Finally, the GOAT (Sliders) has arrived…

[JulesAo]

My wife, who takes the truck often, even mentioned how they are not slippery. You will be happy with them!

Question: I sold my factory rock rails and replaced them with step bars that now need to go away. This will presumably expose the rocker panels, no? Do I need to get another set of factory rock rails to install in addition to the Goat rails?

Also, I'm putting 37s on tomorrow. That and replacing the step bars with the Goat rails is going to make the step up quite a bit higher, no?

Adam is a dude. He just called and talked me through what I'm gonna need to make it all good. I highly recommend this guy. His service is on point.

Jules, what info did he provide? Asking because someone else may have a similar question and could use the information.

We chatted about some details. The flat version sits about 2" lower than the angled-up version making it a real step and the lead time is 3-4 weeks.

Ordered some up myself, w/o the step plates. Missed the 30% off for launch, but got 20% off. With free shipping, seemed like a fair deal.

Anyone get theirs yet? Anxiously waiting for mine still, probably another week or two if the LT's on the site are accurate.

Can I ask what was said about not having your factory rock rails? I also do not have mine and interested in these. Thanks
Edit: Sorry, I think he says in the video they mount with or without original slider. Thanks

Mine were shipped yesterday and are scheduled to arrive Saturday. Adam told me they work in conjunction WITH the Rubi rails.

Yes that is correct, I have mine on in addition to the rubicon sliders

I should have posted mine here too!

@JulesAo , did you have to slot the holes a tad as well?

No, I didn't have to drill or slot anything. They lined up pretty well.

Love that color!

My buddy was in town this weekend, he hesitated to step on the rails since so many are not sturdy. Commented on how secure they felt when getting in.

Finally got my sliders installed. I ordered the flat slider with the top plate. First impression is that these are beefy, I’d have no doubt they will protect the Jeep. They are low enough to give a nice step but not lower than the frame so it shouldn't hurt ground clearance. They were packaged well and even though the exterior box was beat up the sliders weren’t damaged.

Customer service is exceptional. I received my sliders and sent an email with a question about the install, about five minutes later Adam called me and explained everything. Even while installing I had a lot of difficulty, called Adam back and he was more than willing to talk me through troubleshooting the problem I was having (couldn’t get the holes to line up right). Ended up slipping my hand from the torque wrench, crushed my finger on the frame/ sider and broke my finger so I had my local shop finish up the install (shoutout to Jeeperz4wd for squeezing me in and getting it done). The sliders themselves make a great step and are ample wide for my kids to climb up on to get in the jeep with ease. Next I’m going to make a cover for the pinch seam, probably out of some aluminum flat stock just to give it a more finished look.

My jeep is on 3.5” lift with 315/70r17s.
