I haven't seen any in the BR area but

It's always a privilege to work with our customers on a personal level to custom build their dream vehicle, just how they want it. That was the case with the Bonner's and this beautiful new Z71 Tahoe that recently rolled out of the Elite shop. Jon's wife Priscilla will be rolling in style with the 6" FabTech lift and Dirt Logic coilovers, 35" Toyo Open Country tires on 22x12 Fuel Maverick wheels, Amp powerboards, color match trim and tint all around. Thank you both for placing your trust in the Elite team and look forward to seeing photos of your new ride in the future.




That's amazing that with those modifications the manufacturer will still honor warranty. Just the wheels alone will cause premature steering and bearing failures.

Of course they're here to stay.

They know they can order all the parts and install them themselves. Mark the price up 20-30% for each additional gadget and wait for some 18 year old awl field baw back from his first hitch to snatch it up for 60k and 16% apr.

Throw on some Luke Bryan or Jason Aldean, pop a bud lat, and hit mud nationals baw.

ETA: Forgot, of course Flerda Gerja line is an option too.

I was looking at 4runners. Love the way the TRDs look. But ill fully admit im a city-slicker who has no use for the all-terrain offroad package. The dealer said they would be the wheels, spacers, grill and emblems on an SR5 for me for like 2K lol.

This is just a way for people to add the mods into their financing. The sad part is they don't think about what they are actually paying for those mods with the 72 months of financing interest.

"dealer" installed aftermarket accessories are usually marked up a hell of a lot more than that.

They dont even do the work themselves. They just have other custom shops do the work

Judging from the absurb bolt-ons that Jon hung on the vehicle, I can only imagine the kind of divorce fuel that he hung on his wife.

Of course. It takes away almost all of the leverage the consumer has while simultaneously making them feel like they are in control.

I don't get the fascination with mudruding. I think it's lame.

Yep, I know a guy here who was installing leveling kits, and wheels and tires for several dealerships in the area and making a killing.

I remember when I went look at my truck on the lot there was one there that had a leveling kit, wheels and tires, and the dealership had a $6500 up-charge for that stuff. I did the exact crap after I bought my truck and it ran $3300 installed. People see that they can roll it into their note though and don't have to come out of pocket for any of it, they're getting screwed.
