get the pj for the sweet functionality and hoss looks get the rest if they catch your eye.
thats probley why, the install process isnt easy. Its worth it once the rockers are on. they give you full wrap around protection

I pulled them off my wrecked JK and installed them on my new one.

I love the boatsliders and they'll got well w/ my Treks skids. But I also love those TeraFlex rails. A combo of the two would be unbeatable. I'm going to see if I can find someone in STL to fab me up a set.

I really like that idea, my only concern is connecting the body to the frame with out some sort of isolater ie body mount.

What if I ditched the body mount and had it bolt straight to the chasis? Not sure how I'd go about doing that though as the boat sliders would prevent you getting a ratched up in there.

I've got the MBRP sliders, they mount the same as the stock Rubicon sliders. Don't have a picture but they look great and are really strong. Check out their website.

Thanks for adding us to this thread! Check out our new rock rails and other accessories for the 2 and 4 door JK's.

Here is a picture of our 4 door with the optional steps added.

I have a a dent in the rocker panel that goes all the way under the rear wheel fender. Do you think this will make it hard to mount the pj sliders properly? I can probably hammer it straight or have someone else do it. I dont have the tools either so ill probably end up getting them installed somewhere

Here is my damage from the stock Rubi Rails:

They were not fun installing but I am very happy when how they turned out.

The rock slide up but the rails also bent into the tub. The brackets on the stock rubi rails are not very strong they caused the dent along the whole rocker. Even if you had a tube welded on the stock rubi rails the brackets would still need to be reinforced to not allow them to bend.

Anyway I needed to cover up some damage and the PureJeep sliders worked for me. Nothing like a good reason for an upgrade right..
