Does anyone have OEDRO Running boards? Any good?

Says carbon steel. Or is that the layer under the coating before the steel tubes?

Here is the write up direct from Oedro. You gotta watch those Amazon prices. You don’t always get the best deal there.

Thank you! They were actually 295.00 on Amazon on prime day.

Lol that’s what you get from an Amazon ad. That’s why I always double check Amazon ads on the manufacturers website.

Yes, that’s a great price. I’ve seen the same part as high as $600. When I bought mine you couldn’t get them on Amazon at that time. The reason I purchased them was because they are stainless steel. Lots of salt in winter here.

I sent two questions to Oedro customer support via their web page for these steps. They are also posted on the site in the Q&A section now.

WRT the type of steel, from Oedro Customer support: (turns out Amazon was correct)

This response really doesn't deter me, especially living in FL, however, I thought I would share their response.

Also, I asked this wrt weight:

I was surprised how heavy they are. Carbon Steel works for me as well. The wrinkle coat finish is excellent.

They have a stainless wrap around the carbon steel tubes. Is what I understand, so you have your coating then a thin stainless steel wrap if I read the image correctly.

Which is sweet because in my history the rust generally attacked after scraping the coating on something etc.They look great too especially for the price you guys got them at.

I ordered the OETESS-0031's. Unfortunately, I received them with a large hole in the end of the box that the ends of the rails poked through. UPS had them stood up, of course on that end down so they had already scraped on the concrete when I got to the front door. Otherwise, in good shape but I do want to use some touch up matte black powder coat type paint pen or something to prevent any rust in the future in those spots.

I like the look. Have not installed them yet. They are really substantial feeling.

Oedro is zero help for providing any suggestions on touch up paint. Ordered from Amazon so will discuss with them about touch up paint.

Does anyone have a suggested touch up kit for Oedro steps?
I was looking at this:
Dupli-Color ASF0104 Universal Flat Black Exact-Match Scratch Fix All-in-1 Touch-Up Paint - 0.5 oz.

As a follow up.
I used this and the color and sheen matched very well for the small touch ups I needed on the ends.

I bought these brand new on Craigslist for… $80 slapped them on my girls pavement princess.

They’re pretty beefy and decent quality, but they’re not frame mounted, so I wouldn’t use it on an rig you’re planning to off road

Definitely not as strong as frame mounted but remember the rock rails are mounted the same way.

The factory rubi toothpicks are mounted the same way, so what’s your point?

The point is the Rubi rail mounting points are strong enough to support the weight of the Jeep.
