Default olympic side bars review needed

Has anyone seen or installed a Reversa-Bar and/or Adjustable Side Bars, mfg. by Olympic 4x4 Products?

If I'm going to send $400, are these bars made well and will they protect.

Thank for you all's help.

Could you be a little more specific? What kinds of issues are we talking about? I was also considering their rocksliders.

Ive had mine for a couple months now. They are heavy, around 40 lbs. They bolt on pretty easily to the frame. They take about 45 min to install. Ive lifted the whole driver side of the jeep with a hi lift and they did not move at all. They took a couple hard hits 2 weeks ago and the only things is the obvious paint damage from dragging across rocks, they did the job and protected the jeep.

They flex in the middle if you come down on anything. I have a dent on my passanger side rocker panel and a scratch on the drivers side where the slider made contact with the body.

Still better than a door ding in a parking lot, but sucks they are so weak!

Is this because they are not a sponsor??? I've had very good luck with their products. Their TJ stuff was excellent.
