I have the full system for my 2 dr. Like BuckLisa said, the install is not hard but the directions are not very good at all. You do need to trim part of the stock gas tank skid for the RR's to fit.
Only 'problem' I ran into was a hanger on their gas tank skid had to be bent out about 1/2" or so because it would not fit around the stock piece. Kind of a pia, but I'd imagine it'd be impossible for every install to be the same. Besides that, these things are solid and well made. I went for bare steel, did 3 coats of bedliner then a couple coats of gloss black. Ended up with a semi-gloss/semi-textured finish that has been holding up great even after hearing these things at work on the rocks. In my opinion its the best coverage for the price for those that want to go full skids. The Treks are also really nice, little bit more coverage, but more $$$.

Quick wake-up to the RROR questioning,
I'm looking to order a full set for my 4dr for when I'm in TN in March. What's the lead time / shipping time like? Did you order direct from RROR or from a sponsor?

I have the full system for my unlimited and it is sweet. The directions do suck but it's not tough to figure out. I also have the evap skid. Quality stuff. I got them in bare steel and gave them all two good coats of duplicolor bedliner. Easy to touch up. Lead time was not too bad. They are heavy but they are rock solid.

I just received the full aluminum powdercoated set yesterday, haven't installed yet... It was pretty amazing picking up two boxes at a time and carrying them, they're incredibly light.
I'll post some pics of install and completed once the rain subsides long enough for me to get out there.
