By the way, the 4xG rails weighed in at 54lbs per side and these are 43lbs per side! (Weights taken using a standard household scale, nothing fancy)

lighter is better and I proved they can handle the weith of our jeeps, so good job Jon!
Yep I was stoked to see the weight difference and figured I would share the good new. Not sure how many guys are going to remove 4xG rails and instal these, so I am happy to be able to do a side by side comparison.

We spun two nutserts installing on the WK in the exact same spot on both sides of the Jeep. I think its the shape of the body in that location that does two things. First it's a little harder to get the nutsert to sit and grab flush. Second the angle at which the bolt must enter threw the slider to the nutsert is a hard to achieve as well. This is really no big deal and easy to fix you could just tack the nutsert in place if you can. I just drilled out the nutsert and put a new one its place. So sending at least one or two extra serts with purchase is a good idea especially for the WK guys.
I can include extras, We installed Nathans using a battery powered drill with a socket to install the nut certs and they all went in perfectly. I imagine that it depends on the installation tools, experience and angle but my goal is to make the customer happy so keep the suggestions coming.
