Hey, guys.
So today, we're checking out the Rugged Ridge All-Terrain Door Entry Guards, fitting all
2018 and newer 2-Door JL Wranglers.
So if you're in search of some small mods for your interior that are going to give you
a little bit of style, as well as give you some function in the meantime, this option
by Rugged Ridge is gonna be a great choice to take a look into.
So this choice by Rugged Ridge or this door entry guard is going to cover the complete
area of the door seal.
Now that's gonna be great if you're looking to protect your door seal and the paint on
your door seal from any scratching or any damage while you're getting in and out of
your Jeep.
Not to mention if you already have damage there, this is gonna do a really good job
at covering up that damage and creating a better aesthetic to the interior when you
open up your door.
And I really like the fact that this is gonna have a threaded pattern on the bottom.
Not only is it gonna give you a touch of off-road style, but it is also gonna give you some
traction for when you're getting in and out, considering that the door seals can actually
be pretty slick when you don't have anything there.
Now what I really like about this is the fact that this is gonna come up and over the door
seal.
So it's going to completely cover that whole area, unlike some other options that will
only consist of this bottom part.
Now, this is going to be more for somebody who wants more protection out of a door seal
guard or a door entry guard in comparison to someone who wants them just for style.
So if you are looking for that protection, this is gonna be right up your alley.
This is gonna be made of a durable thermoplastic material.
So it's gonna hold up for a very long time.
It's gonna have a deep black look to it and match with any trim inside your interior.
And if you flip this over, you can see that this is gonna have a large strip and a couple
of strips of 3M tape.
Now that heavy-duty 3M tape is gonna keep it in place for a very long period of time
and it's really not gonna move around anywhere when you're getting in and out, especially
when it is sealed inside the door area.
Now with all that being said, these are going to be roughly $40.
And in my personal opinion, I think that you're getting your money's worth with this set of
door entry guards.
Now, this may seem like a small product for $40, but this is going to have a high-quality
build, even for a simplistic product.
You can tell that the material is going to hold up for a long time, and it's going to
be flexible, and really mold to your door seal area, while also giving you a lot more
protection than some other options on the page in styling in the meantime.
So again, if you are looking for some custom off-road styling for your interior and you're
also looking for a ton of protection for that door seal entry, then this is going to be
a great choice to take a look into.
And because they do have 3M tapes, these are also going to be very easy to install.
I'm going to give it a one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter and you'll probably
need about 10 minutes to get these installed.
So speaking of that install, let's jump into that now.
The tools that I used for this install were a rag and a bottle of soapy water.
Before we go ahead and attach our entry guard, I do wanna make sure that this area is clean.
If we attached it with this dirt here, the adhesion process would be messed up, and we
wanna make sure that we avoid all of that.
So I'm just gonna take some soapy water and just clean this up, and then hit it with a
little bit of isopropyl alcohol to help the fusion process, and then we can grab our entry
door.
All right, you wanna make sure that the area is dry.
And remember, it is gonna go up on this ridge here and it is gonna cover this bolt up at
the front.
That's why there's a bulge there.
So you wanna make sure that everything [inaudible 00:03:46] is hit.
After it's all dry, we can start to peel some of the 3M back.
We're not gonna peel it completely, but we do wanna make sure that we have some strips
out.
What we're gonna do is line this up now, keeping these outside.
That bulge up at the front is gonna go over that bolt.
We're gonna start to stick this down into place, start to flow back.
Same at the bottom.
Once we get to the back, we do have that last piece of 3M.
So I'm just gonna peel that completely back or completely off.
We can secure that down and then continue with the other strips.
Now after those are out, you just wanna give a firm press, make sure that everything is
staying place.
Then you can repeat that process on the other side.
That's gonna wrap it up for my review and install.
