I got the 3rd Gen. The wire harness is more simplified; no need to go through the firewall on the driver side and the control boxes are inside the sliders. I am planning on getting the armor plates later this year.I have the gen 2 of these RSEs with armor. My mother and girlfriend love them ! They are worth the coin... I assume you got the new version gen 3. Gen 3 has some nice upgrades from gen 2. I cannot tell from the pics if you got the optional armor ? If you plan to use the sliders against rocks and boulders, make sure you get the armor. It is easy to install, you just rivet the armor on after the initial install. With the armor the steps cannot dent, they are really bullet proof. Without the armor, I have seen on you tube, these sliders bend against a huge hit and affect the operation of the steps. With the armor, I took some good hits at the Big Bear badge of honor trails and just got scratches, no dents -- with a little black touch up paint from RSE, you cannot even tell. Also, the armor can be easily removed, smoothed, and re-powder coated.
