anyone have any home made ones or steer me in a direction to buy some cheap good ones, i really want something that stays under the jeep and not protrude so far out

 

You could check into having a local shop about making you some custom ones. A few of my friends went that route and it was far cheaper than going with sliders from a larger company.

 

i bought a set of used (but in good condition) stock rubicon sliders and had Dr.Dirty fab up an awesome set of sliders. Have a shop or buddy bend some tube and weld them on.

For the used sliders, material cost, and time for fab/welding, i paid $300

Do you have a good pic for reference....

 

I have a set of sliders that I just took off my Rubi.

 

I dont as of just yet. I had them fabbed up two weeks ago and they're still in the garage. I've finally decided that im going to strip off the rest of the paint/powder coat and coat the sliders in Herculiner. I know if you search for some of Dr. Dirty's pictures...you will find a few good shots of them. I will try to take some pictures of the rails on Monday. The fabbed up rails look very similar to Shrockworks in my opinion.

PF:

You didn't say if you had a 2-door or 4-door, but Rugged Ridge makes their RRC Side Armor Guards for both the 2-door and 4-door JK...you can get them from Quadratec, and here are the links:

4-Door:

The 2 door guards will run you 3 bills even, and for the 4-door, you're lookin' at about $330 bones...not too bad for brand, new, bolt-up (no weld/drill) protection.
