    Look good Jo. But...it's going to be a beeeeeatch to sand the surface rust and paint them. Doesn't look like a lot of room to work on the tops (might just be the camera angle). I would just use flat rustoleum...they are going to get scratched...easy and cheap to repaint.

    looks great jo. They look identical to the ones i built on the Runner, except with some 'prettier' welds

    I am running into the issue now that they have been on there for about a year and i am getting some rust on he upper side thats right near the body of the car, now i cant remove them to touch them up. Im going to have to come up with a way to get them off.....OR, even better yet, a 3" body lift would help me access them

    ...paint stick wrapped in sandpaper gets "up & in there", and a sanding sponge works well as Dub says.

    And hey, if I make 'em look prettier than me, they'll still be UGLY!

    dubski, if you can efficiently sand mine, i would be a very very impressed guy. they are just about touching the body...

    Plus, if not, this gives me a reason for the 3" body lift and 35's to make sure that i can get in there to paint them

    sand? paint? rust?
    huh?
    those words are alien to me.
    I'll shut up now and go sit in my corner.

    Nice work Jo, they look awesome.
