    RuffStuff vs. TnT

    opinions on the two??


    ....other than just buying a crap ton of 3/16 and making them yourself...

      I just got a quote from hdoffroadengineering for 120 for the fronts

      97 TJ that I think is pretty neat.

        Ruffstuff hands down from the 2 that you mentioned.

        1. They have awesome customer service.
        2. Ruffstuff's extend several inches up the front unibody rails, TNT's don't.
        3. They also have a lip on the upper portion that spreads out the load on the floor sheetmetal.
        3. They already have the plug welds drilled, I'm pretty sure you have to drill them out for TNT. (I could be wrong about this)

        HD Offroad Engineering probably have the best package though for the front/middle/back.

              i like hd's kit, my thing is that i have a crap load of random pieces of 3/16 laying around, so i just want something for the main rails and then i was going to reinforce the front and the rear with what i have...... basically build off of the stiffener.

              thanks guys, think i'm gonna go ruffstuff, heard nothing but good things about them.

                ruffstuff is hands down the best for the middel o the yewneebodie. they tie into the floor and up the rails further than the rest.

                i run those with the hd offroad plates in front.

                hd offroad>tmr
                hd offroad has all the steering box and front bumper holes in thiers. tmr just ends randomly at the first steering box.

                and if you want them to actually stiffen the jeep, i highly reccomend plating the underside of the front rails too, especially around the steering box/trackbar area. one plane of metal doesn't stiffen much.

                      If you wanna get rid of some of those random pieces I could certainly use em. Need to beef my shit up for control arm mounts. Let me know
