I like any slider that does not require me to drill holes in the tub. They are not bad, but don't jump out at me...but they do look nice.

Try Red Rock Fab or LOD. I think the price is close. As of now, they are my favorite and don't require drilling.

I have the RRC Side Armor Guards and love them.... You will have some clearance issues in tight situations..... but they are great for keeping you away from the rocks..

I love mine, they are great for stepping up into the jeep, as was already said they probably could hurt somewhat in a tight situation as they hang a little lower than most and stick out a little more, but I wouldn't trade mine. They are like a 5 minute install and require no modification to the jeep.

These show up as NEW on the RR website. It looks like they are tighter to the body, and would offer a little more clearance.

I've got the Rubi rails on mine now, but have been looking at Shrockworks, LOD, but I'm thinking about going with the RR.

Not a problem, glad I could help - just do me a favor and post some pics when you get them! I have seen them on a TJ, and they looked great - just want to see them on a JK before I pull the trigger. The pics on the RR and Quadratech sites don't show how close to the body they are just under the doors.

Thanks

They are alright but not what I would choose for myself. I would rather have a slider that bolts to the frame instead of the body. The frame is much stronger than the body. Myself I bought the LOD sliders today from Northridge 4X4. I know some people don't like drilling holes and threading the holes after your done drilling, but I've done lots of mods myself so really this is no big deal to me. I feel that these sliders will be very strong and I like the looks and they have steps. I rather spend the extra money and get the frame mounted one's. I will say I do like the 2" tubes where as LOD uses 1 3/4" tubes LODs. I don't like the width thing too,think they would look better tucked in some. But when it comes right down too it,you have too make your own choice and how much protection you really need with the four wheeling you do. Anything is better than stock!!!!!!
