Went back to my original plan of buying both ARB Rock Rails and JCR Crusader Rock Rails, evaluate/compare both and keep the one that best suits me...
First thing that impressed me was the packaging of the ARB's. They came in a HD box, banded to a wood pallet and each and every part was individually wrapped in protective foam. The JCR's arrived in much flimsier box, already damaged and with strapping tape holding one end together and no pallet. Quick look inside however and everything seems to be OK with exceptions of some minor surface scratching, kinda of hard to mess up 3/16" steel!
Second and only other thing I have had time to look at is the finish, hands down, no contest-ARB clearly has a superior finish. Plan to remove all parts, lay them out and see how each fits to my JLR in the next day or so and install the one I want this weekend. The pair I didn't install will be posted for sale Monday. Both are very good and really couldn't go wrong with either...
I also picked up a cordless Rivnut gun to set those damm rivet nuts! Was hoping to get a Milwaukee Fuel, however Milwaukee does not make a rivnut gun yet...So found this AC-Delco kit, charging now and will try/pratice with it on thin sheet metal before I try it on my Rubi 2-door...(Rubi 2-door, that just sounds right!)
