Moab in the hottest time of the year? You’re a strong man that I lol
I come from the lands of Siberia, we thrive in the cold.
I don’t know if I will survive this trip.. if not, my LJ goes to the next ROTM winner.

Corner armor will stop the body panel from caving in on something like that?
I installed that armor literally two days before that happened. I did not install any backing plate. I did have them with me, but we just ran out of time lining everything up to drill the holes. It was like 2 AM in the morning in Moab.
This was the result of that flop without any backing plate. I really can’t imagine what it would’ve been with one or without the armor all together. But, I expect it would not have been as bad with the backing plates. I’m really fortunate. I did not have any rear fenders on, so it was all corner armor.

Thanks for the info. Just for my knowledge, when a wrangler is rolled, is the roll bar the best place attach to, to pull it back on it’s tires?
Because bolt pattern. I already have Savvy cut corners on there. And GR put the tailgate skin bolt holes in the wrong places.
I hear savvy's tailgate armor is 1/8" vs. Genrights 3/16". Any ideas of why this would be?
Good to know about the nutsert locations.No idea, if accurate. All I know is that GR puts a row of bolt holes and nutserts right on an internal stiffener. Savvy put them where there aren't things in the way.

Woah, hold up. Can you please expand?

That’s is correct.
This is the savvy tailgate armor (right) next to GR corner armor.
I don’t know why.

Several reasons. You don't need the expense or weight of more material on the tail gate. It is more of a beauty panel than actual armor and only really exists to match the rest of the armor. The difference of 1/16" under the hinge side is of no consequence. The hinges mount to the face of the gate or the armor so you are moving the gate itself outward 1/16". If it ever becomes an issue, make a 1/16" shim and put it between the hinge and beauty panel.@mrblaine Why is the Savvy tailgate skin 1/8" vs. 3/16" Like most the other brands I see?
Will the difference in thickness cause any issues with hinges?
Has anyone used savvy sliders and nemesis hi-lines? I already have nemesis hi lines in the attic waiting for install but love the look of the savvy sliders
Unless you already have the Savvy sliders, it's unlikely you'll be able to acquire them new or as take-offs.
Just got a message from Gerald at savvy and he expects the savvy LJ sliders to be available by next month
You must be new here.
