Just got these delivered today. Great first impressions. Great welds. I think I will raptor line these, open to suggestions though. I will post again when I get them coated and installed.

I have been thinking about getting these. Do you know how much they weigh? I couldn't find that on their website...

Cheers,

Those look really good. Love the wrap around frame mounts and that angled piece up front.

Cool - thanks! That's co-incidentally what I had estimated in my payload doc ha

Here are mine. Currently got 2 layers of primer on, next step is top coat and then mounting.

Altogether HMF has made a great impression and was very good about communicating during the fabrication process. We'll see how everything lines up when I get them on the truck!

Glad yall like them! Mine should be in this week! I think I'm going to Raptor coat them

Here's my update, finally had some time and dry weather to put them on. Looks very good and not too hard to get on the truck. I'm pretty confident they'll hold up on the trail.

I had Westin nerf bars on my 05 F150 FX4 that turned out to be great rock sliders on a few occasions but not for everyday use.

Got the sliders installed, not very difficult. I did end up drilling the two optional holes on the passenger side. I did not install this small bolt on the driver side, just because to me it seems like it has potential to rub through the body harness. I used raptor bed liner for top coat. Its not as patchy as it looks in the pic, it was just being handled with dirty hands. I'll snap some more pics in a nicer setting. Overall very satisfied, we will see how they hold up off road.

Very nice sliders! Similiar to Rock Road Outfitters I have which are very stout.

So they don't seem to offer these finished at all huh?

There is an option to powder coat.

There is an option to powder coat.

How to choose that option?

Their website only lists dimple plate ($300), DOM tubing ($60), and weld it yourself (-$300), as options.

Ah, It was an option when I ordered mine. Send them an email or call.
