    The rack looks cool, but shouldn't be made in so many pieces. If that was welded and had a better connection at the back of the bed, it'd be a nice set-up. I like the looks of the sliders but they do look like they attach to the cab like steps... Great for someone like me, but not sliders as they claim to be.

    Front Bumper---

    1. Sticks out waaaay too far.
    2. The sides need to flow with the fenders.
    3. Not sure about the bolt-on d-rings....
    Rear bumper---


    1. The sides of it need to move closer to the wheel wells and close that gap a little bit.
    2. Not sure about the bolt-on tire carrier. Seems weak.

    The roof rack is basically a really expensive light bar. Put any real weight on it and it'll snap faster than an Olsen twin trying to carry Andre the Giant. It has potential but not as designed.

    Love the look of the sliders. Very nice job. Make them weld-ons and you have a winner.

    the rack is def cool, but why didnt they just have it cover the whole roofnand use the factor roof rack mounting spots up front for support and weight distribution? i think it would look better longer and be a little bit more functional if it covered it all.

    What they should do if they are concerned about that is use an L bracket like i made for my Sport Bar....

    I personally think it is a descent looking rack. Could be better. It also looks very weak considering it's almost a "Chase truck" rack and the intention of use.
