You have a valid point there about the boxed section & its got me looking real close at them both. The JCR are 2x2" & the Body Armor are 2x3" So that would account for more weight there. The tube part though is 1.75 on the JCR & 1.5 on the body armor so that would lean it the other way. Zooming in on the pics it also appears that the BA 2x3 may just be at the rear end & closer to the 2x2 for the majority of it. And the parts of flat stock that are visible look to be fairly substantial, but no way to tell if that carriers through or if its just the mounting flanges that are that thickness.. I'm interested now though so I may go ahead & just drill a hole in the bottom of one of the box sections just to get a measurement & then weld it back up. In the end for what I feel that I need I honestly think I could of gotten away with the standard nerf bars and been good so your right they seem like they will be perfect for my use.Possibly. The "box" part looks bigger, so it might account for more material. I'm always super suspicious when they don't give you material thickness. But for what you said you want them to do, they seem perfect. And half the price of most others.
Edit: I just looked at the same steps for other jeeps & its listed as 3/16". I wouldnt think they would downsize for the longest ones.
