Part #:
Door edge guards are not something you typically think about when you have a off road vehicle. I always thought them as something for passenger cars. My garage has a small extended workshop area on the one side so I am able to park in the garage with the Gladiator. I end up parking as far over as I can since someone else hogs the garage with her Honda. I end up opening my door against the shelving unit and shimming sideways to get out of the Jeep. The door edge gets pressed against the metal and wood of the shelving unit. Eventually the door edge gets chipped and starts to rust. On the other side of the Jeep my passenger doors get opened up into the Honda, no matter how far over I parked someone always needed to cuddle up next to the Jeep with their car. This typically ends up with paint transfer from the Jeep to the Honda. Don't know why I didn't get white paint on the Yellow Jeep, but the yellow showed up on the white. I always ended up having to claybar and polish the side of the Honda. I decided to pick up some door edge guard for the Gladiator to protect the edge and save me some work polishing the Honda.

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work. While I have spent many years working on mechanical systems, I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. I hope these write ups have been useful to you.
