    Wouldn't he be the exact opposite of a fanboy?

    OP asked. Call him up an' get ROWDY bout how he's internettin' all wrong!

    They think pointing out a company's products are poorly and/or well made in a signature counts as fanboyism. I'd have to agree...isn't it more like, hateboyism?

    YOU WILL BE MISSED Satoshi Grill, FX-R retros, husky liners, bed bolt d-rings, TRD short throw shifter, 2.5 Fox Coil overs, AP UCA's, AP Expo rear leaf with Fox 2.0 shocks, Extended SS brake lines, AP kick-out sliders, 265/75/16 on Konig Countersteers, AllPro Apex front bumper and Zip Ties.
    I helped load the Discovery shuttle onto the back of the NASA 747 with my All-Pro kickout Sliders. I got a little nick in the Rhino Lining coating but they worked. Honest.;)

    Serously, I have a few of their items (UCA's, Expo leafs, u-bolt flip and sliders)and I don't work them too hard but they definitely improve the stock set up.:D

    i ordered my billy fronts and had fast shipping and have no complaints about that order. i ordered a front bumper in jan of 2011. in feb they said it was ready to ship. i recieved it in late april. and when a tree jumped out infront of me at 25 mph it fell apart. the bolts pulled through the holes and ended up being about 9 grand in damage. i replaced that with a bruteforce fab. i am very impressed with it and the craftmanship is 10 to 1 better than the allpro.

    If i want a bumper to nerf and smash, i'd get one tied into my engine cage like this:
    [​IMG]

    All Pro stuff is good, I bought some shit for my girl's truck (UCA, Expo Leaf pack) and I had their leaf pack for a few years, loved it.

    I would not run their bumper tho after seeing some threads about them falling apart and the rust problems.

    Their LT kit is tits, seen MonkeyProof in action many times.

    I've seen their sliders flex.

    Never seen their armor in action.

    Met their owner, awesome guy.

    and that's about it

    Yes it does. AP sheds some light on their design philosophy (their words, not mine), and I point out the alternative I feel is best.

    How silly of me to have an opinion. That's super weird.

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion. That's what makes this country great. Funny how I haven't seen any pics of bent up AP armor, and Monkey and myself have tested that theory many many many times on the trails we wheel.

    Yes. Yes they are.

    Regarding pics, you'll have to pardon that that's not on my priority list. I really don't feel the need to prove things I know to be true. It's the same reason I don't feel a need to get video of gravity working.

    same shit as everyone else
    Buying allpro products is like expecting quality furniture from Ikea or Wallmart... Plus why do we always give all our Toyota Mod $$'s to Socal? Why not spread the wealth around a little?

    The things required to pull bitches
    Kinda funny it's mostly web wheelers who bashes all pro. They have their plus and minus. Their bumpers were kept light for a few reasons if you ever been in the Cali desert Going fast with your truck you'll understand why they are light. With a good spotter and experience you don't really need to worry about hitting your bumper.

    I know for a fact Brandon isn't a web wheeler. He's probably put more miles on trails and the desert than most of us here. His all pro bumper tugged, yanked and dragged my truck quite a few times in Pismo and big bear.
