Default Olympic A/T sliders

I NEED sliders... my factory steps are shot, I have HighRocks on order... I found these on Quadratec's site, they look great to me, looks like theyll provide some side protection in the parking lots and should work like a slider on the small rocks I attempt to crawl over with my non lifted JK..



Anyone have, or know anything about them? They are not the reversa bars, but look like the MOPAR enhanced rock rails. Thanks.

I just got them today from Quadratec. Will be putting them on tomorrow. What do you mean by they cannot be used as a step? Also, I presume that the Rubi stock rails have to come off to mount these? And, did yours come with two rubber strips (3" wide by 4 feet long each)? Are these to put between the slider and the body/paint?

I paid a total of I think $459 shipped to my door from Quadratec.

I can definetly take pictures of them and post them when I install tomorrow.. Pretty excited for them. Looks like they hide the pinch seam very well

The instructions that came with these rails are horrible. Does anyone know if the rubber strips that were in the box just go between the rails and the body?

I ordered these rails too but I won't be putting them on. The way they attach seems kind of weak to me. They attach to the pinch seam and then they hook on to the bottom of the door frame. Thus the entire weight is only supported by the body if the Jeep. There is no way to tie into the frame for strength.

they are crap, they rub all 4 of my doors, dont order them, I will be returning them today.

how they look in the pictures, pretty good IMO


but wait.. they arent quite done being installed yet, also need to install brackets that wrap around the door sill.. OKAY, odd, But I will give it a try.. NOT HAPPENING, they rub my doors.

well, I was just trying to install mine and I couldn't figure out how the door brackets mount..doesn't make sense to me that they would go over the door sils as they would rub against the door. Are you sure that is how they are supposed to go? Do you have any other pictures? If so, I am also returning these!!
