Check out JCR's ultimate sliders. Somewhat the same idea except that they may provide some actual protection. They use screws as well.

X2... Not a fan of diamond plate on XJ's. Maybe because all of the redneck F-350's with 6 feet of lift here are covered in it...

Just want to post this here for anybody who comes across this thread. I came across Richliveshots search and rescue build thread and he does an awesome job of making the exact kind of side panel covers I had in mind when I first started this thread.

Here's the link : https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/my...j-build-74916/
