Possibly the worst investment i have ever bought on the jeep
I thought they would be very easy to bolt up
and i thought they could be used as rock sliders since they are called side armor
WELL i was deffienently wrong on everything. They fit great in the back but when it came to the front mounts issues started to come about as the holes would not line up. I am going to have to drive out 2 holes in it to make them bolt on properly.
Also i used a HI_LIFT on them and it was a joke.
The side picked up and started to bed closer and closer to my jeep until it hit the side of my jeep. I mean is this a joke
I was just going to say they do look good but are pointless to me now.

That sucks. Nice product/quality control. Thanks for sharing and saving the rest of us!

 

Let us see the evidence. Curious to see.

 

i would upload pictures if i could ever figure it out

 

x2, was just about to buy some, now im looking for other goodies to spend my money on

 

You actually thought Smittybilt made quality, strong products? You might want to do a little more research before you waste more money.

 

I have been meaning to post the results of my bolt up this past week on my Smittybilt Rocker Guards. First let me say I ordered them because I thought they looked good, were cheap and offered some basic protection. I did not need heavy duty rocker armor nor did I want to add a lot of weight to my jeep. FYI...Each side weighed 45lbs. My bolt up took 1.5 hours by myself. Most of that time was spent just trying to figure out how to do the job by myself. I used jack stands to hold one end up while I bolted the other. My impression of the product was overall very good. The only negative was they were also a little long about an 1/8" on both sides..maybe a little less. I figured out that I needed to attach the rear end loosely and then work on the front. Once it was all lined up I hit it once or twice with a shot filled rubber mallet and it laid right in. Not a problem once I got the routine down. I would order the product again and would recommend them. Finally I do love the way they look.

 

Beyond this one product - someone needs to put a comprehensive list of manufacturers that are based and BUILT in the USA. I am not knowledgable to do it myself or I would.....let's put something together and have it as a sticky for everyone to see!!

 

Ask and you shall receive! Robar had responded to my request for this!
