or

Rugged Ridge Rocker Guards for $340
http://www.quadratec.com/products/12052_0232_07.htm



both are slightly used.

Which one should I go with?

bump bump......

id get rugged ridge over the rubicons because ever once in a while you have those moments when your jeep slides off a rock and the side goes crashing into rocks or something like that and i would want them to protect the corner of the body all the way to the door.... just my .02

I came off of a rock a few weeks ago in my stock Rubicon and the right quarter panel in front of the door was deformed from the slider bending up. I am now looking for another alternative.

thanks for the input guys....sounds like the extra money would be worth the investment!

i think it's not a bad price...it's also in CDN funds...i'll try to get em a little cheaper :)

extra money in a situation like this allways has its benefits

I would vote rugged ridge as well. My Rubirails have worked fine but only with a directly flush vertical impacts. If I slide off a rock it will be REALLY bad news. :fingerscrossed:

The rugged ridge ones are nice because they stick out farther, but they won't prevent the rail from hitting the body if you come off a rock too hard, as they still mount to the body, and not to the frame.

If you want the best strength, go with a frame mounted rail.

Yeap I don't wanna chance f'n up the body of the jeep so I'm goin off road evolutions rock sliders, they are welded to the frame, $399 aint a bad price either, although unless u weld, that's gonna cost a few $$ onto the cost of the sliders but I think its well worth it. Also the LoD, shrockworks mount to the frame, they are a little pricey though, and a long wait from what I hear. I recommend saving for some that are up to the job of taking a beating, should it happen. Just my $.02

the Rugged Ridge "Rock Sliders" are mounted to the frame. their "side steps" are mounted to the body.
