Can someone post pictures of the DCE sliders installed but from the bottom / underneath of the vehicle?

I would like to see how the coverage looks and how much of the stock body / frame is exposed once you remove the plastic panels and install sliders.

Thanks in advance.

R1T with reinforced underbody

Have had zero issues with anything collecting in the open extrusion cells that were covered by the plastic that was removed, despite trail runs, submerging, rain, etc.

I found picture of all three using their install videos.

From what I can see, is that the RMaxx has the most replacement coverage/protection in place of the plastic stock panel, which then leads to the least amount of body/frame being exposed.

DCE has the brand reputation, good build quality, and a fair amount of replacement coverage for the plastic stock panel.

Megawatt has the least amount of coverage, but has good build quality and rear tire kick out.

I am hoping for rivian to announce their rock sliders which were patented recently, s00ner rather than later.

Have been out and about on some trails this past month, and have been really happy with the DCE sliders.

Hit and slid on some granite rocks, and they've done just fine doing exactly what they needed to so to protect the truck. Some scratches and scuffs which I'll be touching up with some spray-on bedliner.

Also, took a decent hit on the reinforced underbody protection panel, barely a scratch.

So happy with this truck!

Heading back out on some challenging trails this summer and fall in Moab. You mention the protection panel - was that OEM or something you did aftermarket?
