These were cheap ebays. Like $120 for both. They started peeling almost immediately and didn't fit right. I messaged the company and they told me that once they were installed they were no longer warrantied. What kind of ****** policy is that?

Ha. I wish that were true. Would mean I'd get almost 3400 miles on 34 gallons of diesel.

I built it myself man. I'm about to start building and selling them. It mounts between the doors and the cab to the inner frame. e53b169dc3f65d8d32378c393c3b43a3.jpg

Oh it definitely is. They have never even fit right since I bought them. Check out the gaps behind them. I've tried everything they just don't want to sit flush.

Mine are pretty close to that too.lol i ended up pulling off the little rubber things just b/c they stuck outside of the grille and looked ridiculous. But when 75% of your truck is now fiberglass...its hard to blame body gaps on one thing.lol

Well good job, it's pretty cool![emoji1303][emoji1303]

Thanks man. It's heavy duty, not cheaply made like the stuff that's out there that doesn't hold any weight. The cab will give before the rack does.

Lol I'd be curious to see what your truck weighs now.

Me too.lol I can tell you from hucking all those panels out at the scrapyard...that it probably shaved a few hundred lbs. probably gained a little back with the wheels/tires. but not much.
