UP (Unplugged Performance) Rocker Panels and Sliders - Arrived & Installed

[JUSTICEQD]

I installed mine about 3 weeks ago. love them! I did have a fitment issue on the passenger side, both finder flairs would not mate back up where the sliders meet them. I ended up trimming the flairs to get them to mate. Drivers side did not have any issues. I do have an earlier VIN and that might be the reason.

oh and my range has increased at least 3 figures of merit. LOL

So I did the side yesterday and noticed the same on the same side Passenger rear was tight. I thought I was going to have to shave the flare (bottom), but with a little umph I was able to get the clips to align

Those look awesome. Should I ask the dumb question now and take it away from the trolls?
Do you notice an impact on range?
And I really don't care if they do but someone out there will DEFINITELY ask.

I've begun taping strings to it and have my Stihl blower ready to test airflow before and after

Honestly though.. No clue and don't expect it would be measurable difference for me to notice.

I have been waiting for these to be available to ship instead of backorder as well while also waiting to see what Tesa’s OEM ones will look like. These look sooooooo good. Do they look pretty flush with the fender flares?

Good question. The fender flares set into the wheel well about 1/2 inch further. Not noticeable unless you were looking to compare it. I didn't till you asked ;-)

Thanks for the detailed pic. Yeah not really noticeable and could even say it’s looks like it could be OEM and not aftermarket. Looks soo good I think I might finally pull the trigger and get these!

No texture on the top, I wonder if they will be slippery to stand on in rain or snow.

What is the point of these? Simply looks?

We have had both fixed and automatic running boards on many prior trucks, and we wanted/needed them due to the truck's entry height, but with the CT's crouching Entry mode, even my height-impaired wife has no issue boarding the truck, and sees these devices as modalities for getting her pants/skirts dirty.

I've been waiting for these

Looks very promising.

They're powder coated so not exactly slick like on my old chrome f250. I would say they have the same texture as the plastic trim. Some of the photos were actually taken on a rainy day. I didn't notice any slippage trying to get in or out.

It would be nice to have a handle on the inside of the truck for climbing in or out when you're not an entry mode for the passengers.
