    The green lights are from the camera on my iPhone.

    I think the Pro does have a black valence. I have an Off Road with the X Series package.

    OK ! When I 1st bought my 22018 TRD OR I thought the ORP stood for Off Road Package, that why I asked about the valance on yours. What's in the "X Series" Package?? Never hear of that one before??

    The X Series is offered in the south east. The one I have does not have the Pro grill but came with many of the pro trim pieces.

    They look nice and I do appreciate aluminum TIG and craftsmanship (I grew up welding a lot of it in Dad's shop). However, I'd really hesitate using them as anything other than side steps. I think you can get away with using aluminum skids in medium duty applications, as they are bolted directly to the pieces they are protecting. But sliders are like outriggers on the sides of the frame, and because of that they need to take extreme amounts of leveraged force in order to do their job. Even Greenlane says: "*Will protect vehicle from rocker/door damage but not designed to be used as a high lift jack point." That means they'll bend if all or most of the vehicle weight is bearing on them, which is 90% of a slider's job (the other is preventing door dings in mall parking lots).

    Also, steel will actually "slide" better than aluminum. Aluminum is stickier and will gall up in bunches, which can arrest forward movement. Steel is tougher and will scrape/slide much easier. That's why Hefty Fab offers HDPE (high density polyethylene) add-ons for their aluminum skids for heavier duty use.

    Ordered mine on the 13th through paypal, still no tracking # I really don't like AJT as a company due to the arrogance of the owner and terrible customer service in general but couldn't beat the price.

    EDIT: Got a tracking # after asking, my order was missed. While I have a tracking # it is not in the USPS system as of yet. Again, far from impressed with AJT as a whole.

    I should have told you I ordered one for you as well lol! They came today.
    So I went from the original chrome to this blue decal which was better but not exactly what I wanted. I ordered the AJT in cement thinking it was darker than what it was and would be a little different from just black. I do not like the cement so I gave it a few coats with semi-gloss black. I like it now.DSCN5501.jpg DSCN5502.jpg DSCN5503.jpg

    My AJT Steering Wheel Emblem Overlay also arrived Today. Definitely complements the wheel. Went and ordered the AJT Climate Control Knobs in Black, with Black Screws.

    How was it at towing and how far did you go? In probably a month or so I'll be using that same trailer to tow a 1948 Willys from NY to North Carolina.

    Thanks for the tips guys! I had no idea someone else was making a similar item. An eBay coupon made this $14 shipped! No brainer.

    I actually bought it over 20 years ago. I wanted to rebuild a Willys for years and little did I know that the father of one of my son's friends had one in his garage about 5 blocks away from me. We made a deal and I got it. Pretty much what it looks like now.DSCN5231.jpg
