I'm shopping for 3x3's and considering Appletree's DOM 3x3s. I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with these or their metal work. I believe they make these in house...?

Why the secrets, I would like to know if anybody has had any experience with these as well!

They are fine. Just examine them closely to make sure they are square.

Don't feel left out. No secrets, just people trying to sell theirs. I'm still waiting for a real answer.

They are horrible! Poor design and I have dealt with a friend buying those arms and just ended up making our own. They had way too much toe. Go with the boxed style. Then you wont be snagging stuff on them.

I know baja guys with these mild steel ones and they beat the hell out of them...

I thought they are quality built, but found one to be a small amount out of square. Not exactly pleased, but from a construction standpoint, ok....

I have had Appletree arms on my buggy for 5 years. No problems, no complaints.
