Default Shrockworks vs. OR-FAB?

Anyone have experience with or-fab rocker protectors?

http://www.tellico4x4.com/product_in...ducts_id/28792

I know Shrockworks have the rep for being the best and I'm considering them. These just looked appealing on price but you probably get what you pay for. I know these aren't frame-mounted but I drive gravel roads daily and and do mild to moderate 4 wheeling in addition (generally not many rocks). Looked like these might be better paint/flare protectors for my needs?

thanks!

Also (and I'm definitely not a professional judge of these things), don't the welds in that picture look terrible? I would think they'd pick the best one for the product shot, so it doesn't seem like that bodes well for the rest of 'em...

just looked at the picture agian and those are quite possibly the worst looking welds I have every seen (maybe its just the picture??). I think the very first time I tried welding mine looked better than that. I can vouch for shrockworks tho, they're welds look very proffesional.

I missed the fact that they're actually MORE than Shrockworks. Also good point on the welds! Thanks for the feedback!
