Added seat jackers. Haven’t driven with it, but it’s a noticeable difference just sitting in it. Will be curious to see how it translates to road trips.

Did you go with the .75" or 1.25" lifters? Curious to hear your feedback.

How do you like the ace engineering rock slider so far? Any rust issues? I will be getting one shortly for my mojave but just wasn’t sure if getting it line-x’d or would be wise or just a waste of money.

I went with 1.25" mostly because I didn't read super closely. I'm right at the edge...~32.5-33" inseam. 1.25" is definitely extreme, and so far my one complaint is that it doesn't allow the seat back to get upright as I'd normally prefer. I blame the seat itself for not having the range, but I probably should have seen that coming. The .75" probably wouldn't have impacted this aspect as much, but I was also concerned it wouldn't make a big enough difference.

I like them. No rust yet or anything but I can see a few spots that I think are thin on the powder coat. I’m keeping an eye on them. Worst case I will touch it up if necessary. My wife loves them as she is pretty short and it makes entry and exit much easier. They are very sturdy.

Thank you for the feedback. I think the .75 might be enough for me.

@Gren71 sent you a message.

Installed the Mopar utility rail, kit did not come with two mounting screws. Has anyone experience this abs have a part number?
Also, some trail mirrors, bestop sun bikini, and some lugs from @Quadratec that appears rn be missing a lug and possibly a socket…

Well....had the local tire shop put on my Rubicon take-offs with Wildpeaks!! I was so excited, I forgot to take a before picture with the black rims and street tires that I bought it with (the package from the dealer was listed as an Altitude package). Gotta say...what a difference though!!

Stole the idea from @Sarge502 who messaged me a bunch of photos and more info. My TRASH NFab steps were already showing many signs of rust in less than 4 months. No doubt they would have disintegrated in less than 2 years. Got the company to return them for a full refund. Bought these GoRhino RB20 Slim ones in bed liner coating as a replacement. Like most things, instructions were generic at best and were open to interpretation and a little trial and error. Quality however seems quite superior to the NFab.

Looking good. I’ve only seen these slim versions twice now. Very nice. Although I prefer the standard for a bit more surface to step. But those look really nice. Good choice. Glad you followed through!. Quality is on point especially with the bed liner coating.
