Def not painting over factory paint.Oh I don't doubt the ease of it. I just have to get over the hump of painting over something new and not being reversible. My other thought was using Plasti Dip with many coats.

What is the usable width of the step on these? Both look almost too narrow to be usable as a step to get in/out of the front seats.
Absolutely not my experience. No issues full disclosuredont buy metaltech. have fitment issue, emailed for guidance. they had two weeks to respond and still nothing. purchased directly from them. i regret not buying rci for relatively nominal price difference. poor customer support. just my opinion but rci front mounting point also looks stronger. only reason why i did was metaltech was in stock. should have waited.
This is the only reason I ordered RCI vs MT on 7-16-23, just days after taking delivery of my Bronco. The only downside is the 8 week lead time for RCI. The MT's were in stock.Easy choice, RCI looks like you can add skid plates later and Metaltech will have u bolts in the way.
But do they cover your doors? Looks like some large gaps for the rocks to make contact with that nice paint job..I was thinking about getting the rock hard 4x4 sliders next year. They cover up the pinch seam and appears to be more clearance than RCI and don’t need pinch weld cover. Looks more stock than some o of the other sliders.
Honestly I’m more worried about a boulder hitting the doors than being spattered by rock chips. So the angled up without covers look nice and minimalist.But do they cover your doors? Looks like some large gaps for the rocks to make contact with that nice paint job..
Did you have any issues with the u-bolt installation and the stock BL skid plates?Finally got around to installing the @Metal-tech 4x4 sliders! Installation was straight forward and I could see these holding up for a long time. Defiantly recommend a friend to help and use of floor jacks!
For the pinch weld I ended up using XPEL PPF for bed rails. It’s the same as the door sill protector but comes in a longer and a wider roll. I simply just cut it to length and put it on with the aid of a heat gun to help mold it around some bolts.
