Poison Spyder Crusher Corners (steel)





Installed it last summer so right at a year old. Only thing I might consider changing would be getting the aluminum version to save weight. But.....it's a Jeep....not a race car. So it's not that big of a deal. They fit nice and tight and pretty darn perfect! PSC really knew what they were doing with these. Expensive? Yeah. Worth it? Absolutely!!!

Install was a bit tedious and time-consuming, but well worth it in the end. Anything you get that has rivnuts/nutserts.....do yourself a favor and buy a Murchison (sp?) installation tool. Makes installing the nutserts really easy and lessens the chances of spinning one. Also, take your time drilling the holes for the nutserts. You don't want them too big and you definitely don't want any burrs in them. We used a stepped bit on mine, but an anular bit is suggested.

This is the only picture I have for now. I can post more later. I also have the PSC corners and went with color matched paint.

I have one complaint about the panels themselves. The drivers side panel is not straight across the top. Has a dip to it. When my soft top was off, I didn't notice the fact that the top line was not straight. But all put back together, it was very obvious. Just wish it had been manufactured a little better but it was too late to do anything about it when I noticed. Other than that, fitment is great.

My other complaint was on the install. I let someone else do it and I regret that because they didn't take their time and my nutserts are all messed up.

But in general I'm very happy with the panels.

They were made from two pieces that are welded together. Now the 4 door corners are stamped from one piece. Sounds like the guy putting yours together wasn't paying attention.

Psc as as well. Install was done by myself in a few hours. Ridiculously easy as a result of the fit being perfect.

Yep. I know why the dip was there. One side was perfect and the other wasn't. Is what it is. It's subtle but enough to annoy me.

Like the hitch in your BFH rear bumper, man! Corners looks awesome, too! Can't say mine were an easy install, as I ended up having to weld a piece of steel in the tub on the passenger rear because we screwed something up. All in all, though, it wasn't nearly as bad as I'd originally expected, especially with that Murchison nutsert tool.

Metalcloak Exo Corners. I've had them about a year now. Water got into the back of the driver side taillight and some of the LEDs went out, so they replaced it and sealed the back of the new light.
