This review is for a 2025 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon X, 4-door JL. Overall, the installation wasn’t terrible, and I completed all of the work myself. I did run into a few challenges—below are my solutions.
The most challenging part of the entire installation is getting the bolt started on the driver’s-side bracket that mounts into the slit in the frame. There are a few instructional videos on YouTube that mention this and can give you an idea of what to do. The most important step is bending the wire so it follows the contour of the frame. I then held the wire with a set of Vice-Grips to align the bolt. I also used a slightly longer bolt to help get it started.
Product came in much sooner than expected. Quality packaging.
Some background first: I have a 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500HD, 4x4, double cab, long bed. I originally contacted ASFIR to see if they had skid plates for my truck. They have them for a standard bed but not a long bed and they couldn't tell me if they'd fit. They did send me drawings but it wasn't clear if they'd fit so I asked if they didn't fit, if I could return them. Nope. I asked for some type of discount to be the "test bed" but they weren't interested. During "Black Friday" the skid plates went on sale. I couldn't stack my military discount with that discount; ok, makes sense but I still didn't know if these would fit my truck, but still no way to return the items if they didn't fit. I decided to try any way and when I was checking out, there's an option (about $20) that allows you free returns, so I decided to try it, but no one at the company had told me about that option until I asked. Now, to my review. I won't confirm or deny if these fit the above vehicle or with or without any modifications (since I had to take a chance on this product on my own) BUT I will say this product looks to be very well built, arrived quickly. If you are going to purchase a product, the free return cost is worth it if you have to return anything as the skid plates are heavy duty. I don't know exactly how to rate this product so I'll just go in the middle for now.
Fast shipping and excellent tracking.
