SO glad you posted this! My step/sliders were delivered a couple weeks ago and I'm looking forward to installing them when I get back from this business trip. I like the look of the bed-liner covered units but I'm impatient to get wrenching on the mountain of mods I have waiting for me and didn't want to have to wait to get mine lined before mounting.You guys all do realize he has an old version of the steps. There are multiple key differences in what is shown here and what is currently being sold. All rust related issues have been addressed with the new e coating process where the whole step is completely submerged. I ran my mk2 rock rails all across the country through snow in the Rockies and streets of salty Chicago and they still have no rust. These are the nicest step/sliders on the market for the price. Hands down...
Agreed! Mine are flawless. The new e-coat still looks great after almost a year installed.You guys all do realize he has an old version of the steps.

My Jeep spends half its time in the desert. My ROAM rails have been abused on the desert/mountain trails and have been bottomed out on the rocks many times. Trail damaged sides and bottoms are easily repaired with sandpaper, a wire brush, and a rattle can. The untouched areas of my rails are still in perfect condition. There are no signs of any rust. However, I do wash and wax my Jeep after our weekly group runs.You guys all do realize he has an old version of the steps.

Probably not, because they’ve been MIA on these threads to tell people otherwise. It’s good to hear that they supposedly fixed things, but it’s no excuse for the countless examples of shit customer service I’ve read about.You guys all do realize he has an old version of the steps.
The new rails are e-coated, so rust shouldn't be a problem anymore. It's what other vendors are doing these days. As for waiting time, I'm not sure. I'd go by what the latest posts.So what is the verdict / concensus at this point - have the new MK3 fixed the rust issues and the company has been able to fill orders in a reasonable matter now? The consistent reports like the customer service, waitings 6+ months, and rust have held me back from a great looking product.
It seems like they have actually been trying to make improvements since that thread but I can’t be certain. Still bent they nearly doubled the price of the rear bumper/tire carrier but it is what it is.
You guys do realize there is a difference between correcting a defect in a new model and making things right with the people who purchased your product prior to the correction. The new product may be great but the company is not reputable. If they were they would recall the POS rails they sold to us and refund/replace at their cost - not ours. I'm driving a beautiful 2018 wrangler with rusty steps. There is no excuse for this.You guys all do realize he has an old version of the steps.
