Hi everyone. My name is Chris. I'm the guy that built the skids and sliders for Robs Raptor. The sliders are weld on and solid. Built from 1 3/4" x.25 wall DOM. They should do much more than act as a step. The goal was to keep things looking close to factory but build in protection that Ford never saw fit to add. Robs factory running boards were completely bent up when he brought in the truck. This should take care of any future damage.
The skids were designed to be easy to bolt on using factory mounts so that no drilling is required. They took weeks of design time and multiple set being built to get them right. Robs set is all 1/4" 5056 Aerospace grade aluminum. Light weight and stronger than the stock skids...if you can actually call them that. The skids still incorporate access for all necessary regular maintenance without removal of the skids. By no means are the Aluminum skids built for rock crawling but neither was the Raptor. We designed a steel version as well for the more abusive driver.

These are very nice!! What is the weights of each plate steel vs aluminum? I am interested in the idea of a group buy keep us informed.
