TNT Customs Adventure Series JT Rock Sliders are supposed to arrive today for the JTR. I'll prep, prime and bedline them posthaste!

I put these on my wife's JKUR (pics attached) and they are far superior to the ACE Sliders that are on my JKUR.

Looks good but I'm scratching my head on how these can cost $2087, unpainted.

We’ll that right there is probably a direct result of COVID and the disruption of the supply chain. I paid $1099 on 7/19/20 for these. I doubt I’d pony up $2100 for these today…

That's a hell of a price hike! I mean I've seen price increases but this takes the cake.

If they are a smaller shop then they are getting hit harder than the big companies by material cost increases. I already talked to a fab shop about their tire carrier rear bumper and they are looking at a $600+ price drop on the bumper by Q2 next year due to steel prices dropping.

I felt that!

Looks like a little MT6 abuse

I went with the Rock Hard Patriot Series Tube Slider Rocker Guards - Angled Up
We only have a 2.5" lift and 37's, but the wife was struggling to get in the Jeep at 5'3".
Added a grab handle on the roll bar and the combo works great. I went this route after looking at this for quite some time and must have looked at more than a dozen designs.
Requirements for me are:
1. Mounting, mounting mounting! I ruled out frame mount and decided body mounts AND pinch seem was the way to go since the body has many great mounting points. Frame mounts are going to be too long maybe, and the leverage is going to make for interesting problems.
2. BEEF! Be an actual rock rail and strong enough to pivot against rocks
3. NO protruding steps ie rock anchors. FWIW those are steps, NOT sliders
4. Stick out far enough to protect the body and provide a step a few inches lower than the door sill
5. Easy enough install.

Obviously a very personal thing depending on your needs. For me the Rock Hard rails are perfect on the Glady. Beefy, great mounting, nice step (up or down option) well thought out and executed design. Came on a pallet undamaged. Shipped LTL and not in some cardboard box via common carrier.
5 Stars.

A little late of a response but I have them and love them. I have the flip steps. They are in the flat position. I leave them there as they seem to be able to take a ton of abuse and don't need to be flipped up.

I have posted this somewhere in another thread but this vid shows how hard of hits they can take. They are not frame mounted and for anything I do they don't need to be.

Are these tub or body bolt mounted?

They attach at the pinch seam. You can drill out the holes to use upgraded hardware. Full instructions at: https://images.metalcloak.com/Metal...d-Flip-Step-Kit-Installation-Instructions.pdf

Cool, so basically like the stock rubi rails.

Thanks!

Why do a lot of people refer to them as rubi rails when other trims come with the rails standard as well?

No other trim (except the mojave now) comes with them standard. The packages like willy's and freedom borrow parts from the rubi, but they're both sports with packages, not trims like Sport, Overland, Rubicon, Mojave, High Altitude.

Trying to make up my mind on whether to go with rock slide engineering, metalcloak, or rock hard.

 

[mcccop_04]

I went with Go Rhino RB20. Probably More of a step than a rock rail but very solid built and work out great for us.

Love those, keep trying to decide whether to go with these or something more likely to take a little abuse.

Giving a thumbs down to NFab for anyone in the rust belt. One bout in the snow season and they’re pretty quickly crusty. I expected rust, eventually, this showed up earlier than anticipated. Passenger side for some reason took it worse than the driver side.
