The Shrockworks rock sliders are very heavy duty and can take a beating. I don't think you can go wrong with this choice but you may have to wait a few weeks for delivery.

I have the shrockworks and they are very rugged, bolted to the frame (bottom and side). You can jack the side of the Jeep, both wheels off ground and the sliders dont budge. In my opinion you can't go wrong with them. Can't speak about the Olympic. Justr know the Shrowckworks are pretty tough.

I have the olympic x-treme double sliders, they protect the body good but the finish on them sucks, had them about 12 months and they are very rusty.

I would consider the Shrockworks, LoD, or ARB sliders if you are looking for good frame mounted sliders. JMO.

I helped install a set of Shrocks and they are some heavy duty quality sliders. Also have seen them in action, much stronger than factory rails. Don't know about the Olympics, never seen them in person.

We have installed a lot of the sliders out there and I have tested the Shrockworks Sliders on the trails and they WORK GREAT...put a little black sand paper tape on them and they make a good step

I am a Stocking dealer for Shrockworks and I have the 4-door sliders in stock now.

Shot me a ZIP and I will send you a quote on shipping.

I didnt want to forget about that either...the finish on the Olympics is shitty. Mine do have rust and bubbling powder coating as well but have been running them for over 2 years. They are stout but are going to need refinished soon....
