Default Opinions on these custom eBay tube sliders?

Just wondering if anyone has or knows anyone who has used these:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/110537713708...84.m1423.l2649

Do they seem quality? I like the idea of the upgrade options for strength and the option to get it rhino lined. For this price point, including shipping, do I have better options? I'm only planning a 2 inch lift and maybe 30" tires so I won't be doing anything extreme. I just want something that will function as both a step as well as protection.

Made with 1.25" Schedule 40 pipe (1.66 OD and 1.38 ID, 0.14" wall). This tubing is rated for moderate impacts from trail obstacles. See options for Upgraded options for extreme use.

is some pretty thin poop pipe for sliders. hit a rock and have the weight of the cherokee on the slider will bend/dent it.

just my thoughts.

I might go for JCR stage 2s if I can get them for 300 shipped. I'm gonna give them a call. Do the JCRs come coated or painted or are they bare metal?

I don't like the open ends on it,Reason i say that if it gets full of dirt and junk it will start to rust out over time.

I'd pass on those you can get much better sliders for not much more money !

I had paid $190 for my Rigid Fabrication Sliders on my XJ an I didn't loose any clearance since the lowest point on the slider is flush with the bottom of the pinch seam !
