AND they don't even wrap around the sills like the good ones.....

I quite liked the look of them but I agree, pricey. I'd make an offer and see what comes of it if you liked them

APT standard without tread plate.

I'm not 100% sure about the GOE's.. but Brads and the APT ones wrap a nice thick steel plate over the entire sill following the profile of the car..... I'd have no hesitation sitting mine on a rock with 2 wheels off the ground.

That looks like it just bolts on and sticks out from the profile of thee vehicle... maybe it's just the photos... They actually look like they hang down and reduces your clearance.. none of the others do that. I'd definitely want to take a close look how they attach to the vehicle before I even contemplated it... and at $100 more than Gordon's Alloy ones.... he's dreaming.

Not to mention they're coated in Line X and Line X don't recommend to paint sliders in their paint due to incorrect application.

Same for GOE, just alloy so about half the weight...
