Is the pinch weld still useable to jack the car up?

More or less for the looks, I think it completes the look. One benefit is i can open the doors and stand on them to reach and to clean the front window and the top.

See attached picture of the brackets, there are 3 of them that bolt up to OEM holes. not sure you can jack the car up from pinch weld, I use a car hoist in my shop.

Thanks for photographs. Most likely the brackets cover the jack points.

Just checked my 2021 and I do see the factory three bolt holes. Looks like the original jack points are still open after you install the brackets. Did you have to drill through the plastic trim for the bolts?
Do these feel sturdy when you stand on them?
Asking for a 210 pounder.
thanks for all the information

No drilling, you slip a ps of flat stock (that is provided) that has two threaded holes between the pinch weld and plastic for the two bolts, Very sturdy. I'm 190lb and i jumped up and down on them after install. those steel brackets and alum boards are heavy duty. The pictures i posted suck, much better looking in person.

You need to trim factory flaps to make work, i use the front flaps that came with the boards.

They look nice!
Interesting how the red explorer in the image for the first pic and the video has what looks like the 18" steel wheels and the Perf. brakes (red calipers) I guess they fit
