how much did ya apes cost?
I was at a dealership anniversery party today and just decided to check and see what it would cost for 18in apes parts and labor and the quoted me almost $1000. Thats not new switch housings or anything just bars cables wiring harness grips and LABOR! If this is the going rate Ill have to figure out how to do it myself because that seems like highway robbery. I am very aware that things are higher at the dealership but thats crazy. Maybe I'm wrong so my question is what did you pay?

You can do it pretty cheap if your willing to do it yourself.
I liked the package from Hill Country Customs on ebay, it came with all the cables and chrome switches and housings and is just under $700 bones, it's not cheap either but is a nice upgrade.
Hell the MoCo wants that just for the chrome switch covers.
It's an easy install, just get a shop manual and a Saturday afternoon and do it at home.
