Do these come as bare steel as pictured? Is powder coating an option? I guess it would be simple to prime and paint them yourself...then you could even do any color you wanted to match your truck.
for the love of God, do not order bare steel sliders. I made this mistake and i primed them and painted them and the paint got all types of f'ed up during the install, despite my taking necessary precautions. If I could do it all over again, I would paint on top of the powdercoat or use a really durable enamel or epoxy based paint of some sort. My two cents.
How do you like them now? Do you have the regular ones? Can you use them as foot holds when reaching up to the roof?
I have shrockworks bolt ons, not CBI, but they look very similar, no kickout on mine. Yes, they work great as steps. They dont sit too much lower than the truck itself though as they are angled up.
Check out my posts in the shrockworks group buy in the general info section. I have been having a hell of a time installing them, but they are definitely very well made and rugged, as I'm sure CBI's are too - CBI just wasn't having a group buy and those gussets would not have agreed with my xreas lines
Thanks. Didn't realize the CBI weren't xreas compatible.
