I am thinking about going with the White Knuckle Offroad sliders for my '22 JT. Curious about thoughts on installing them with the factory rubi rails I currently have installed or to taking the rubi rails off and to installing them with a set of Motobilt rocker guards my local shop has that they'd give me?

Any thoughts on this look? WKO sliders with rubi rails or WKO with Motobilt rocker guards (no rubi rails)?

I have the White Knuckle sliders with the oem Rubi rails. The Rubi rails protects that area behind them from your feet.

Thanks. Yea, that was my original thought and then my local shop said they had some Motobilt rocker guards I could have if I wanted them. These would protect the body/paint from feet as well wouldn't they? Just curious to get input on one option/look versus the other.

I love them with the stock Ribi-Rails... Here is a pic, as I went with the upgraded double square tubing... in place of the 2x2 tube, they did it 2x4 (it was 2 of the 2x2 welded together. One note from my washing experience, may want to go without the tops... I like them, but dirt and S@$T gets stuck under there... here are some pics from front and rear - both sides.

Thanks for the pics. I have been debating on the full top or just the partial tops. I had thought about no tops. It would prevent stuff from building up on top since we have a lot of mud around here. But I kind of liked the idea of having the top at the rear portion that bumps out. Only other thought was that the full top may provide some manner of protection of mud/stone kick up from the front tires.

I think the rear only would have been a great option... some tread tape, like gorilla tape would work fine one the rest for good traction! Best of luck!
