I need to replace my flimsy side steps with a pair of rock sliders. I definitely want rock sliders that have a side step so that they will act as mud guards to keep from throwing slop into the back seat when the top is down. Recommendations?
Thanks! I'll look at that link. I do want them for protection and I don't want to lose any clearance.https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/rock-sliders-rocker-guards-guide.8704/
This would be a good place to start. Do you intend to use the sliders or will they be mostly for looks and to serve as a step? If you are most concerned about their function as a step I would look at frame mounted. They will offer a much lower step height. However, they will decrease you off road clearance.
Then you're going to need to stick with tub mounted which are stronger and maximize ground clearance.Thanks! I'll look at that link. I do want them for protection and I don't want to lose any clearance.

Yes that was very sad news. I had spoken with Zach several times over the years, ran several of his products, and he was always just a really nice guy who produced high quality components. Zach will be missed by a lot of people.EDIT: Looks like AtoZ experienced the death of their owner and founder and are closed until further notice while they decide how to move forward.
I just ordered a set of the JCR's this week. I was debating between them and Savvy. Unfortunately the Savvy sliders for my LJ have been on backorder for a while. 10% off and free shipping was to good to pass up.I bought the sliders from JCR for the same reasons you have. They aren’t a good step unless you’re limber. I was after the protection and no loss of clearance and these fit the bill nicely. I watched their testing video. Good enough for me.

I've rammed my JCR's on several rocks, and while they need touch up occassionaly, they are holding up well.I just ordered a set of the JCR's this week. I was debating between them and Savvy.

Those are the ones I ordered. I haven't had time to finish painting and installing them yet. After unpacking, I can say they seem pretty well built and are definitely heavy enough that I expect they will take some abuse.You guys that recommend the JCRs. Are you talking about these?

Hey, since you actually have a pair, would you mind measuring them and telling me how far out from the body they are going to extend? I'm guessing maybe 3", but I'd love to know the exact measurement.Those are the ones I ordered. I haven't had time to finish painting and installing them yet.

JCR is still running their 10% off sale so I would recommend ordering directly if you get a set. The code is "taxsale".

Ha! Just watched it.That looks like the right item. I got mine already coated. I just don’t have a place to paint. They are solid. Go to their site and they have video of them testing them.

It looks like once installed they will be just about 3 1/2 inches.Hey, since you actually have a pair, would you mind measuring them and telling me how far out from the body they are going to extend? I'm guessing maybe 3", but I'd love to know the exact measurement.
