Default ?? for guys running quarter armor with the slider tube

looking at adding quarter armor in the near future guys and wondering the any of you have any reviews on the armor with the slider tube mounted just above the body line like ORFAB makes. is the tube helpful? will it make the situation worse where ORFAB has them and make the window pop etc easier? any input in these and if you highly recommend a certain kind please post the name brand etc. thank you

I have the ORFAB ones and they once saved the side of my Jeep. I like them and recommend them, to me they have great form and function.

I have received nothing but compliments on them and am very satisfied with them.

Its a 98 sport and I was very happy with the fit and finish, and yes I got the slider rail.

You can find it on Amazon for a bit cheaper with free shipping...if you're on the fence about it, get it, you won't be sorry you did.

I haven't seen the JCR ones but if they are as good as their bumpers, I'm sure the armor will be good.

I picked up a set of orf with slider off Craigslist last week for 150 nib. Install was a pain but they are nice covered most of my trail damage so I can see them being beneficial. Few tip no matter who's you go with use bigger washers your putting alot of pressure on the body, if your gonna cut the 1\4s do it all at once the drivers side is harder to install because of the filler neck could do it from the bottom.
