Those are AJ's 3/16 Super rails

He makes a couple of different styles. He is a 1 man operation and takes him a bit longer then some of the others, but they are worth it.

I like those and they can also provide somewhat of a step up for those short folks like my wife and kids..

How hard were they to install? I assume it requires some drilling?

Very easy to install. Does require drilling a few holes. Took me about an hour by myself using a floor jack and a couple of floor jacks. There are very good instruction on AJ's site. He is an awesome guy to deal with. My next purchase will be on of his bumpers. I like the extended rails, saves the doors and like was said easier for my daughter to get in and out.

The black and yellow combo always looked good to me. What are you using for a tank with your on board air? I have the same compressor and I love it.

I noticed that you took the side molding off, did it take any paint with it?

No problems removing the molding, the worst part was getting the glue off from the 2 sided tape they use to attach it. I used a heat gun to warm the molding , pulled right off. The tape I used acetone to help soften it and a plastic scrapper to get it off.

I saw this jeep months ago and didn't know what forum you were on. This is one of the cleanest jeeps out there. Mine is an 01 but it is black. It is too stinkin' hot. Wish it were yella!

Never seen you on the road just on some different forums, and I can't remember which ones. It is just sharp!
