Love mine but there are a few things to mention-installation on my Unlimited was complicated a little for 2 factors-1) One of the bolt holes lined up right w/the hump inside the body that supports the roll bar (couldn't use the washer unless I butchered it up) 2) same area was an issue for the under body mounting (drilled new hole in the rocker to mount) Other then that the powder coating is thin so be careful if you use c clamps to install-I left marks on mine from clamping them down. As far as quality of product they are excellent-You get more then your money worth compared to other brands-I bought mine from Ebay (bid daddy posts their product for sale directly) and got free shipping.

Got'em installed, no big sweat except the rear lower/under bolt hole in the back of each side is too far back and drillng a hole thru the floor from the bottom left me with no way to get the nut on as it is in a concealled area(hump). Another awl-damn'it was on of the rear side bolts galled when the nut was about 6 threads down

. I'll have to drill off the head and replace it. While I'm at it I think I'll find another fastener with the same style head (3/8 , 5/16 , or 1/4)to fill the rear unused hole. I know sounds anal , I was to lazy to weld it shut

Fit and finish is very good and appears to be as stout as I will require for my type of wheeling. Would I do it again,,,,,,,,,,,,,,In a heartbeat.

You need to use a small hole saw to make a hole in the "hump", then you can get to it. After it's installed, use a small rubber plug to plug the hole you drilled in the hump.

I've heard a step bit works pretty well too... does about the same thing.

I ordered the Hanson Enterprise rocker guards. Close to the same idea. I love the look of them. When they come in I will give an update on mounting and lots of pics...
