I finally got them about 4 weeks later and was told my shipping would be refunded. Still waiting on that...

If they told me they needed to make them it wouldn't have been an issue, the fact I was lied to was what irritated me.

It's hit or miss. My order before that didn't have any issues.
Ah ok

I've heard a lot of stories about them. They're either excellent or tragic.

I'm pretty set on either one of those two. So far i've liked all my dealings with RuffStuff.

Sounds similar to your jeep stories.

Riddler or RuffStuff?

Eventually i'd like to get IRO's OTK steering if that means anything with clearance in the front.


I'd be interested to see what the different mounting depths are. I know that IRO has the Solid covers they try to get you to upgrade with, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are compatible with each other. I too am looking into diff covers.

Some people have had clearance issues with the ruffstuff cover, but you can easily solve that by bending the tie rod a bit to clear the cover, or by using offset TREs

Yeah, I'm over in Street. Don't go over to Forest Hill much unless it's for Chick-Fil-A, haha. I'll have to keep an eye out for your jeep!
