Rockhard or Warrior Sliders?

[Kon]

I have read the analysis of @JMT here;

https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/rock-sliders-rocker-guards-guide.8704/
and have narrowed down my choices when use and taste are considered to either these;

or these;

I'm not into rock crawling and the decision to install the sliders is to be on the safe side, since some minor damage has occurred to the lower body.

I understand that the RH provide better coverage to the underside of the body but would like to hear your opinion on other aspects as well.

Thanks

I’ve got the ROCK HARD sliders with the tube. There fine for my use although they don’t extend all the way to the wheel opening. I would order direct from ROCK HARD if you’re buying them

Thanks. Do you have a picture of how close to the wheel wells go? I have 6'' pocket flares btw.

I can post one tomorrow as I’m away from where the Jeep is now

I do know that they fit closely to the factory flares on the side and angle forward underneath. You may have to notch your aftermarket flares if they are if they fit differently on the sides

Yes, I've noticed.

The pocket flares are mounted on the existing holes of the factory ones and are maybe a bit more bulky on the ends. That's why it would help to see some pictures.

Would also appreciate if you can post a picture from the inside to see how the bolts on the side of the tub look.

RockHard 4x4

On what basis?

 

[Kon]

Visually, I prefer the warrior ones but to understand the additional practical benefit I may get from the RH to make up my mind.

 

[JMT]

On what basis?

Made in USA
Description leaves less guesswork
Company more well-known

I just read the description for the warrior product. They are not sliders,they are side plates with no protection underneath

Thanks. I will take a look and update the OP if necessary.

They're basically diamond plate to cover rust or dents. You can buy similar products on Ebay for $50 (like my old Rubi knock-offs)

These are their rock sliders. The side plate is a different product they offer.

FWIW, they have a ton of products for the TJ, and they all suck and are way over-priced.

Yes I just read the product description that the OP posted in this thread. Thank you for your research you did on the sliders. I used that guide when I was shopping for sliders. I ended up buying the ROCK HARD.
