Looks like I have some Pros & cons to weigh... So far I think I like the 4XGuard better than the others I've seen. Maybe I'll pay Doc a visit and see what he can come up with as an option.

FWIW, I think the perfect combination would be an added step extrusion on the 4xG sliders. They couldn't angle upwards because of door interference... but even if they came straight outwards to use as a step as well as added trail protection (from sliding sideways into a tree). It'd also help protect the side of the vehicle from rock chips with wider wheels/tires.
Supersliders offer more lateral protection than 4x though.
The ground clearance part didn't seem like such a big deal to me since it's still not the lowest part of the Jeep. Not to say that having them higher isn't a benefit when you aren't level while offroading, it just didn't seem like as big of a deal to me..
That sideways sliding protection is a big deal my B pillar has a dent in from such an occasion.

I just went through and read all the posts under the 4xGuard vendor thread and am pretty much sold on them

I was typing that last reply right as Matt was, so there is a little crossing of paths on it..
I agree though, 4x with a welded on step would have been a absolute purchase for me.
I sold my RR SuperSliders and Doc is making me new ones as we speak. I am in Oregon so I have not seen them yet but he might post some pics as he develops them.Originally Posted by XK N00b

encourage him to at least send you some pics so you can post them.
Just got a quote from HellBent Offroad here in St. Louis. They quoted me $300.00 for a custom set. They will mount like the Supersliders, but the slider would 2x3 inch square tube. Beats me if this is good or not, or if I should just suck it up and buy the 4x Guard and spend the extra cash.

From what I hear the 4xguard side guards are extremely well made. They are a little steep in price but i know there products are built to take a beating. Someday ill have the side guards, but who knows when that will be. I need to repair the damage first from not having armor there before I slap those bad boys on.
