Very difficult to bend (at least mine are), dent, scratch... yes. I'm
pretty sure they would support the whole Jeep. They keep my rocker panels
off rocks and trees... a requirement if you care anything about the body
(and that your doors seal up and fit right). The newer sliders are as
effective and don't stick out like nerfs.
