If you can wait a couple months for them to be shipped these rock sliders are awesome
Haven't put on jeep yet so can't give true opinion
Any Salt Belt driven xj will benefit from rust mitigation. This frame stiffener is just what my auto body technician needed. The most common issue seen in the review pictures (seen here and elsewhere like naxja and jeepforum) is a rusted out Fuel Hose Frame Pass-Thru (if that's what they call it). Luckily, only the oval shield insert on the Fuel Hose Frame Pass-Thru needed to be re-fabricated. Frame steel good but stiffener's definitely needed. Opted against using Dirtbound's custom Leaf Spring plate that relocates axle snubber but had to deal with a broken snubber bolt (re-drilled and tapped) so had to enlarge stiffener relief hole for that snubber bolt. (will post pass side soon)
Ordered the Lower Quarter Panel Armor for my 2000 XJ, as there was terrible rust on them after taking the rear trim off. These are heavy-duty pieces! I knew what I was ordering, but didn't realize how heavy-duty pieces were actually going to be. Ready to go for any color you want to put on them, which makes customization a breeze. These are definitely going to be a great addition not just to patch holes, but for protection offroad too!
Thanks and quick service. Perfect fitment. Even had spot for battery temp sensor.
Haven't installed it yet I think it will be fine
actually i bought it for a 2000 suzuki vitara. made a couple mods to the brackets, drilled a few hole and its on there. fits as well as can be expected because its for a cherokee. im happy with the product i purchased, nicely cut pieces, and brackets. will buy again.
I've been buying from Max at Dirtbound for years and have had nothing but good customer service. Even during the pandemic.
Looks great on the Comanche! Fits perfect. Wish I had ordered the rear armor at the same time. Had a small issue with the brackets, but I emailed the staff and they fixed the issue right away. I am definitely gonna buy more stuff from Dirtbound. Happy to support anyone still making stuff for the Comanche!
I am very happy with my purchase from Dirtbound! Everything bolted right up and it looks great. Excellent quality.
I replaced two of these in my XJ’s. Always fit perfectly and are very solid. I’ve done a 2DR 5-speed and 4DR automatic. I pulled the console out in the 2DR. (Very easy) but left the automatic console in place so I wouldn’t have to disconnect the gear shifter.
These are nice sliders but the front attachment arm bracket on the pinch seam needs some tweaking. The bolts are just make it into the seam. The arm needs to be moved up just a bit. This is a common problem with this product.
I love the welding on it and it. It’s my cheap perfectly!
This bumper is so sick I love it. They shipped the wrong one at first but where fast to correct it
Whilst I am happy with the bumper, I am incredibly disappointed with the customer service and time to fabricate, which took 11 weeks to build, far past your lead times. I called multiple times during your allotted time for phone calls in your time zone. Nobody answered and my call was not returned. Would not order again
Solid product went right in and dominates the factory set up.
I ordered 2 sets of Brackets and beyond my wildest dreams did expect them to be Spot on perfect fit for what I needed them for I will purchase more for other Projects
Super strong, shipped quickly, reasonably priced
Everything was as described. I have zero issues. Welding and installation were easy and self explanatory. One recommendation I would suggest is for the recovery mount. Consider making that piece longer so that we could notch out for it and weld it to the mounting bracket that mounts to the vehicle. That would be SO much stronger than how it is now. But I want to make sure that everyone understands that I do recommend this bumper if you can weld. Also the bumper looks SWEET! Makes the rig look tough.
The frame stiffeners were a great fit With the exception of the passengers front piece. The bend was wrong. I had to cut at the bend and refit it. The driver side front piece was a perfect fit.
e
just what i wanted fit perfectly
