Reviews for Quadratec QRC Rocker Guards for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

Installed with relative ease. Small hands would have really helped.

These look good, they fill an empty space, and they are functional as they protect the body beneath the doors. The only issue I had installing these on my used 2013 JK was that the holes under the pinch frame for the 8 x 35 mm screws to hold the guards fast were a bit corroded and I could not get the thread started. A trip to a hardware store and purchase of self threading 8mm metal screws resolved the issue and they are nice and secure.

This is a review for the rock guards with out the steps. Install was kind of a pia with the button head screws, the Allen key they sent is pretty much worth less due to the top tube running across where the holes are for the screws. Defiantly buy a metric allen set that have the super long stems and a T handle. Also put the bottom bolts on first, but not tight, to hold the rails before putting in the button head screws. Way easier if you are installing them by your self. The other reason for 3 stars is the welding on the tubes while i believe its strong there is a lot of under cut. Also where its notched out on the brackets to clear the bottom of body seams on the jeep the welds are laid in pretty thick so you dont have quite enough clearance to suck everything up tight. Fix the welds quality, and change out the button screws for a bolt or supply a much longer allen key and its a 5 star product. The finish seems quite good and the packaging insured everything came with out scratches or bends. Also you can easily remove the logo if you so choose.

First, the good. It appears to be well made and looks great once installed.
The bad. It takes four bolts on the side and two on the bottom. The slots on the bottom of the guards did not fit. I had to take the guard off and file the slots longer. Once the slots were enlarged the guards were easy to install and look great.

Nicely finished but did not fit my 2017 JK very well. On the passenger side I had to drill out two of the pinch seam mounting bolt locations on the rocker guards. They would not fit as they were. This was my 4th and final purchase from Quadratech. Everything I have ordered has failed to fit my vehicle without some modification or being completely un-fittable. Their parts look nice but the fitment is poor.

They're pretty, they're cheap and were fairly easy to install, but spend more money and get something more substantial if you plan on actually using them out in the wild. They bent and tweaked the metal around the pinch seam on my JKU after limited use on rocks. Excellent protection from shopping carts at the mall, however.
