I just received those JC Offroad Molle door panels and holy cow are they heavy duty. First off I didnt realize they came as a pair which was awesome. Second I was expecting them to be plastic but they were metal. They are probably more heavy duty than the doors I'm putting them on.

So I learned today that I can in fact buy the air design fender flares on their own. It's $130 something plus $50 for shipping. It would take 4 weeks to special order it. So with that being said, considering that I paid way less for all 4 of the Mabett ones, I think I'll just pull the air design...

I was unable to use the OEM mud flaps with Air Design fender flares. Won't line up right.

Unfortunately yes. The steelcraft one dropped me from 44 to 36ish

That looks very nice. Have you noticed a change in your mpg?

1200 miles. Kept it on cruise control at 70mph the whole time. Eco mode. Average mpg was 36.4.

I don’t see any issues with that. Minus of course you being in some sort of a small accident that causes you to bend a bracket. The likelihood of that is minimal though. The only thing I can see that could be an issue is that it might be a knee or shin crusher. I had a Cadillac little suv that I...

I recently made a 1000 mile trio around Florida so pretty flat land and my average mpg was 36.7 with the bumper (now I did lose a piece of the underbody shielding a few hours into the trip which could account for a single mpg). Prior to the bumper I was getting around 43,8 mpg on similarly long...

I have. I didn't have to cut any brackets or metal on the vehicle but I did have to relocate the little reverse chime device that is on the hybrid and cut into my bumper. It was a nightmare to get the bumper on because the instructions provide measurements that just dont seem to work. BUT with...

Definitely lost a ton of MPG. Not super thrilled about that. I spent a few hours sitting on it while fishing the other day. Zero movement. Seems to be on there pretty well. It was a pain to install and depending on the size of the deer and I hit it, it might help but it might not. I have an...

I had a slight incident with my drivers side Air Design Fender Flare and unfortunately they dont sell them individually. I will need to replace it and I'm considering just slapping the Mabett one there. Figured since I had them both out, I would send photos of them side by side. Now that I can...

For anyone curious, I just made a 1000 mile trio around Florida so pretty flat land and my average mpg was 36.7 with the bumper (now I did lose a piece of the underbody shielding a few hours into the trip which could account for a single mpg). Prior to the bumper I was getting around 43,8 mpg on...

Where did you find the diagram for the under body shield? I just had a tire retread fly off a truck and I ran it over and the rear drivers side portion ripped off. Now I’m hearing all sorts of noises like something is loose and jiggling around. Going to need to replace that piece now. Just need...

I put a ranch hand on the F150. Think that install took about 30 minutes. The steelcraft one is very similar but just a more “diet” version.

those are neat but it wouldn't work with my diamondback cover

I'm not sure how it would handle in an accident. It felt tough but after the headaches of putting it on, I feel like if I had to ever be in a situation where it needed to come off, like an accident, I'm just going to sell the damn truck. If they were able to make the brackets fit a little better...

20-30lbs maybe. Not all that much, I was moving it around with one arm. At the very very most, 40lbs. I didnt notice any sort of drop in the front after I put it on. I had a tape measure on top of the drivers side tire that was just about a perfect fit from top of the tire to the wheel well...

For the steelcraft one you do. Not a fun task putting it back on with the guard installed. Definitely the least enjoyable car project I’ve done and I’ve done a ton over the years. My guess is that the instructions were from 2022 because there were some subtle differences in the 2023. The little...

I forgot to take photos during the day. These will have to work. They are holding tight around the wheel well. It’s just the double stick tape that’s failing and I attribute that to the high pressure of the car wash. Even my diamondback cover leaks from the car wash. In the photos it’s the rear...

Hard to tell really, they both seem like they are made from the same density of plastic. The AD ones just arrived in better packaging than the Mabett ones. If I have some time tomorrow I will try and get some photos. I have to remove the front pair to put the Steelcraft bumper on so I'll try and...
