How do they mount? I'd strongly suggest getting frame mounted sliders!
The aluminum ones that get mount to the body? LOL!! I wouldn't waste your money on them. I helped a good friend install a set on his 4-door and after one hard trip, they got all mangled up. Asked TeraFlex about it and their response was that he either didn't know how to drive or was wheeling too hard. :rolleyes2:

they are not meant for mall speed bumps of that size:doh:
Pictures are worth a 1,000 words and, in spite of what the fanboys will try and suggest, I simply cannot make this stuff up. One hit of a rock and see how much it deformed the rocker guards...
This was a light hit but still, you can see how it deformed the rocker guard...
I should note, these were NOT hard hits. I can't imagine what these rocker guards would have looked like if they were.
After extensive research I found LoD sliders were my best option. Mounts to the frame with only minor frame drilling. I will say there is a 3 week lead time from when you order to when they ship. I am still waiting for them to arrive at the house and once I get here and installed I will post pictures. I was looking at Poison Spyder and EVO and settled on LoD.

and this is why I posted the question. thanks for the info. I was also consider PSC and LOD. I like EVO but the welding part is not something I can do.
I might recommend the LoD then. No welding required and the install isn't too bad. I've run them on multiple JK's in the past and they've always done their job well. Here is a write-up I did for them.

if I can find someone with welding skills how do the LOD compare to EVO?
I've run both and can tell you that both are great rocker guards. I prefer the EVO sliders because they are weld on.

U can always weld on the lod ones also. Mine I bolted on, and I've hit them hard quite a few times and besides scratches which are an easy touch up, they haven't caused any body damage. I have had my jk on a lift with the lift arms on the sliders also. The evo ones hug the body more and really don't have a step like the lod ones.

I've only had the LoD, at Eddies recommendation, because I wanted a step and didn't want to weld. The EVO ones are now available at a shallower angle so they are more step-like too. The good option about the LoD is that I was able to transfer them to the new rig. Weld on stays with the vehicle. But, as for strength, the mounting plates on the LoD are large enough to weld after bolting, which I'd imagine are even tougher than just weld on.
