Yeah feel free to call me, I'll be glad to help if I can. Ask me how well they fly across a garage!
I had to call Rubimon myself a few times during the install. Piginajeep called me during his. I think its pretty standard for you to lose some hair during the install, but once done I haven't heard anyone be disappointed. They are quite amazingly well built sliders. I've put mine to the test a few times and they performed well.

First: Thanks for all the advice.
Second: It is nice to know that I am not the only one that had problems.
Third: You are all absolutely right, they are a great product and worth the trouble!!

I love my PJ sliders but those nutserts are total crap. I rigged mine with some JB Weld and they are holding up but I think I'll take a look at the local hardware store for the rubber ones mentioned.

Rocker Guards -4 Door Model
I love my PJ Rocker Guards - yes, I saw the instruction 
-wow lot of works so I decide to took my jeep to Jeep Shop and they said it will take them (2 guys) about 3 hours but wrong - end up 6 hours with professional 2 guys - they said WOW - lot of work - drill many holes, make sure right position, etc… but come out beautiful and solid - they said this design is best ever they seen. 
Yes, I know big ouch $$$ but they did right job first place.

You may be able to do them yourself but an extra pair of hands would be recommended, at least for the first side. Once you do one the second one will go faster and you'll know if you can release your friend.
Paying 2 guys for six hours could get pricey but it is a reasonable amount of time for their first time around. Once they are on, you really have no way of knowing if they screwed up along the way. But as long as they look great in the end, it really doesn't matter.

ty paid for 6 hours of install time on his two door rockers. @ $80 an hr? I cant remember. Just get two jack stands for the 4 door and a friend to help. It really isnt bad, it just takes alot of time.
the nutzerts part is not the strength of the rockers, its merely to hold the plate into the body, the crush sleeve is where all the strength comes from.
I helped install a set on 4wd's red JK, we had no issues with the nutzerts on his. Mine was a little harder, I think I made the holes a little big with the shitty drill bit. If you made the hole a little bigger than 1/2" thats going to be your issue.
btw if you call PJ on the 11th, they are closed on saturday.
