I am VERY pleased with these. The only thing I need to do is paint the three screwheads on the front/underside of the board silver to match the color of the board - or even easier, just replace them completely with stainless steel screws - as the black heads of the included screws stand out too much on this part of the board. Other than that, its a perfect package. I dont plan on standing on these as Im a tall guy and really have no need. But my fiance used them a couple time and there was no movement at all - these things are very sturdy - much more so than I expected!

I know you are all going to hate me but I dont have pics yet. The truck is filthy and I need to paint or replace those screws. But next weekend the summer wheels will be going on and I will have her cleaned up and get some pics up for you guys then!
