    So far none that have been good. I hope things can get turned around and I'm told you will have a good part in doing so.

    Standing on a friends gussetless sliders and bouncing like a trampoline...well maybe a little exaggerated, but they deflected like a SOB under 240# of weight. Also seen a couple crumpled skids, but that discussion is like beating a dead horse and there is nothing new to say.

    I did take a look at the new transfercase skid and I have to ask...why the hump? Whenever I see a hump in a skid plate I just shake my head. My skids run flat with the cross members so for the life of me I can;t figure it out.

    Taking a month to get a U-bolt flip kit when I was told it was in stock and would ship out within three days - then being told there is a "disclaimer" online that said 8-10 days or some crap that I didn't need to hear because I spoke to a human being. The cash was taken out and a tracking number supplied, but still took forever and ever to ship. The shipping dept needs to stop printing out labels and sending out confirming e-mails until the item is ready to ship. I would also change the wording on the website.

    Watching the new "bolt on" sliders deflect as stated above under the static load of a stock Tacoma being jacked up. The general design needs to be tweaked IMO. The front support is way to far back from the front of the truck and needs to be moved forward. IMO they should be as far forward as possible, and that would mean fabricating a bracket to go right next to the cab mount or around it.

    That's it for me... I have many local friends who can chime in with their issues if your looking for constructive criticism so you can help turn that ship around.

    I'm glad to see someone at AP is taking the time to address the rumors and ask about customer feed back. It all starts there.

    Just tint and ppl for now.
    AP has always been very courteous and responsive. That being said, the shipping has always been terrible. I told you guys the story in how they sent me an empty envelope that was supposed to have a spanner wrench in it. Lol. That was the best story. The rest consisted of missing parts and what not. They always made it right though and were good about doing it.

    guys if anyone knows someone who might be interested in our area, i am selling this rail w/ detachable step set for $300. i know these aren't hardcore enough for a lot of you because they are bolt on, but you might know someone whose loins will be tickled with these.

    I actually have never had a problem with all pro. I ordered extended brake lines, front and rear bump stops, u bolt flip kit, expo leaf packs.

    But there really aren't any other items I would order from them.
