I have the reversi-bars and they seem pretty good. The only disappointment I had was that on my rig they hit the factory rock rails. I contacted them and they did not give a crap. So I ended up correcting the problem myself with a MORE 1" BL. My wife is only 5' tall and she loves these bars, they make it easy for her to get in and take off with my JK. If I would have put on solid bars I would get to drive the Rubi more often. 
Anyone with chrome pics???

I found this post with a little more info: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...t=16175&page=3
I think KMHENRY77 has a valid point with it hitting the rock rail!
Any comments? Has Olympic 4x4 Products changed the mounting setup???

"Two reinforcement plates go on the inside of the frame on each side" last sentence on step 2
Did you forget the ones between the mount and the frame? I did! Luckily I had not yet tightened everything up when I figured it out on the first one!
The instructions could be better, like maybe referring each photo to which procedure.
I like my little rails so far!

As for durability, I ran my JK over an iced-over mid pit that's about 18" deep. I went through the 2" ice no problem, and had no issues with the ice coming back under the jeep. The rails don't take me too long to switch, just two bolts on each side and carry them around the vehicle. If you're looking at SERIOUS rocks, I'd still look to a sturdier version, like the Shrockworks... I'm not doing serious rocking, so I'm not too worried...

Anyone know if it matters which bolt holes you use for the ReversaBars? I installed using the first set (which seems to work better as steps) but I'm thinking it be sturdier if they were in more?

I put mine on a while ago and have not regretted any of it. I have hit the trails, and have heard them scrape a couple of times already. Man I am glad I got them. Easy install (once the instructions are understood -they suck).
In my 'my.project-jk' gallery I have some pictures of the washers and the mount, in case anyone wants to see them mounted.
I do not think it will be that hard to turn them up, it was a fairly quick install. They do not hit anything (other than rock
).
