    Mine arrived both damaged in the box. It was clearly dropped on one end by the shipping company. I filed a return and the company sent a single email and never replied to anything else. They wanted pics of damage. I ended up having to call Amazon and get them to take them back. Amazon received them two days ago and I still don't have my refund. I'm gonna have to call them tomorrow.

    Actually really happy with the Tyger Star Armor steps I installed yesterday - surprisingly functional as a decent step (not a ton of drop, but enough to ease my wife entering the truck) and I really like the finish that's textured black gloss. Clearly not something I'd go sliding over rocks on, but will prevent door dings and potentially thwart other minor damage while giving some good style, step, and enabling me to access the roof easier when my Prinsu comes in!

    Not so much dirt but they do like to collect a ton of snow and slush.

    Where would the snow and slush go if it didn't collect, I would rather on my steps than my truck.

    I have been contemplating get a set of these myself for the fam. Personally not a fan of running boards but need it for the fam and the looks of these aren't bad. Is there a good bit of room for my big foot? I've got some big feat lol. Like them to work for my needs too washing top of truck ECT. Thanks!

    Yes, the steps are quite large actually - not as much width as a drop step style, but definitely wider than average nerf bars. The steps are a bit high, but do give you an extra 3" or so back for the step into the truck. Definitely helps shorter folks get in though and they don't hurt ground clearance hardly at all which is what I wanted to be sure of. I got several compliments on them over the weekend so I guess they look pretty good on there. I'm only 5'11" and can easily reach over 1/2 way across the roof standing on them though which is perfect for washing or tying things down.

    Amazon usually takes a few days to process the return even though they mark it as received. I would only be worried after 1 week or longer.

    I have these and love them. You really can't beat them for the price! I get compliments on them all the time.

    I like the look of those, do they mount to the body or frame? (I understand they are not rock sliders)

    These really match the truck nicely. Would buy in a heartbeat if they made them for AC.
