I know it took me 28 hours to produce the first set from start to install not including paint drying time. I made mine with crude hand tools. The next one will be machine made.

Here is my rear attachment.
No fancy tools here either. Not a problem with these but try a cage bungs with a bandsaw and portaband lol

Does that upper tube make it clumsy to step into the rear seats?

I honestly haven't stepped up into the rear section with it on there. I purposely made it lower than others on the market for that very reason. I'll try it soon as I reinstall. It shouldn't be in the way at all.

To each his own but I still don't get powder coating sliders. I guess if you run gravel roads it's be okay. I ain't gonna ruin over 100 bucks worth of powder coating. I can freshen mine up any time I want for less than 10 bucks. Can't wait to rough em up.

If those go missing next week, and end up painted silver to match my machine, I know nothing!
