Hey guys, anyone have these?

OR-FAB 84342 - OR-FAB Rear Quarter Armor with Rock Slider for 07-14 Jeep® Wrangler Unlimited JK 4 Door - Quadratec

I'm looking for input on these with or without the tube slider (without slider is about $70 cheaper). I would do this mod to delete the rear factory lights (to go to a flush mount light) and to gain some side protection. I'm going to have about 350 to spend after xmas. It's either these, TF tire carrier, or a new rear driveshaft. I have a RR tire carrier now and I'm ok with it for now. I'm weary of putting a heavy 37/13.50 on a TF carrier, and my DS is still in good shape. Therefore I'm looking at getting the rear corner guards. My only problem is the $350 will be with Quadratec, so I have to get whatever it is from them. I like the Or-Fab corners the best I think. Let me know your input. Thanks

Or I might just get the new Fox steering stabilizer and sell my old style Fox SS.

I run the rear skins with the tube slider. I ended up hitting a tree earlier this year and the skins covered up the damage. I love them and most people like them once they see them in person. They are well built and even though i haven't used the slider i feel it would do it's job. The rear lights are nearly flush with the tub and are very bright which is a great bonus. Sorry don't have better pics of the lights.

I just installed the rocker panel armor this week (put on sliders too right after this pic was taken). Install wasn't bad considering I drilled holes in the side of my perfectly good '12. I'm in love with the look, fit and finish was nice, no breakage on any supplied hardware.

Didn't get them. Haven't installed any rear corner guards yet.

Buying the Fox Steering Stabilizer would be a waste of money. I run 37s with no stabilizer and no problems.

I would get the corner around.

I really like those corners. I wish the taillights cut out were for stock lights.
