4 door Rubi Rails on 2 door?
Has anybody modified some stock 4 door Rubi rails to fit their 2 door? The 4 door rails seem to be more plentiful used. I don't know when I'll be able to get some (money), but if I come across a 4 door pair, I'd like to know if I could use them on my 2 door. Any suggestions, pics appreciated. Thanks!

if you have a welder or know a good one, you can pretty much mod anything to make it work. It would just depend on how good of a deal you could get on the 4dr one.....right?

i was actually researching this myself a couple weeks ago...
from what I read through searching and sending out pm's is that the rails are exactly the same just the 4-dr is longer and has an extra bracket for support.
So 4 door rails can be cut and mounted onto a 2dr. You will probably have to cut the rail anyway to make clearance for a bigger tire so instead of trimming a little bit (if you had 2dr rails) you will need to cut off the extra length from the 4dr. Just make sure you measure twice
