These are offered in either "wrinkle black" or "bike black". Does anyone know what the difference is? got pics?

Also, looking to find out if i can use these for a jack/lift point. Anyone know if the body will hold up with these attached?

And finally, price. Our favorite sponsors have them listed as:
4wd: $579
qtec: $503
northridge: $503
I found them on a non-sponsor (4wheelonline-dot-com) site for $442. Any of our sponsors wanna chime in here and offer me this lower price??

Just installed mine! They are really strong!! I took my floor jack to see what they could do, i jacked the drivers side off the ground. both tires where in the air. Install was really easy. Just my I did get the wrinkle ones almost like a matte black. The Bike black is like a glossy black i think
I LOVE OR-Fab products!

Do these mount to the frame or body mounts?

I have these and flipping LOVE them. Wrinkle black is flat powder coated black with a slight rough texture, bike black is shiny black.

No issues when jacking from them, they are secured VERY WELL and will be great if you need to use them.

They are really mounted to the frame with I think 3 or 4 bolts which is the real strength behind them, as well as attaching to the pinch seem.

I have seen the wrinkle black and the bike black. The wrinkle black is the more standard semi flat with a texture. The bike black is smooth and shiny. The bike black definitely is not my taste.

I looked at these but went with the PureJeep ones. I've had the jeep resting on just one wheel and the drives side rail. Just took off a little paint.
