Yeah mine are the ones from BC's. They fit very nice. All you need to do is cut the bottom to match your fender cut out and bolt em on. They are VERY heavy duty! 1/4 steel. I am very happy with them. I don't know much about the other brands. I THINK that BC's are the only ones that rap around the rear tail light and go all the way to the tailgate.

Crawlin is correct, BC's are the onlt one that wrap around to the tail gate. That's why they are more expensive then the WH or Duff 1/4s.Mine haven't mounted so easy, cutting around the wheel well and the bottom of panel was expected but having to trim around the tailgate area wasn't, but thats how custom jobs go. I would use them again!!!

I am also running BC's 1/4 panel protectors. I believe they are 3/16" though and not 1/4".

Aaron, I may know someone with a set. I will email him and find out. He's in San Jose.

Steve,

What did you do to use those with hard top? I remember seeing them, but I was like a kid in a candy store, and didn't notice how you made them fit.

Galen,

The fit sucks with the hard top. I understand some guys that want to still run their hard top cut the guards around the hard top so the top still sits flush with the body. I didn't do that so I could still have mine wrap over the top of the tub. I used some foam tape on the sides to help seal it up, but the gap was the biggest around the tail gate. I used two 1/2" pieces of foam tape to try and close the gap. The problem really isn't the water getting in, but the fumes from the exhaust when you crack your front windows for some air.

Next year when I put the top back on after summer, I will do a better job of sealing it up now that I know the problems. If that doesn't seem to help I might cut the guards so the top fits better.
