Nuff said.
All awesome products. I went with Pure Jeep sliders. They were a bitch to install but they'r stout as all hell. Tons of clearance as well

My EVOs are getting welded on this week. Ace's prices are good and people seem to like them but i don't want to risk my rockers with their mounting system.....I'm not an engineer but I don't think it is arguable that welding sliders to the frame is the strongest slider you could have. you're never going to read about EVOs failing or flexing into the body and thats the whole point of a slider!

Flexed my ace rails into the pinch seam a couple months ago, can't say I'm happy about it. I'm saving for a set of weld on rails now. Either going to go with evo or ace. Definitely get something that mounts to the frame not the body mount bolts.

If anyone has any other suggestions as far as a frame mounted slider that my 5'2" girlfriend can use to get in and out it would be appreciated. It doesn't look like she will be able to use the evo ones.

built my own and welded the passenger side because there is no clearance between the frame rails and the gas tank but was able to bolt through the frame on the drivers side with heavy wall 1'' pipe welded in to runthe grade 8 bolts through and they weigh about 80lbs a piece and I have had some brutal hits on the rocks with them and all the damage was some scratched paint on the sliders they are stout as hell so welding to the frame or bolting through the frame is the way to go!

Looking at the psc brawler rockers, has anyone really beat theirs to hell yet? Anyone taken a rock impact on them and what sort of damage did it do?

These are what I was looking into also. I like the idea of the rocker armor as well as the sliders.

I went with the ACE rails as well and LOVE them. They have protected my body from damage on numerous occasions. For someone to say that these aren't for people that wheel I would argue that point Check out this video of me dropping my JKUR on the ACE rails and you can decide if they will stand up to serious wheeling.
