It was pretty straight forward. The OEM rock rails came off in a breeze.

You install 3 brackets on each size and then mount the steps to the brackets. Rather than using a level on the extended part of the brackets, we leveled them with the frame rails - using a level on the extended part made them look crooked when comparing all 3 on one side. The OEM rails have a slight bend to them, whereas the Iron Cross are straight. I wish they were slightly bent to be flush with the frame. So I just tried to make sure the gap was even front and rear.

I like the sliders shown on the ARB SEMA JL so I reached out and they said May production.

Received an email from Roam yesterday indicating the 2 door step/sliders would be available today... they're ordered and hopefully on the way soon! I noticed there is no longer on sale on them ($499 + shipping and- since I'm in Texas- taxes), but just happy they're finally available.

I’m happy with my setup for RedRock side armor with step pads - good protection overall and good price range. Coating doesn’t slip and easy to install (once they sent me the missing hardware).

My @Metalcloak sliders add a lot more protection, not a huge added step but it is more than the Rubi rails.

So if I read their instructions correctly, these don't attach to the body bolts correct? Would it be possible to get some pictures of the mounting location? Thanks.

Installed the n-fab nerf bars tonight. Taking off the rock rails was easy. Installing these were very straightforward; most of the time was me checking everything! Love how they came out!

My JLUR in order is white. Thinking about painting these Rugged Ridge rails red along with beadlock rings. I want high clearance, strong, a step would be nice but not mandatory.
