Ouch. Hey Rat, wish I'd have been on here sooner and I would have steered you away from Crusty's. AJ's Armor and JCR Offroad have way better products at way better prices. Hope this doesn't create buyers remorse...

AJ's are $300 shipped;
http://www.ajsoffroadarmor.net/XJ_SuperRails.html

JCR's are also $300 shipped;

Both excellent companies with stellar customer service and they treat the XJ guys right. Rusty's... well let's just say I would STAY AWAY from Rusty's.

Yes i'm a firefighter/EMT for American Fork Fire full time. Been doing it 3 1/2 yrs now. If it's fire school at the Academy in provo prepare for a lot of PT. It a lot like boot camp in the military and they are going to punish you. it's a great experiance and they do a lot for you as far as training and helping you find a job. Once you get on a dept you will be the "boot" or "probie" so expect a lot of **** to come your way. Don't let it get to ya and just do the job, they guys will respect you once you've proven yourself. Above all else have fun cuz without being able to have fun shouldn't be doing the job.

If you have any other questions feel free to PM me.

My wife is a firefighter/paramedic with South Davis Metro. Been on the dept just over 5 yrs now, but is most likely walking away from it to stay home with the kids. She worked PT for Roy prior to that, and did lots of rides with Layton, SL, Logan, etc.

Got mucho respect for you fire guys. Cool job, cool career, great benefits.

My wife started out as a volunteer with Smithfield. That was way back before the whole valley wide thing they're doing now. Times have changed. She loves the Logan guys, and Smithfield too of course. If we ever move back up there she'd like to go back to work for them. Drawback is Logan brings the suck for salary, at least compared to what you can make down here.

The sliders look nice I'm still debating weather or not to add a similar round bar to mine. I bought the bar along time ago. Just been caught up with other things on my list.
