I know bugger all about welding and metalwork but these look pretty good. Nice powder coat by the looks of it too.
A question for those who have them. Looks like the trim pieces include 2 for each side. They taper slightly. I assumed trim piece was just one piece. Is this a change or same as always?
Looks like a change from mine. A VERY positive change. Installing that one long piece was a HUGE pita (and I don't mean the bread). I would have LOVED to have had that option. My only pro tip on it is you will definitely need to figure which side is which beforehand (unless they marked it better) so that you know where to put the rivnuts. I had to redo the first side which was not just a pita but more holes to drill in my nice expensive Defender.
EDIT: Oops. I had the Rhino. Skimmed and didn't see you have the Voyager. So, my comment re: what "was" isn't correct, but the rest likely is!

No worries mate. I always value your input. Voyager let me know the two trim pieces (per side) has always been their method. I guess having only seen the LK8 video install I assumed there were more similarities than actually are present.
Take it from me, after installing a 1-piece version - you have it good! I'm sure there will be some seam in the middle that some will dislike, but the ease in installation would be WAY better from my 2 cents. Good luck and post ****, I mean pics of it when you are done.
Got some info on use of the OEM rocker trim pieces with the Voyager sliders. Looks great. I'll likely try to do the same. Bag of replacement clips needed.
Not sure if the helpful owner is on here.
Also a little AL piece that instructions apparently say to remove was adjusted by him.
My installed said no drilling. However, if I remember correctly, there was a tool that put an insert for the bolts to go in the existing holes. I am sure my Landy shop would answer if you had a question. The owners are great. Dave at Rovers Elite in Thousand Oaks.

No drilling is correct but Rivnuts are used for the Voyager trim piece install. The reuse of OEM trim looks more factory. It was one of the things I liked about the Tuffants before the price became too $picy.
