Ok, first, sorry I'm horribly delinquent in getting some info posted on my RRO Supersliders -- it has been an insanely busy summer.
Second, if I had felt RL was a viable option for rock rail sliders at the time, I would've bought from there as RL has tried to actively support the Liberty aftermarket and without the constant condescending tone and berating of others that seems all too common from RRO in my opinion. That said,
RRO did a good job keeping me informed of my order status. When I ordered, I gave them a deadline of a specific calendar date (of 2.5 weeks after order if I recall correctly) so I would have 2 weekends to install and deal with any issues before heading to
LJS '09. My order actually shipped a little before the deadline and I was provided shipment tracking info. I was satisfied with how my order was handled.
Ok, here's the RRO Supersliders at receipt:
Installation was ok, though not as refined as it could have been. The instructions were for a KJ which wasn't quite the same as my KK install required. I'd have to go dig up my notes and mark-ups to get specific. The driver's side rail fit better and tighter than the passenger side rail. Both rails required some shimming where the mounting plates mount to the tubular "frame rail" drilled & tapped holes. The angle on the mounting plates was incorrect (assuming my KK that had never been off-road at that point was true). Here's a few installation photos:
Ok, now a few shots of the end result:
The rock rail and slider rail portions are definitely heavy duty in my opinion. In my opinion, I think the attachment to the KK formed "frame tubing" could be more robust, but I think it will probably be plenty for my needs.
and to hrogi, here's the top-down photos you've been so patiently waiting on
:
I am able to stand on the slider part of the rock rails when washing the top of my KK. Given the height of my KK and the slider rail extension, I do notice that the lower part of my leg sometimes brushes against the slider rail. After a week of wheelin' in the Colorado mountains at LJS '09, you can see a "clean spot" on the slider rail in the below photos:
So far, this hasn't been an issue for me. When I'm in town and at work, I have to wear dress slacks and any slight brushing against the slider rails hasn't been a problem yet. We'll see if that is still the case as I go through my first winter with them....
After wheelin' the trails around Ouray, Colorado during
LJS '09, I'm definitely glad I installed rock rail sliders (of any manufacturer) as I know my RRO Supersliders took a few hits and dings that would've possibly wound up on my lower quarter panels.
Hope this info helps. Sorry it took me so long to get some info on my RRO Supersliders posted.
