Had a small chip in the powder coat right out of the box, but a little black paint fixed it. Fitment itself was spot on.
Build quality is noticeably better than the OEM equivalent. Shipping took longer than expected but customer service answered my question quickly enough.
Picked this up before a rocky weekend run. Took a couple of hard hits and the transfer case stayed happy. One bolt hole needed slight coaxing but nothing crazy.
Bolted right up on my 2004 Cayenne with zero hassle. Peace of mind on the trail is priceless.
Fits the Cayenne perfectly and the steel is thick. Took almost three weeks to arrive, which was frustrating, but worth the wait.
