ive put on a few of these, they are pretty beef .



the JCR ones are nice, but the Rustys run .250" square tube, and the JCR only run .188". So the Rusty's are stronger. that would be the main difference, since both bolt to the pinch weld and frame rail


i would go with the Rustys over the JCR just because of the more beefy main tube

The Rusty's are 2x2 .250 tube, but the JCRs are 2x4 .188 tube so they are both strong as hell, but JCRs stage two are $100.00 less than Rusty's.

Yeah, I bought their front winch bumper, rear bumper, sliders, gas tank skid, and transfer case skid, so you gotta know that I like their stuff.

PS. They gave me a smoking deal on it all too.

I've been running Rusty's sliders for about two years now. They rock! I've beat the crap out of them and they never let me down.

Yes their shipping is ridiculous if you do the online shipping, its an auto shipping generator type of system. Call em direct and the rates are more reasonable.
