thoughts? I'm on the fence, while it would prevent a stray shopping cart while I mall crawl, are they any good off road? Something is better than nothing?
I do wish they covered the other half of the back side of passenger door.

I'm just not willing to drill holes in my brand new truck yet.

thanks for the input!

I've never hit anything that high when crawling in 40 years.

A good pair of Rock Sliders are great for crawling and stopping shopping carts and door dings.

I can think of a lot better mods to spend $359 on but that’s me. You do you! ?

thats exactly why im asking for opinions. I Like the idea, not the price. lol

It seems the only thing they would protect you from are door dings. I have a really bad one on my passenger side that would have been prevented. My only thing is that I agree that they are not very attractive.

agreed. They are stick on, which is attractive to me. I like the idea of some protection without drilling holes. This is just all I’ve seen so far. At least that not ppf or a wrap of some kind. Which won’t stop a random shopping cart from putting a dent in my door.

Here’s a thought from left field: call a local local paintless dent repair place in your area and ask what a 1” aluminum door ding would cost to repair. I’d wager you could get a couple dents repaired for that same price. Then ask yourself how many door dings you’ve ever gotten…for me, it would be a bad investment as I’ve never had to have a door ding repaired.

Air Design has some crazy designs. Any rock slider or steps would prevent carts from hitting your doors. I think that company's prices are a bit steep for what they sell but I don't have any experience with them, just what I've seen on their website. I like other products they sell for their "street" products but not the Jeep products.

Get yourself some factory rock rails, buy some tubing and find a buddy with a welder. A few paint cans later and no shopping carts or doors will ever ding my doors. I even added skateboard grip tape so my wife doesn’t slip getting in and out.

Love the white trim!
