Reviews for Rugged Ridge 11216.32 Front & Rear Entry Guards for 18-22 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited & Gladiator JT
Happy with the product. Fit very well and installed easily. I suggest that you just take your time and make sure they are where you want them because they stick on great with the 3M tape.
Fit great on the Jeep Gladiator. I've had them on for about a month and no issues at all. I can vouch the Rugged Ridge sills are better than Mopar for this item. I originally bought the Mopar ones, but send those back and didn't install them as they didn't cover enough surface area and looked like cheap plastic. RR is a hard rubber and more coverage over the paint, also just look better.
I’m very, very happy with my purchase. First they’re made from a high quality heavyweight rubber. Easy install with high quality 3M double stick tape. They cover the area to be protected better than the Mopar version. A definite must if you’re looking to protect the door sill and provide traction when getting in and out of the vehicle in slippery conditions.
After reading reviews about the Mopar product and even the Rugged Ridge product on other websites, I ordered these from Quadratec in hopes I could make them work. Many reviews out there talk about deformations, gaps and general fitment problems. I measured carefully like Eric R. said, cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and carefully peeled off the adhesive backing while working from the rear to the front to ensure a tight fit against the factory plastic flooring material. End result was a perfect fit with no gaps. Therefore I am extremely pleased with these and only regret was the analysis paralysis I brought on myself by reading too many reviews outside of Quadratec. Bottom line: Buy these, install carefully and you will be a happy camper.
I originally ordered the MOPAR door sills. They showed back ordered for several weeks, so I ordered the Rugged Ridge sills. They arrived the same day! I opened both, and the Rugged Ridge sills were much nicer, and a perfect fit. I will be returning the MOPAR sills, which, really should have been part of the purchase.
Love these! Far better than the MOPAR guards by my experience. Covers all the painted metal between outside below the door, up to the interior plastic trim beside the seat. Great coverage. I even added some extra 3M heavy duty tape to the guards to ensure a long lasting stick, but the factory stick on these should be just fine.
Clean everything and apply... placement is critical, take your time. Mark where it goes before peeling the backing off the adhesive strip. I only peeled back a little of the backing(on the longer sections), set it in place then continued to pull the backing off to ensure it is in the proper place.
Larger coverage area and value
Covers most of the door sill
They stuck in and have stayed on. Protects as advertised.
