Default Sliders Without Drilling (Yes Another Slider Thread)

So to dodge the normal assault I have used the search button with no success

I am looking to get sliders for my 4 door. However, I am turned off by the idea of drilling, especially when I read it can be up to 14 times. (Rust is an enemy of mine) Is there any good options that still afford good protection. So far I found Mopar enhanced rails and olympic sliders. Are there any other suggestions?


Thanks

Dan

Default Thanks!!

Thanks for the quick responses do you know anyone running the new LOD? I thought they required drilling but I love the look. On this page hxxp://www.lodoffroad.com/xcart/home.php?cat=249&sort=title&sort_direction=0 they say it requires drilling is this the right one?

The factory Rubicon rails are tough as HELL. I have them on mine. If the enhanced sliders are made off that design, then I would say get those.

I put the OlympicXtreme Double Slider Bars on my 4-door JK. They bolt on easily and have provided excellent protection in Moab and elsewhere. I installed them with the outer bar up to provide maximum clearance. My wife would prefer the outer bar down so it would provide a step for her to get in, but clearance is more of a priority than my wife getting in easily. (It is a Jeep, not a Cadillac).
