Review & Install Video
I'm Ryan from extremeterrain.com, and this is my review and installation of the RedRock 4x4 Door Entry Guards, fitting your 4-door 2007 and up JKs. Today, we're gonna talk through the installation of these door entry guards which is a very simple one out of three wrench install, you're gonna be able to get all four of these stuck down to your Jeep in about a half an hour because they do attach with just some 3M adhesive, making it very, very simple and very quick, but we'll talk more about the install in just a second. We're also going to talk through the construction and a few of the features of these door entry guards.
These are for those of you who are looking to protect that entry area of your Jeep. On our Jeeps, that top area of the rocker where the door closes is a painted surface without any protection from the factory, and it's very easy depending on who's getting in and out of your Jeep for them to wanna step on that area or slide their foot across it, which, of course, can scratch it, can rub off the paint, end up with rust or just something that doesn't look so good. So, this entry guard is going to both cover up any existing damage and also protect from future damage, and these are going to be a metal stainless steel version of these entry guards as opposed to some of the plastic ones that are out there. I really like the metal versions of these because I think they hold up a little bit better, and the fact that these are stainless steel means that even if you do get a scratch in them they're not going to rust like a mild steel would. So, I think this is a really nice choice of materials and also of quality.
So, as I said, these are a stainless steel entry guard which is something that sets them apart from some of the less expensive options on the market that are plastic. This does come with all four pieces you need for your four-door JK, of course, the smaller ones for the rear and the larger ones for the front. These are going to fit very easily and fit very well on your Jeep, they are that stainless steel material covered in a textured black powder coat finish, so in my opinion, they look good, they finish up the look of the Jeep, and they're gonna do their job of both protecting and covering existing damage. If you do have some pretty bad existing damage where you have a scratch all the way down to the metal, it is a good idea to touch that up before installing this, don't just put this over bare metal or you will end up just hiding a rust bottom.
Like I said, installation for this set of four won't take you more than a half hour, it's definitely going to be a one out of three wrench install. All you'll need to do is first clean the area where the entry guard is going to stick down onto the tub. Anytime you're working with 3M adhesive, it's very important that you get the surface nice and clean, and you can just use a good alcohol-based cleaner to do that. Once you have the area cleaned, give the entry guard a test fit so you know exactly where it's going to go, then you can peel the 3M down making sure you push this down in place. And if you do that and you follow those instructions with a nice, clean tub, these are going to stay put exactly where you put them, until you may wanna remove them one day. Because this is just 3M adhesive and no holes, these are completely reversible if that's something that's important to you.
Now, 3M adhesive does like to be applied when the temperatures are moderate, somewhere around 70 degrees. If you try and install these when it's very, very cold or very hot, you might not get the best adhesion, so do this in moderate temperatures, clean the area properly and these are going to stay where you put them. You can pick up a set of all 4 of these stainless steel entry guards for around $55, and as I said before, there are some less expensive ones out there, but most of those are going to be plastic. I really like the idea of having a metal guard and the fact that these are sta
