Default Wrap Around or Straight Rear Quarter Armor???

Ok, so im buying some armor for my rear quarters on my 01' XJ. I like the look of the JCRoffroad quarters with light cut out with rail but the rail doesnt stick out far enough for me. OR Fab has quarters with a wider rail but it seems they only have the straight armor that cover the side of tail light. Ive come to terms with the extra cost of the new lights but not with that bogus rail and the straight doesnt look too bad either. Anyone know of some good ones???

Yeah i have 00 wj too, but i get like 15 mpg on the street id hate to think about on the trail. I wonder if jcr would do a custom rail if asked, cause the ares fab is more expensive and you have to have the halo tail light. I'm already going to have to rock the stock lights on bumper for while till i could get cheap lights.

I love my JCR ones. The rub rail is a multi tool. Armor and a great step to the roof rack.

They'd probably need a WJ to use as a template.

Lol. Ours are multi purpose too. Here's a rubrail before it was welded on. Think I'm going to add a bottle opener too. Haha. Oh BTW. You can stand on these too..
