Looking for boat side sliders, preferably bolt on. I like the CavFab ones. Anyone got any feedback on them?

I have to agree with @Dyolfknip74

You will find a lot about @Metalcloak on here. I will add some links ranging from Great Customer Service to Installation. I love mine...and yes, they have been used for their rightful purpose :)



In this post (vid), you will see some of my rock rash: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...ders-for-serious-wheeling.102914/post-3387154





Here is a visual where you can see that they saved some body paint:

Here is comparison from stock to MC:

Here is a post on HERE about their customer service:





Now I will add a couple links here on MY customer service experience from them (not all in reference to the sliders):

I ran all the following trails at stock height with stock rubi tires, but with added armour, including my MC Sliders. TRUST ME, they saved me from a fair amount of body damage!

Can't see them too good here:

I can't say enough about their products (Also have the narrow rear bumper), and their exceptional customer service!

And, nope...I did not get anything from them for free advertising :)
There are install vids out there. I seem to have misplaced mine - sorry.




One view of them:

Not me, but a good shot of them:

Thank you guys for recommending our rails. I have been beating on mine for over 6 years. The jeep has been dropped on them.

i can get you some more pictures if you'd like, but:
-i see now Artec no longer lists these on their website.
-they do NOT stick out enough to be used as a step, and the top part of them is angled to where you couldn't use it as a step. (i didn't want anything that stuck out that far.)


You got any more pictures by chance? Do they stick out enough to be used as a step?

Dang, that’s disappointing they don’t make them anymore. Well no real need for pics, I appreciate it though.
