[dbeyers]

They dont provide much cover if any for rocks flung by the tires, at least on the squatch tires. but i agree better to have than not

Thanks!

I installed the Lund Trail Armor last week before installing the factory tube steps, and I feel they really make for a clean, finished look.

Would it be amateur to put Bedliner over the pinch weld, basically mimic that armor without worrying about rain/snow/salt/mud?

This covers pinch weld and protects the rocker panel. Dresses up the unfinished look of the pinch weld.

Pics below are accessories catalog pic and actual install on my 2 door WT.

In the below pic, you can see the pinch weld exposed before adding the rocker panel trail armor. As you can see, you can have tube steps too.

Thanks a million!

Did you have to remove the steps before installing the rocker panel?

I have a pair that I wont be using if anyone is interested. I'd be willing to part with them for a fair price.... Shipping cost probably gonna suck tho.

HEY, were you able to sell your rails?

No it doesn’t. They took that into consideration. I’ve installed it.

that's great. I just got my set for the 4 door. How did the install go? I have the tube steps also FYI if that makes any difference to the installation.

I have used spray on bedliner many times for undercoating because it is rock hard, easy to apply and affordable. Not sure why I wont do it on my Wildtrac when it gets here.

Anybody have thoughts?

It wasn’t any harder with the tube steps as my obx has them. It was about 30 minutes in the garage.

Mine arrived today, I aim to find time this weekend to install them and I also plan to do a DIY video as well. I have an OBX, which as we know, comes with the side steps.

$209 from OEMpartsquick.com. Best price I could find.

A little pricey, but WELL worth the money! I couldn’t believe how much better it made it look. It’s the look that it should have come from the factory. I highly recommend getting this. Best bang for the buck with the most positive visual impact mod I’ve made.

Wow that’s a well thought out accessory. Enthusiasts griping about the ugly appearance of that pinch weld is so common that you have to wonder why that part of this accessory isn’t standard equipment. Yeah, I know…$$$.

so. been thinking about these... wouldn't it trap all sorts of stuff in-between it and the pinch. my f150 rusted behind the front wheel arches bc of the plastic lip of the fender.

Yeah, had them for around 18 months now, no issues at all - you won’t regret getting them. They also protect the lower painted areas too which some of the pinch weld covers don’t do. 10K views on my install video too:
