Not bad. That pinch weld is something that should be addressed at the factory. It looked terrible on the JK, looks just as bad on the JL/JT.
Fortunately I found a cheap set of sliders and opted for that route.
A 2015 JKU was my first Jeep and first vehicle Iād bought new. Then a RHD TJ, and now the JT. You could add in there a ā13 JKU, ā16 Compass, and ā19 Grand Cherokee that my wife has owned and I think youāll spot a bit of a pattern ?
I consider the JT to be a full-on multitool of the vehicle world. It ticks a lot of boxes for capabilities, utility, and even fun stuff, however the one thing it really canāt be is bigger.
Enjoy the new ride and I hope it treats you well, and maybe even find your way back into a Jeep someday...
Tires getting mounted Tuesday along with an alignment and whatever else that entails (Iām hoping itās just an adjustment) and eyeing up new batteries.
So itāll be like a spa week for it; mani/pedi on the tires/wheels, a massage/chiropractic adjustment for its alignment with some fresh juice...
It would be worth reaching out to Bartact to see whatās up. Certainly seems like an oversight for something model specific.
Also curious if you happened to have wound up with the wrong covers altogether - whether they left Bartact packaged incorrectly or Quadratec shipped the wrong one.
Those were my previous two. The TJ was a āwrong side driveā and was a former postal delivery vehicle. 180k miles on the original 4.0L and was still a strong runner when I sold her.
Hope she treats you well! ?
So the fella with the name āOneManClanā is calling out the alleged superiority of White Jeeps ?
Thatās baiting and Iām staying out of this.

Ditch it. Under 20k miles in over 3 years and you donāt care for the ride when you DO drive it.
So youāre paying to look at it, as you mentioned you do like how it looks.
Thereās negotiations you can make with the dealership to squeeze a little more out of it, as others mentioned itās...
I donāt even think the steps are standard on the later model Overlands and Wrangler Saharas like they used to be, but are now a few hundred dollar option.
Willys, Rubicon, and Mojave I believe all come standard with sliders.
Went with the cheap-ass 3D printed fobā¦and then I bought another one because I liked it so much.
I believe theyāll even do the swap for you, but not exactly sure how that works.
Thatās a lot of wear, is all, for that price.
I used a different brand, installed Feb. 2022 and have about 25k miles in them, similar price point as PRP.
