Default Smittybilt XRC rock guards with step

Has anyone ordered or installed the new Smittybilt XRC rock guards with the step? I can't find what they actually look like anywhere. Every single place that sells them has the wrong picture for it.

Thanks.

I don't have the XRC but I have the SRC and love them. They have protected me plenty of times.

The src's are also an option for me, they just appear to hang really low with that third bar. I feel like I would be sliding them over everything.

I have them the third bar is higher than the frame, so wont hang you up. They look and work great, and are CHEEP!

I am putting stock JK sliders on b/c they are cheap, and do what I want (protect). How cheap are you talking?
My wife hates that I am losing a step, but will love that I am saving my jeep.

That is a good price. I got some brand new rubi rails for $250. I needed the added protection, and they look so much better than the steps. I found 1.5" wheel spacers too.

Gotta love Jeeps.

I got these, and they are still higher than the frame. So no issues as long as you are tilting to the side too much.
But they would not be the best for extreme rock crawling.
I use my JK for adventure and camping, so they are perfect for me, with a lift and 34"s.
And they look good too...!
