Just got my ACE rails a few weeks ago. No drilling just need to grind down 4 washers, only wish they covered the pinch seam. They also fit the rubi rails as stated before. very happy with them so far...

Default rails

Ace Engineering rock rails is what I have also and I love them. I am still trying to get my hands on a set of rubi rails for added protection.

i am actually not too happy with the way the new Rubicon sliders are setup, after a week and 1000kms I already had a few instances were rocks had wedged between the slider and the body, causing the rocks to be ground into the rocker and paint. I am going to see if I can wedge some rubber or something between to keep rocks from getting wedged in betwen.

Alot of people said the TJ Rubicon sliders weren't good but after having them 7 years they looked good as new when I traded in my TJ.

Check out poisonspyder dot com. their stuff is a bit pricey but they make some bad ass stuff. I thinking about going with their Rocker Knokers or whatever they're called.

Could you take a picture of underneath to see how they cover the pinch seam?

I have these also and they are very tough and look great. Not one bit of drilling. Here is a demo of their toughness. Listen to the ugly sounds.

I snapped a few pics for you to see.



Pinch Seam


Front Under


Rear Under
OK, so I am somewhat rethinking the drilling into the Pinch seam isn't all that bad... I snapped two of the larger bolts off as I was taking off my runners last night. Do this screw into those holes where the 3 large bolts go for the runners???
