aFe Terra Guard Tub Rail Covers Jeep Wrangler JL 4-Door Hard Top | 79-25001

 

Overview

The aFe POWER Terra Guard Tub Rail Covers (Part #79-25001) are the definitive hard top accessory for 2018–2026 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited owners who love driving topless. When you pull your 3-piece hard top, the painted tub rail surface is left completely exposed to scratches, UV damage, trail debris, and moisture — these covers snap into place using your existing factory hardware to provide rugged, off-road-inspired protection with a finished, aggressive look. Purpose-built for the best Jeep Wrangler JL tub rail covers on the market, the Terra Guard is engineered by aFe POWER and designed, built, and tested in the USA.

Key Features & Benefits

• Scratch & UV Resistant XLPE Construction — Made from rotomolded Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE), these covers resist scratches, UV degradation, and impact so they can handle anything the trail throws at them, year after year.
• Unique Tire Tread Design with Spill Groove — The signature tire tread pattern and aFe POWER logo aren't just for looks: the integrated spill groove actively channels condensation, splashes, and spills away from your cargo area and to the outside of the vehicle.
• Anti-Slip Textured Surface — The aggressive tread texture provides a grip-friendly surface when accessing roof-mounted storage containers or stepping up to scout the trail ahead.
• 3D Laser Scanned for a Perfect Fit — Engineered using 3D laser scanning and CAD software with oversized mounting holes, these covers align precisely with your door jambs for a seamless, factory-quality fit and finish — no drilling, no cutting.
• Uses Factory Mounting Hardware — No Modifications Required — Installs using the original T-50 screws that secured your hardtop to the body. No modifications to the tub rails are necessary.
• Protects Your Paint Investment — Designed to be installed immediately after hard top removal, ensuring your painted tub rail surface is never left exposed long enough to be damaged.
• Optional Security Upgrade Available — Upgrade to the aFe POWER Terra Guard Stainless Steel Security Hardware Kit (P/N: 79-90001) for a tamper-proof, corrosion-resistant, flush-profile finish. Kit includes 8 stainless bolts and washers with a TT40 Torx key.
• 2-Year Limited Warranty — Backed by aFe POWER's limited 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects for total peace of mind.

A: Yes. The Terra Guard Tub Rail Covers must be removed prior to reinstalling your Jeep's factory 3-piece hardtop.

Installation

The aFe Terra Guard Tub Rail Covers are rated Skill Level 1 – Beginner with an estimated install time of under 30 minutes. Installation uses the factory T-50 hardtop mounting screws — simply remove the hard top, position the covers over the tub rails, align them using the oversized mounting holes with your door jambs, and fasten securely using OE hardware. No drilling, cutting, or modifications to the tub rail are required. For added security, the optional aFe stainless-steel hardware kit (P/N: 79-90001) features tamper-proof Torx head bolts that sit flush with the tread surface. Both the OE hardware and optional security screws store neatly in the factory hardware tray in the rear of the vehicle so they are never misplaced.
