ive been looking for quarter panel armor for the 2 door jk . I haven't found anything that has the rub rail too. it looks like OR-FAB used to make their own, but I don't believe they're around anymore,

ID:	668827 These are the genright/aev corners. Do not have the rub rail but the fitment is great. I do not have an installed pic as I am waiting for them to get finished at the painters. Btw these are for a 4 door but they have the 2 door available.

If you are stuck on a rub rail then go with a quality corner and have a shop weld a rail on there for you. Have you looked into the Metalcloak product? I think they've got a flare that incorporates a corner to up the strength.

Or-fab got a raw deal a while back so they're on hold for now.

Crawler concepts with welded on flare! Fit is really good this flare is tough as shit!

I agree with Karls10jk......if you're dead set on a rail, buy a quality corner and have a shop put a couple bends in a tube and weld it on before powder coating. You'd have some additional cost, but end up with a unique corner that you don't see everywhere. Outside of looks, I haven't found myself in a situation yet were a rail on the corner would have made a difference.

thanks for the info everyone. Ill have to get one welded on then. I wheel in tight areas , with a hardtop on maybe it would save the window, at least that's my thought

Looks like you might still have the stock fender flares on. Any plans to upgrade those to metal? Those fender flares are going to hit something before a bar on a crusher corner would contact it.
