Default anyone have these ? Rock Rails only $199

Has anyone bought and fitted these pls ? 4-door JK rock rails from JC Whitney, ref # FBA328232E 'Rock crawer Side Armour' Cost is only $199 per pair !! http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Search?catalogId=10101&storeId=10101&sku=FBA328232 E

Wondering how they attach and how solid they are ? The price is great but is the quality also ??

JCW website gives very little detail : Armor protects side panels from both on and off-road debris ; Textured black for that tough off-road look

I think those are the smittybilt ones? If so they do not have frame mount rails. I called them before ordering the AtoZ rails. But $#@% the price is hard to refuse and it's about time the competition battle started. The pricing is NUTS for some of these mods.

they look a lot like my RRC side armor. it mounts with the body mount bolts, front and rear.
RRC seems pretty strong, not sure about these without seeing in person

Not sure if they are the Smittybuilt ones, but they have a $65 "heavy item surcharge" associated with them from jcwhitney.

I see you have the RRC side armor? How do you like those? And where exactly is the body mount bolts? Thanks.

Thanks guys, you're right about JC's $65 'heavy item fee', so I'll bite on the Smittybilt ones as can support and order through a JK forum sponser - but firstly, does anyone know how and where they attach ?
