I also have these. They give a clean look when you put in aftermarket rock sliders. My only complaint is the front of each pinch seams are body matched bolts that hold on some sort of body panel. The sill guards don't appear to take these into account and you won't get a flush seal on the front pinch seam. Either way they are still nice.

Thanks for the replies. I switched out my rubicon rails for the upgraded mopar rails (same as Moab). Not sure if these will work with those.

I like the way those look, but I would have to modify the sill guards with the rock sliders I have coming, they mount to the pinch seam as well as the frame.

Just ordered a set. Looks like I will have to remove mopar sill plate in order to install this.

I removed the bolts and drilled the guards after install and put the bolts back in.

These look amazing, and the coverage at the door sill looks well thought out.

How do they interact with the door seals? Any issues with the weatherstrip sealing?

how thick is the material? it looks like there is probably enough space in between the body and the moab rock rail to still make this work.

I put on the Bushwacker sill/rocker covers today. I chose this product because it protects the outer edge of the sill from boot scrapes on entry. The installlation instructions are decent and one of the first things that is mentioned says that some fitting may be needed. Here’s what the mating ends looked like out of the box:

The material was not difficult to file down and whittle with a utility knife - it’s only about 1/8” thick plastic - but wish Buswacker had a bit better process control to square the ends. Like PowerGuy, I also drilled for the body bolts. If I had to do it over again, I’d take the doors off to fit up the sill/rocker guards. The contour of the passenger front piece was a bit off and made installation tricky. I started this project with temps in the low 60s, the plastic and 3M tape got easier to work with as the day warmed up.

All the little things above, and my irrational fear of 3M tape, pushed the install time to about 3 hours - probably twice as long as it should have taken. In the end, I was pleased with the results.

Has anyone fit these onto a 2-door or know if they would go under LOD destroyers? I love the idea especially because I have a big rock chip exactly where there would cover :giggle:
