Got mine for $275 from Quadratec (including shipping)...ordered them Monday night, got them yesterday afternoon and installed them last night. I think the same model for the Unlimited would be an extra $10.

Had to file a little bit to get them to fit, but they sit perfect. I know others had similar problems.

Anyone pull the yellow Smittybilt badges off theirs? Is there any glue residue etc...?

I had my eye on the Rugged Ridge ones...but they look like the sit a lot lower and will reduce clearance.

Opinions?

I ordered SRC's also due to price, looks and what people have said about them working. Yes there are probably better products out there but at over twice the price doing the same job. Only long term time in the driver seat will tell, but at this price you could always upgrade if they don't last/perform as expected. The Rugged Ridge ones sit too low for my taste. Looks like they could hang you up on a break-over angle.

The Rugged Ridge rockers cut away too much ground clearance, your more likely to get hung up on something now! I went with the best of the best, PureJeep rockers and couldnt be happier with them

Can someone post a pic of those Smitty and RRC ones from underneath...I want to see how much (if any) clearance you lose.


thanks,

thanks,
hey matador!
no real reason to share undercarriage pics. they mount up in the same holes as the factory running board. there are absolutely zero clearance issues on these that already weren't present. in fact, the mounts on the rails (the more robust of the mounting points) actually gets recessed directly in the factory mounting points. there are no exposed areas to be hung up on. again, this is one of the cheapest options in rocker guards but also meets any of the claims. for under $300 i don't think there is a better option other than some used rubi rails. + on the smitty side, these come up to under the door sill, added protection for the actual rocker panel.
revo!

Mine's the white one off to the right. May be a bit hard to see, but it's the best I have at the moment. You should be able to see the clearance though...no issue at all.
