    I used Rustoleum everything. About 2-3 cans of self-etching primer, and about 4 cans of semi-gloss black. They are chipping from rocks and stuff underneath, but holding up great. I'm going to pull them off this Fall, repaint, check the frame, and re-Fluid Film underneath the frame plates.

    2 coats of primer, 2 coats of paint, a coat of bed liner, that sound good? My sliders should be in next week

    I'd skip the bed liner, it will look good with a rattle can job!

    I’m the same as everybody else used rustoleum self etching primer then semigloss black, then I taped off the filler plates and used duplicolor bedliner I’ve had way better luck out of their bedliner than rustoleum and quality. Also took more cans than I thought 3-4 primer 3 black.

    I honestly just painted until I liked the coverage. I went with bedliner just to give it some grip. Damn things are slick as greased owl shit when wet if not. I use mine as a step too :D

    I have no clue. I can say I spent A LOT of time on mine in Moab without any issues :rofl: My heavy ass truck with stock suspension did a lot of scrapping out there. You gotta think they're all pretty much the same though.

    Those main legs look like they would be a nice place for mud and rocks to collect. Who made those?

    Nevermind, I see that they are SOS by the rear kickout. I didn't realize they made their legs like that.

    Yea I figure their all strong, I haven’t drug these yet but that long bed life makes it more prone.
    Those are sos they’ve got drain holes in the middle I just wonder why the switch from square tube?

    I could have sworn I saw square tubing on @JKU3000's SOS sliders. Maybe he can confirm. I didn't know they changed.
