Yes they will work, I installed this on my 2012 auto rubicon last weekend. We installed mine under the slider where the factory cross member was. I dont have pics but might be able to take some tomorrow...

Thanks for the response. If i understand correctly, you bolted the skids up to the frame, then the sliders went over the skids?

Correct!!!! The skid is only slightly thicker than that crossover, so no big deal. Just got to take the sliders off to mount the skid.

So far yes, have not given it a really good workout though. The fit and finish was very nice on the skids. We had to make a small change, the skid that attaches to the oil pan skid needed the front mounting hole opened up. We just turned them into slots and everything dropped right into place. Luckly my boyfriend has access to a machine shop, so it was easy to do.
