Very nice! Those are some great rails
I ended up with the 2" and only did the front and cut off any excess from the bottom to make it real clean. I also took off the front 2 pinch seam screws tjen poked holes in the tape just to make the tape look all flush once I put the screws back in. There is no need to wrap the back of the seam at all.Did you get these installed? How do you like them? Pics?
There are a number of threads here discussing the difficulty in removing the body bolts (though they report 6, not 4). Consensus is that the front bolt is red loctited and the 2 rear bolts are blue loctited. Some have had success with just a good breaker bar, strength and patience. Some have broken the bolts. Some have removed the bolts only to have the inner nut move and not be able to rethread the bolt.
Installed the LoD Signature Series. I think they look great and will do what I want - keep rocks and shopping carts away from my rocker panels.
Couple of install tips:
1) Phone a friend. These weigh a ton.
2) To get the holes over the body mount washers, you may need to rock the sliders back and forth. See tip #1. This is virtually impossible to do by yourself.
3) Don't tighten down the rear nuts until you have the bolt into the captured nut up front. Otherwise it may pull the slider far enough away from the frame so that the bolt can't reach the captured nut to get started.
Easy install, maybe an hour. I might drill the extra holes someday but I'm not sure I need them for fairly light off-roading.

Can you take an image of the full side view of your Jeep? I would love to see the rails with a full view. I'm very interested in them. They look sharp.Installed the LoD Signature Series. I think they look great and will do what I want - keep rocks and shopping carts away from my rocker panels.

They are supposed to be here October 4 and I will install them then. I’ll let you know
I got the Mopar performance rock rails installed today, these things are very nice and look like they are bomb proof LOL . They [GALLERY=][/GALLERY]mount in the exact same place that the original Rubicon rock rails mounted on my jeep. But they are nice and they provide a good step and also lots of protection. The finish is great, just finished with a bedliner from Mopar and they are made in the United States per the box that Mopar shipped.
Thank you! They look sharp!!!Here you go. They kind of disappear from view directly to the side.
Cajun, I had my dealer install the Westin rails, and unfortunately they squeak like holy hell anytime the Jeep hits the slightest bump. ( It does appear that they used the plastic spacers, which if left out could have been the cause of the squeaking.) Did you have any experience with squeaking after the installation? The car is now almost undriveable with the constant squeaking coming from these rails, and I'll go back to the stock rails if I can't find a way to get rid of the noise.
