People want that factory tail get air deflector. Dunno why.

Anything could be armor, but I would not expect the smitty built tube steps to be actual sliders. Minor protection against a rock hitting your rocker panels, yeah, but they seem too far out to even do much there.

Both Steve and I wheeled McGrew with nothing. I took no damage, he only took a couple of very minor dings, and he did *MUCH* more difficult lines than I. (He also has ~3" more clearance than I do, thanks to his 33's and ~2" lift.)

I would probably wheel without before using the smitty built steps.
