EVBASE -Armor panels

[@Andoo117]

I ordered some along with running boards early March and never received them. I did receive the running boards. At the time their website stated that they would be shipping March 15th. That didn't happen. When I sent a followup the stated that they would be shipping in June. I requested a refund and they have said that they are initiating the refund process. I will post back with whether or not that actually happens. On a brighter note, the running boards look great.

Did you feel the running boards fit well? I had to put spacers on bracket numbers 2,3 so the door could clear the steps. 1/4” on three and 2 washers on 2.

After months I did receive them. After sending custom clearence papers to FedEx and working with EVBASE to get them to me, wow they finally came. The fit and finish is excellent aside from a couple of issues. The jack point caps you just take from the OEM ones. These armor panels look and feel great. I can attach pictures if you like. The problem in my mind was again two fold. First, as jjrivian inquired about the bolts, yeah too many of the big bolts had to come out. Taking the bolts out isn’t the problem. I felt torquing them on to proper spec was going to break the plastic. And I didn’t want to really remove properly torqued screws, at least you hope they were factory torqued correctly. Second issue was when you pull the factory panel that panel edge pinches the door guard tight along the edge of the vehicle. I didn’t feel the armor panels pinches it the same way. So I asked for a refund and EVBASE refunded me. Really nice people.

Thanks for your feedback on this! I would love to see some pictures if you have any. I like the idea of not having to cut the factory panels and don’t mind removing all the bolts.

When you mentioned the armor panel didn’t pinch as well as OEM, did you see this being an issue of it flapping or falling off at some point?

Mine fit very well and didn't require any spacers.

I hope you meant pictures of the panels. They are exactly the same as what is pictured online. Nice feel and weight, similar to OEM panels, jack points remain intact.

Hi
I am trying to install these panels but for the love of god, there seem to be gaps. Tried reaching Evbase and hope they will help troubleshoot. The problem I have is that they do not pinch anywhere on the outer side and are a bit flappy. Will definitely make noise if I drive like this. Do you have pictures with it installed?

I never got around installing mines. That’s definitely not good.
