Do you use the rotabroach while the armor is in place using the armor hole as a guide?
I’m doing some new armor and taking better notes this time around…

Yes, the bit centers perfectly on the armor hole.
I always use the armor holes. Quick, easy, accurate.
I have the corner armor and mini boatsides in my Genright cart.

Don't buy the mini boat sides - they compromise more than they're worth.
They’re the second best option to Savvy (which are unavailable).
At least wait for a decent sale. I got mine just a couple weeks ago for around 400 under retail, which makes it more manageable.

That savings can go right back into replacing their little angle iron tub backer with a full sized aluminum one and the tube step with a lower profile rub rail.
And get some Phillips hardware.
And at that point, why not just make your own slider and put the holes in the right places.
As a bolt on solution that works for the vast majority of folks, the GR is pretty dang good.

After you use the armor as a guide what tool do you use to open the hole to fit the nursert on the body?

Finally you may be starting to see things the right way

I can acknowledge the design features. Whether they matter is an individual decision.
None of these are deal breakers for me, and the infamous step is actually a benefit for my use.

Doing that should be a whole lot easier than it was.
I can only imagine.
And that’s why I’ll stay with these. At least until the stretch and 40s happen in 10 years.
Steelyace, thank you for the great write up and I am about to do the same install on my 04 Rubicon and have a couple questions for you.
- Did you grind off the old nutserts for the lower fender flare attachments (thinking I should do that for the factory rock slider attachments and flares)
- How come you didn't add a rock slider attachment to the front fender (thinking to add one just to minimize any potential relative movement between them
Thank you,
Scott

I honestly didn't remember, thank goodness for pictures.
. Yes....yes I did grind those off!And I didn't attach it to the fender because genright didn't have provisions for it and I'm guessing there is a reason they didn't, but maybe not. Also it might get in the way for future plans
!
I don't think they're that detailed, after all I removed these sliders to go custom due to the step being too low and hanging up on it too much.
They do look good though.
