Rubi rails
 
Just picked up a 2 door 2017 the other day and hate how unfinished it looks without rails. Planning on maybe buying these soon, anyone have any experience with them? I'm not looking to go rock crawling , just some smaller trails so I don't need too much protection just enough for the pinch seam.

If you were in northern CA I'd sell you my rubi sliders for $150. The basic ones, not with the additional bar.

Ended up coming across these online and love how they look. Little more than what I wanted to spend but I'd rather just spend the money and get better ones than cheap out and realize I want different ones down the road.

I have the rubi rails on my 4 door. They've served their purpose but if I were to do it again I would have gone a different route. The finish on them isn't great and after a couple years rust is showing in "non wear" areas. The worst is directly behind my front tires. Doesn't take much to chip the coating and there is heavy rust in those areas.

I personally would not use those due to their mounts - mounting to the body and frame, the body is designed to flex on the frame, so linking them doesn't seem like the best idea. You could get some rubi rail take-offs on clist for pretty cheap. Since you don't plan on rock crawling, you body mount isn't a big deal, I'd just avoid both, personally.
