So went wheeling this past Saturday in my 2011 JKUR and the NFAB nerf sliders i got with the car lets say didnt hold up ( mall rated more than trail rated i guess) .... they got dented and bent up and ending up dimpling the bottom of the rocker panel in certain spots. I was worried about these steps before going because of how the steps are placed i knew the steps were going to get caught on something or they were going to make a problem somehow and i tried to get a trade + cash for other sliders but couldnt so 1 day before going on this wheeling trip i thought "hey its a 101 class im going to nothing will happen"...... i should have knocked on wood.
So looking into some new sliders.
A guy within the group, one of the instructors showed me his set up, i liked it alot.
He had a double combo of the Rubi Rails and Ace sliders that were bolted up.
I loved it! one, because with the rubi rails, it would mask the dimples. caused by the NFAB Nerf steps
and then adding a second line of protection if in worst case scenario the Ace ones want to do the same thing
AND i found someone local with Rubi Rails, (scratched slightly but idc will strip the paint and bedline then paint the color i wish to have before install) for $50.00 so leaning more twords the double up idea. and $50.00 is alot cheaper than those Rocker guards which are in the range of $200-300+
But i love the look of the Evo Mfg rock sliders are. they look super heavy duty and hardcore. but from what i saw on north ridge 4x4 are for a weld-on installation. and dont know if i can use the Rubi sliders are able to fit with these installed.
Another one i like the look of was the LoD signature series. due to the step look. etc. but i know a Rubi rail will not be able to fit with this on.
SO for my questions
1. Is welding on sliders better or is bolting on sliders better. and why?
2. What sliders can be doubled with the Rubi sliders. ?
3. What sliders would you get and why?
Thanks in advance. also anything i missed that i might need to look into? Please let me know!
Sorry if my wording is confusing or im not using the right termenology for things.... still getting use to this jeep "wayalife"
