There **** is crazy expensive there. I called them when i was looking for a body lift. they wanted 200 for the lift and 800 to install it. my buddy paid 6 grand for his lift and for it to be installed on his f150. I told him he was nuts him and i could of done it in a weekend for much less. I called them for ubolts 3 weeks ago and they wanted 25 a bolt. I laughted and hung up the phone.


Apple Hill 4x4 is way over rated. they were featured on Xtreme 4x4 a couple weeks ago.

Way to tacky drop all the crome dress up parts for functional equipment and it would look ok.

I don't get how it is that tacky.

It has a brush guard, tail light covers, lights, etc.

Nothing over the top.

i remember seeing a few trucks when i was at penn tech with all that applehill crap. to me they do generic work and u pay out the *** because they have a niche up there. i called em up for a bumper and they wanted over a grand for a plow like bumper. when i wanted to have one made like i wanted they said we only make em this way. needless to say i told em where to go. a few guys swear by them, me personally...blech.

They sound like some stuck-ups that should be put in their place to me.

Did they actually use the Twin Beam front? I don't believe that's even a full SAS (so to speak).

Why would you go to all that work and not even get a full Solid Axle up front?

I mean it at least look like a pretty clean job. I'm wondering if they just swapped a Ranger body over to a Fullsize frame.

Still looks like the TTB to me. And look at that bumper alignment, blah.
Obviously this truck doesn't see much off road. I assume the financier for this truck is concerned about looks, not off road capabilities. I bet even going on the grass was a stretch for him lol.

Funny thing is, they cleaned it all nice for the photo shoot, but forgot to scrub the blue off the white lettering lol.

loose the chrome accessories, add an extreme drop pitman, scrub the tires, and I'ma ssuming they didn't regear.. and then it'd be respectable..
