Maybe someone will use a triple mounting system to make them sleek and strong as a bull.
J, I was really surprised yours held up as well as they did. Everytime I saw you bump them I thought about the nuts pulling out of the metal.

So the 4xG ones are no good, if you actually use them. What ones do you have Tymac. I dont want something that will cause more damage.
2007 Jeep Commander: QTII, Leather, Sunroof, remote start, OEM Skid Plates, 2 in Daystar lift, 255.75.17 BFG Mud Terrains on Moabs, 1.25 " Spidertrax wheel spacers, 4x Guard front guard and Side Guards, Optima Red Top, Robbys half inch leveling spacer, Bilstein 5150 Rear Shocks, Pinch weld mod and trimming!
Just for a bit of reference information, I would not recommend referencing p@55word's p@5t experience with those of the Side Guard 2. As I explained in the "other" forum at one point, the fellow who made p@55word's rails built them with no internal gusseting, no external stiffener, no internal stiffener, and seemingly without any sense of the engineering behind the bends in the steel. I would have been shocked if they hadn't bent all to heck!
Also, quite contrary to what Doc says, the attachment points along the top edge of the Side Guard do not hold the weight of the vehicle. (Doc seems a smart fellow, so I'm assuming he just didn't look at them very closely before making that accusation.) The attachment points on the top side almost entirely aesthetic. On one side of our WK test rig -- the one we like to bounce on things -- we have only the bottom bolts attached, nothing on the top side. It hasn't been the slightest problem.
For what it's worth, the engineers at Jeep apparently, um, agree with our engineering. (I'd like to use another phrase or two for what they've done, but I don't think I can legally do so!)

Gotcha, and since I am not part of you guys, it looks like they Screwed you all and stole your design. The Front guard is I got is great, so I did not want to assume anything. Thank you Michael. Oh and I came accross your Blog when googling 4xguard, great read.

Pulled the plug on the 4xguard rails and the belly guard, as they will soon no longer be in business. I already have the whole 4xguard front brush guard and can't wait to add more of their very well made products to my rig.

Sounds good adding parts is always fun. To bad its under these sad circumstances.Originally Posted by psycho787
I agree, I really wanted to progressively add their products over time, but when I found out they were going out of business I purchased what I believe to be their two most purpose built products.

In still need to pick up the front skid & rear sliders.
I already have the rest that I want from them. I am talking to a welder to make me front & rear bumpers here that local, cost to much to have them made out of state & shipped here. Hopefully either by the end of the year or the begining of next I should have them on (god willing lol)

(Happy Jeep)
I don't want to side-track this thread too much, but just FYI: the Rear Sliders are gone and we have less than a handful of the BLACK Front Guards left (we have quite a few more in silver).
