If you dont have a Rubi then you will have to cut the bumper to make them fit.....
I dont mind that at all. Ive got eveything I need for it from tooling to edging to go around the cuts made.

I ordered a set from Rock Hard 4x4 on Saturday. Very well made and very solid installation. I opted for the step in the up position. Cant wait for them to deliver and get them bolted on.

changed my mind and went angled down. Glad I did. Works perfect as a step and my wife can easily get in the Jeep now. These things are very beefy. 3 body mount bolts, 4 tub bolts, 8 pinch weld bolts PER SIDE. I have no doubt they will hold up as a rock slider. Finish is 20% texture to match bumpers or factory flares.

@ACE Engineering rock rails with Rubi factory work great for protection and are a decent step.

Look at something like the Roam rock sliders. The only problem is they are not available yet for the JT. They should be in the next couple of months though.
they've been saying that since the JT first hit showrooms.....Let me know if they do come out thought cuz i like their look.

I currently have the Mopar Performance Rock Rails, purchased them the end of March as I was tired of waiting for a step/slider and needed something for the other half. I ordered the LOD Armor Lite Rock Sliders this morning as she has difficulty getting in the Gladiator even with the Mopar extended rails.

I was planning on sliders but my Jeep plans have changed. If it ever changes again, I can still sell these and recoup some funds. I went with mopar performance rails

I went with the Iron Cross Rockers. I was quite impressed with the weight of the rockers. They are heavy duty and bolt to frame. Best of a

Personally, I like round lights on the JT. I mounted some Baja Designs LP6 Pros on the bumper. They are sort of a hybrid round/square. The housings are round but the lenses are flattened on the sides to produce a 200-degree light spread. I've always been dead set against mounting lights above the hood since I made the mistake of mounting lights above the windshield on one of my Jeeps. However, I've had a pair of BD XL-R (round) Racer Edition spots on order for several weeks and may mount them on the side of the cowl with the Rigid Designs adjustable mount. They only have a 4-degree beam. If they ever get here, I plan to hook them up temporarily and hold them in the cowl position to see if they cast any light on the hood. If they do, they're going on the bumper next to the LP6 lights.

By the way, it looks like Amazon has the 5" and 6" Apollo Pros in stock.
OEM are body mounted.
thank you
