If all you want is the sliders, I’ve got a stainless steel ones and the heavy duty ones both in stock that will both do better than the OEM ones
How are yours attached? Also, can you provide a link? I tried going to your website, but it seemed to be having an issue...

I like how this "delete" the rear mudflap - outside of this product, does someone make a mudflap delete for front and back?

Guess I’m not seeing my truck for awhile. I wonder what they found when they started taking it apart.

Are they heavy duty? I would say no, Not because I sell a competing product, but because I saw them first hand. They are thin gauge steel that bolt on the top of the sil using M6 bolts. The underbody is a laminated aluminum panel. The top edge of the slider is not wide enough to stand on.
It's a three piece system whose main reinforcement is indeed held on by M6 bolts, 14 of them. Even using lower grade 4.6 and looking at the shear strength of the threaded portion, that's a total capacity of 12k pounds, 50% more than curb weight, and higher than the vehicle GVWR. Per side. Plus five M8 bolts from the bottom.

As to not being a step, that both maintains stock appearance and reduces required clearance width. Further, use as a step in general puts increased torque loads on undermounted systems which can impinge on the pack itself if not designed correct.

The trucks don't come with mud flaps (but they are available from the store). There is a source for covers in place of the aero fairings in front of the tires on Etsy.

Thanks @mongo - I probably used the wrong term but this is exactly what I was looking for. Wish it wasn't an ABS 3D printed product (seems like it will fail over time) but it's exactly what I wanted.

Yes they’re sold on Etsy and some vendor on here. I just removed the fronts and left the small holes didn’t use the front filler piece. Rear pieces are easy to install and it looks so much better.

Who are the vendors here that sell them? I'm interested. Thank you.

In theory I’ll be getting the truck back tomorrow. So that will be three days to complete the install. Kind of a surprising long time but don’t really care as long as it comes back in one piece.

I am just morbidly curious at this point about the adventure my truck has been on this week. They had it taken apart yesterday but now it’s back in the lot. Was my truck about to explode? Seems like a lot of parts are getting ordered and replaced.

They updated the schedule to say it will be completed Tuesday but who knows anymore. It’s a crazy world we will live in. I know they don’t have any folks at my service center who work on the cybertrucks sat/sun so we are now at, being very generous, 5 days for installation. Not counting the first two days it sat there waiting for other parts.
