Reviews: Body Armor RockCrawler Side Guards (Black) - WU-4121

Loook good, heavy duty

These fit perfect & bolted on in about 15 minutes each side. That's getting tools out & all!! I installed these by myself.

This option requires no drilling of your Tub/Body and no drilling of your Frame, as compared to other rock guards. I plan to avoid rocks, but the heavy duty steel in these Side Guards will protect my tub from rock hits. As my LJ is my daily driver, I plan to do moderate off-roading. The Guards are 30 pounds of steel each.

Uses 3 existing body mount bolts on passenger and drivers side. Since I didn't have a buddy to hold the guards up, I used a floor jack to lift it into place so I could get the bolts started. No drilling, a key point for my 05 LJ Rubicon Sahara limitied edition. The textured powder coat finish looks great. The squeaking was easily fixed by adding some washers in between the lower body mount and the guards to create a small gap in between the body and the guard. The contact with the body is what caused the squeaking. I used 1 1/4" OD x 1/2" ID x 1/16" thk galvanized washers to shim the guard away from the body. I also went through the trouble of using these washers to make the guards parallel with the bottom edge of the body. (note: this is how they reccomend eliminating any squeaking from the guards IF it happens)

I am not huge into off road abuse of my jeep (yea, I guess I am a yuppy) but these are easy to install and look nice on my jeep. Nice powder coating and they look like they would hold up well if you were to truely use them for rock protection.
