Re: Welding Question
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.
