Default Rugged Ridge Body Armor Kit

Let me tell everyone who is thinking about buying kit # 11651.51 which includes
hood protector and rocker side panels and corner protectors. Do not waste your money. I purchased it from Tellico, which was outstanding service and customer
service. They contacted the manufacturer Rugged Ridge the corners fit like shit.
Gap around the tail lights of 1/4 to 3/8ths of an inch, looks awful on a silver jeep.
The other parts are pretty good. Im done with rugged ridge products. Their " tech"
said to install them around the lights first them stretch and mold them to the body
what a fool, if you can stretch this plastic around the light and gas cap and be at all happy good luck. Thanks for listening to my rant. I have to end by saying thats why Ive not seen a jeep with this part on it.

Hey i have rugged ridge rrc rocker guards and i had a bit of a problem installing them too. I had to die-grind a couple of the holes to get them to fit and still had a hell of a time threading on one of the nuts, there was not much room. Other than that, they are nice and sturdy, and look real good so i can't say that i would dis-credit all their products. Just thought i would put in my 2 cents on this thread. Peace.

I wish they would of made the tail light holes to small I'd be all happy with my purchase. And Tellico sent me 25.00 and it was not their fault.

Better luck next time i guess. Yesterday i ordered two sets of adjustable spare tire isolaters by mistake. But i ordered from Northridge and they said they would fix the order and have only one set sent today. Its a pain ordering online but i guess it's a live and learn thing ha ha.

I have also heard of problems with the fender flares not fitting right. I have them on my jk ad they are fine and for the most part, flush. I guess you might have gotten a bad set. Quality control all the way.

If you are hunting for rugged body armor kit and not able to find a good shop then without wasting too much time you can look for shops like Zfi-Inc.com or armorvest.com who are certified manufacturer of such armor. You can find different level of armor in such shops, however, choose the one that is easy to wear and provide good safety.
