The add-on stuff like the roof racks, rear bumper, and ladders look cheap and cheesy. Makes me wonder about the actual 4x4 work and the attention to details like brake lines and such.

You get what you pay for. And I would rather pay for the best parts and labor money can buy. Especially when my 10,000lb van is hurtling down the highway at 80 mph. Or stranded in The Maze because a shoddy weld broke loose.
