EVBASE -Armor panels

[@Andoo117]

Has anyone actually received the armor panels from EVBASE yet? I ordered (on a laptop) and paid a month ago, received the running boards but the armor panels never showed up. EVBASE told me they were out of stock and would send them as soon as they had some in June. Just wondering if anyone has actually received them yet.

BlackOpal certainly has not received his...

EV Base seems sketchy at best. Make sure you file a chargeback with your CC before 90 days from time of placing the order if needed.

Pretty obvious it’s another outfit that hails from across the pacific. Make the cognitive connection with current pissing contest on global trade. West coast ports observing at least 40% drop in ship traffic. 1 + 1 ?

Hello friend

May I know your order number? Are you own R1S?

Order #46457. I totally trust that you (EVBASE) will send them once in stock and I am fully satisfied with the customer service to date. I would like to know if anyone has received them yet because the next question is were they easy to install. My issue for wanting the armor panels soon is I'm waiting to install the steps, why am i waiting? I don't want to cut the factory panels... why? because i can sell the factory panels on ebay. Main reason is i need the steps installed to help my kids/mom in and out of the vehicle. Yes, gen 2 R1S.

I understood this reference.

Still seems shady. They market them as rock sliders and "armor" but can't support the weight of the vehicle and made from plastic parts. What am I missing?

@HaveBlue did you read the desc online?

“8. What is the purpose of rocker armors?
Protect the chassis against mud, rain, and debris damage, and reduce road noise.”

also can you answer the original question? Did you receive yours if ordered. That’s all I want to know.

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.

Yes I read it, as you see I posted sections which brought up the confusion. I did not order them because, despite the wording, they are not for the application I need. I believe the author of the website does not have an adequate command of English or understanding. Rock slider, Rock armor, rocker panel are different things. The product is not a rock slider however it may be a perfect light weight running board for vehicle access. If that is what people are buying them for, I say go for it. Off road, though, it may actually cause more damage than protection. I say this based on decades of 4wheeling and seeing vehicles on the trail with running boards. Better to take them off entirely in those situations.

I'm curious to see the panels myself. Like in person

If anyone received these and have installed them:

What was the install like, did it require taking out multiple big bolts to mount them?

How is the fit and finish of these panels? Do you think it was worth putting on?

Did they provide covers to where the jack puck hole is?

 

[@Andoo117]

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.
