    how are these holding up? there is a bunch of movement between the body and frame (which is why the factory is rubber)

    The first one I made was a bit thick and did not need to be. I went thinner and as result they actual have a fair amount of flex if needed. I also have slotted the mounting holes slightly in case the frame flexes on the body when offroading. I have been running mine now for 4 months now with no issues. I have taken it off roading 50mph , spun donuts, hit big dips and all is good. I nailed a big ass rock in Lake havasu and it barley scratched the apron. Furthermore... I am offering to warranty my work if they malfunction or break somehow.

    Looks like they are fitting and looking great! Responded to your pm so let me know what day/ when works best. Could possibly have truck at work on Friday if that's better than tomorrow (no truck) or Saturday.
