I know this has been asked and I did a bunch of searching, just want a little feedback.
The three options as I see it:
Trail Armor, the top of the line.
Pros:
1/2" UHMW
impeccable reputation
great fit and finish
Cons:
pricey ($1100 shipped)
No slider option and honestly do not like the "lip" that stick out instead. Better than nothing but ugly mudcatcher
SSS, middle quality and price
Pros:
rockslider fold that comes up side 3"
price
semi local to me and free install (or free shipping)
aesthetically pleasing
Cons:
some mixed reviews (poor communication at least?)
3/8" UHMW
no bracket on back or addressing of "hump issue"
SATV, cheapest, no frills but sturdy?
Pros:
cheap
1/2" UHMW
free shipping
good reviews
Cons:
no slider or "lip"
has to be inferior F&F to TA no?
What say you guys?
I can just about rule out the TA's just due to price and that damn lip (aesthetically and functionally).
I would love to go SATV if there were an additional slider piece that could be added on. Do not want nerf sliders and may not even be available for crew
SSS makes me nervous with a few bad reviews (especially bad opinions on here) and the lesser material. Sliders are a nice touch though.
I did the math and the weight difference between the two thicknesses would probably only be +/- 15#
rambling thanks to some tasty bourbon. that is all.
