So I found these on the Chinese Marketplace "Amazon" for about $400 off what IAG charges ($699) same F'in boards ... minus the goofy middle color plate. I'm not affiliated in anyway with this product -

IMO...you get what you pay for, but maybe worth a try (for that price). Worse case would be to have them re-coated.

There the exact same boards
Are you 100% sure - China can "copy" anything to make it look like someone else's product. They may look identical, but made with different grade products & manufactured cheaper (for a reason).

Buy a can of Truck Bed liner at Home Depot and spray them down before install - that should work

I give up, never again, (done suggesting) - I should have known better

I bought these a few weeks ago - you can actually get them even cheaper on eBay (almost $200):
https://www.ebay.com/itm/197289568014

They look great! Quality seems fine so far. Will see how they hold up after a NorthEast winter.

Are they the same quality as the IAG ones? No, I don't think so. IAG offers a lifetime warranty and makes theirs in the US.

This company says 3 years warranty on Amazon and 2 years on that eBay link. I'm not sure the company will stand behind the warranty, but in any case for $200 (with free returns) I was fine with taking a gamble.

Hopefully I get a few years out of them, which is all I intend to keep my Bronco for.

The only downside to the design on these versus the IAG that I noticed when installing is there's no foam on the brackets that secure these to the rock rails. I think they will scratch them up pretty badly if installed as they come.

I had some of this product in my toolbox from a prior project:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D83YDD17?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_5&th=1

I cut some of this and applied it onto the brackets. It made them a bit of a tight fit - but I think this will prevent the brackets from badly scratching the rock rails.

Will try to add a few pictures of these installed later today.

Overall I'm very happy with these so far. I think they look great and the price was a crazy value. They've very sturdy and are giving me extra protection from rocks coming off my sasquatch tires - which is the reason I went with this style.

I promise you they are copies. I could give you a live tour ANY day of the week that shows this. The fact is the production of our steps keeps us from releasing new products timely due to the workload on our production team. We have new products waiting 4+ months to get a production time slot. We have and will always be very transparent about the products we import and sell. To that point, we are actually dropping alot of these products to focus on making them right here in the US.

Amazon does a splendid job of CREATING a market that rewards companies for making clones of quality products.

I'm sure - but I don't have the scratch to pay you $440 more for boards on a vehicle I drive occasionally, when these will work fine like the other fellow said. When or if they get shitty I'll take them off re-spray them or throw them in the dumpster and buy something else, if I still have the Bronco which I highly doubt. I'm not trying to step on your toes Mr. Adam, just trying to help out people in the same situation I'm in - best of luck with all your product sales...

A lot nicer than what I would have expected - a nice heavy coat of truck bed liner on top of what all ready looks pretty nice - and anyone would be good to go I would think for a few years anyway. Thanks for the tip on the rubber liner I bought some in anticipation of my boards arriving Friday. After I install them I will also post up here 🤙

So I guess the question begs an answer...? Who came first IAG or the Chinese version - who copied who ...?

Are these style of rails really strong enough to hold someone up? I mean they must be but that's decent leverage on those rock rails. If some 300lb big boy bounces on them, they don't bend anything?

They're very sturdy. There are 4 contact points on the rock rails. I had to jump on them a little to get them seated all the way after I added the rubber to the brackets since it was a tight fit (because of the rubber I added). I'm confident they aren't going anywhere.

300lbs? I have no idea - I'm not close to that. But I don't believe it would be a problem.

Bought these running boards overnight not even 24hrs later rust. Re-packed and sent pack not worth the hassle. IMHO buy something else. Quality control is lacking on these boards.
