PNW Broncos - Upper quarter panel guards..

[Tram]

Anyone out there using these?

I've got some bolt holes that are ugly and some top post holes that need work on a trail rig.

Thinking about just throwing some of these over them and adding some protection at the same time.

I’ve got them, added protection from the door opening to the taillights, most self fabricated. Sorry about pic, isn’t like that in file.

I just bought a set. Fast shipping, very stout. I am somewhat disappointed in the fit of these on my bronco, nothing like the pic on their website. I bought my bronco a couple of months ago. It already had the tail light and rear guards on it (which fit great to the contour of the body). The Q guards do not match up well when butted up to the rear. The contour of the two are different. The top part that sits on the bed rail are a few degrees off angling up so they don't sit flat on the bed rail (Like in the pics on their website). That part was not a big issue for me because whoever installed the rear guards trimmed the top part that sits on the bed rail back so the hard top sits flat on the bed rail without the gap of the rear guard thickness. I trimmed 2 1/4 inches off the top of the Q guards to match the trimmed part of the rear guards, again for the purpose of allowing the hardtop to sit flat on the original bed rail when the hard top is on the bronco. The gap between the contour of the Q guards and the body near the door opening can easily be filled in with a filler, but the mismatch where the Q guard and rear guard meet will most likely need to be grinded flush to each other to look decent.

The fit is workable except for the top where I mentioned it is a few degrees off angling up. There is no way you are going to get that angle right yourself due to the thickness of the metal.

Shipping on these was $125 so maybe a call to the company to see if they will send you a paid return shipping label if that angle is so far off (like mine) that they are not workable for your application.

I would have appreciated to opportunity to remedy the situation prior to seeing a public post about it. Why didn't you reach out?

 

[Sam 15]

I didn't reach out for the following reason(s). As with most bolt on aftermarket, and some oem, product, the fit must be worked to get a better/acceptable fit. I don't know where the tail guards that were already on my bronco were purchased or if they were even your tail guard product (Maybe I could have been a little clearer on that in my post). That being said, with the exception of the top portion being a few degrees off, which were getting cut off even if it was on the money, I can not expect you to be responsible for your product not matching up perfectly with the unknown manufacturer product.

As I said, the fit was workable with what was already on my bronco, (with the 2 1/4 of the top cut off) so that's what did. The original poster asked for opinions on your product and I gave my honest opinion with my experience on how they fit on my bronco. Again, with the exception of the top portion, which was cut off, I am okay with what will be the final finish.

I couldn't see paying $125 to ship them back to you to possibly get another set that may have had the same fit.

You still got high marks for "Fast shipping and very stout."
