Hey all I'm struggling bad trying to get these rocker guards on. I get one side to get into place but the other side won't line up. Any quick tips or advice would be greatly appreciated !

 

Mine had some fitting issues too. It wasn't off by much. I had to use a Dremel but and gring out some of the bolt holes some. Just some grinding for mine.

 

Same thing here. The holes either don't line up, or when they do line up they're too small for the bolt. Spent a while drilling out the holes on the rails so they'd match up on the frame and fit the bolts. Not the greatest install and a bunch of us have had the same problem.

 

Ours fit no problem at all. Although we have heard of other fitment issues which have been mentioned above can be corrected with just a little grinding.

 

Does anyone have pics of these on a 2 dr? I am looking at these and like the look of the style that goes on the 4 door. The only thing I see for the 2 dr looks different and I don't like the look. Also, how much up and back does it go on the pinch seam? I know I'll have to trim mine when i get larger tires. So there's no point in these if they run the full length of the seam.

 

Take a look at our Facebook Page, we have tons of pictures of these sliders. We have pictures of the sliders in action too.

It doesn't go as far back as the pinch bolt but we haven't paid that much attention to the exact location because we have the Rock Krawler X Factor Plus lift which moves the rear axle back one inch, and we are only on 33's right now. Will be switch to 35's maybe 37's soon.

If you have any questions about anything at all feel free to PM us.

 

I had to dremel one side as well. Fitment wasn't great. But other than that, I've had no problems with them at all!

 

I had the same issue. No problems at all on the right side.left side I had to open up the holes. Not a big deal

 

I struggled getting them on as well. The back went on perfect (both sides), but the "U" cut on the fronts weren't wide enough and wouldn't push up. We used a cutting wheel to widen the "U" cut and it went up with ease. Love the look.

 

Mr 2012 2dr with the smitty sliders. Had the same issues with installation as others have mentioned, but got them on after a bit of grinding. These sliders have taken some punishment in the rocks and have held up well. I've used them to jack with my hi-lift, no problems. (I position the jack as close to the body mounts as possible, where the sliders connect to the jeep.) Highly recommend.
