Reviews for Smittybilt XRC Rock Sliders in Textured Black for 97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ & Unlimited
These look great! They especially look good with the rest of XRC combo with flat fenders and rear flares. Simple install too. Highly recommend.
I purchased the complete XRC package for my 06 Wrangler. Shipping was great, and the product quality is outstanding! Keep in mind you will have to remove body mounts to install sliders. It may be a good time to replace them if worn. I have been through 2 complete sets of bumpers from other manufacturers over the years. This is by far the best quality I have had. Not only do they make a great product, but they stand behind it. I took a shortcut on my drivers side slider and drilled the holes with it on. The drill rubbed the slider and took a spot down to metal. I emailed them asking the best way to match the texture. They sent out a complimentary can of exactly what I needed. Several coats, and its like new again!
I think "rock" sliders may be saying a bit much, rocker panel guard, YES! Installation instructions are a bit off but if you've made Lincoln Logs, Tinker toys and an Erector set work together you'll be fine.
When you drill the drivers side be careful, There are wires there.
Don't forget the rear body mounts and you may want to invest in an inductive Bolt Buster!
Paint your vehicle (unless it's already black) where the ends of the rocker panel guards meet the fender flares. By the way. I left my fender flares and worked the metal. Metal is far more forgiving than plastic.
Great rocksliders in matte black from Smittybilt. I installed by myself with some difficulty but I imagine it would be a very easy install with an extra set of hands.
