What are you favorite rock rails and why... wife is vertically challenged and want the added protection.... looking for what people are liking and how their installs went!
I second this. I've been through several rocker guards and Savvy is by far my favorite. Light weight, strong, great fit and they look awesome. My wife is vertically challenged and the combination of the Savvy guard/step and the Grabars works for her. Since the install required some nutserts, a tool like this one is invaluable.

Also, if you get any rocker that requires nutserts, do yourself a favor and liberally apply antisieze to the bolts that go into the nutsert. You'll thank yourself later when you have to remove them!

What armor did you go with for tub and doors?
I'm using these. The install is fairly easy as they mount between the body and frame mounts, no drilling. They're very sturdy and work great as steps, and probably to some degree for protection. I like the fact that they tuck up under the tub pretty good, they don't hang down too much.

I would encourage anyone considering a rail of any kind to avoid that mounting system like the plague. 100% pure bullshit way of doing things.This one here is not my pic, as I don't currently have a picture from underneath. I got this from Amazon.

I bought them to use as a step, not for rocker guard protection. If I thought I might be slamming them on rocks, I wouldn't have used these either, and wouldn't recommend them for people that do trails hard enough to hit them.I would encourage anyone considering a rail of any kind to avoid that mounting system like the plague. 100% pure bullshit way of doing things.
Which means you agree with me?I bought them to use as a step, not for rocker guard protection. If I thought I might be slamming them on rocks, I wouldn't have used these either, and wouldn't recommend them for people that do trails hard enough to hit them.
I think. I mean agree they aren't great rock rails, I agree many others would protect the body much better. What I think about them is they they made great steps to get into the Jeep, and were an easy, no drill affair.Which means you agree with me?
Step and rail are not the same thing.I think. I mean agree they aren't great rock rails, I agree many others would protect the body much better. What I think about them is they they made great steps to get into the Jeep, and were an easy, no drill affair.
True, but a rail can incorporate a step. In the case of mine, they don't appear to be designed for, or up to the challenge of hard wheeling where hard contact with them is almost guaranteed.Step and rail are not the same thing.
