Thanks for the info guys. I am just getting ready to pull the trigger on these myself. I'm also pulling the stock plastic bumpers and am planning on running OR-FAB all the way around.

I like their rear bumper and it's priced right. I going to purchase that for sure.

Default Do the OR Fabs work as a step?

I am getting ready to buy these but have a 5 year old and need to know if they work as a step also?

Thanks

Been considering these as well. Really like the looks of them and they do look like they would work well as a step for the wife and youngins. Any more folks out there running them? Post up some more pics.

They mount in 10 spots on the pinch seam for a 4dr. and 3 points to the body. If you go to OR-Fabs site you can download the installation file and it shows a step by step what it takes.

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??

PROPS TO BRIAN @ 4WD.COM!!!!!

i ordered my lift kit from him about a week ago, so figured id give a call. he matched the price! i <3 4WD!!!!

Good call! That's what I'm doing and absolutely love their products. I've got front and rear bumpers, sliders and tire carrier. Go Go Gadget OR-Fab!

For the guys that have installed these...

Part 1B of the instructions state that you have to cut off the weld nuts located on the back of the pinch seam. How did you accomplish this? Simple die grinder or dremel with cutoff wheel? Any more pics of the underside to show the mounting? Thanks.

Instructions located here:
