Anyone run these? https://diy4x.com/product.php?productid=17931&cat=253&page=1

I talked with Kert, but he had no idea how the factory ones attached. I am thinking with some work I should be able to use the existing factory mounting locations/brackets? Might be a bit of a challenge, but I'm up for that. Metal is more interesting to me to work with than the various other designs out there, so these would seem to be a good choice.
 
I have a set but haven’t installed them yet.
it came with 8 of the aluminum l brackets that I assume are for attaching to the floor/ wheel well.
the black piece is what holds the front and rear panels together.
the bag of screws. The top screws go into the bracket that holds the front and rear together. The bottom screws are what attaches the panels to the truck.

nice pieces. Cuts are straight, powder coating is great. 690E6840-6310-4D44-9E6E-4E0D564FF0B0.jpeg
 
Huh. Looks pretty good to me! Screws for the panels appear to be same size as what was factory.
 
Ordered yesterday, along with the frame boxing kit. Not in a huge rush to get them, another project to drag out forever lol.

However the factory pieces are all but garbage at this point, the humidity/condensation from the truck sitting 99% of the time didn't help.

If I can find another tub, I'd rather do the work to it, but relatively clean later tubs sure aren't easy to find.
