I'm using your guide but when I enter the adb or fastboot commands it says command not found. I see both adb and fastboot in the s-off folder though?

Are you doing this with Linux? You may need to prepend ./ before the adb or fastboot command if you didn't follow my Easy Linux guide.
So your commands in Linux would be

If you're in Windows, make sure your command prompt is in the right folder.
If the above advice does not fix it, please do the following in your terminal or command prompt:
On Windows:

I just download them to my sdcard on the phone.
MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT ON STOCK BEFORE YOU DOWNGRADE THE BOOTLOADER.
Had to cap that as it's important.
Rename one at a time to PG86IMG.zip
Move the one you renamed to the root directory of your sdcard. (Make sure it's PG86IMG.zip not PG86IMG.zip.zip)
Then turn off the phone. Hold power and volume down. Follow the instructions for flashing the radio or Bootloader you chose to apply first. Should be using the volume keys and power to reboot when its done. Shouldn't take more then a minute for each one. :]
Then immediately reboot to android. (Hopefully you're on a ROM other then stock before you do the Bootloader downgrade for JB ROMs. I recommend Negalite Blurom. I use it with hboot ENG 1.04 and have used it with 1.50.50.)
After your booted back up to Androiduse your file manager and immediately delete the PG86IMG.zip off your root directory of the sdcard otherwise you can't get to the recovery through Bootloader which can be a problem with any possible future boot loops.
Then rename the other file (radio or Bootloader) to the same PG86IMG.zip and move to root directory. Flash with Bootloader same as the steps a few above this. Then reboot and IMMEDIATELY delete the file off the root of your sdcard.
You're done after this. Just verify your changes by booting to the Bootloader and looking at what it says.
Also if your Bootloader is locked at all, you can't use Fastboot commands. Idk if you installed the jbear hboot after you achieved S-Off or not. If you did don't worry about unlocking it because Jbear hboots are pre-unlocked.

OK so I messed up and was running stock when i downgraded. Can I put in a sd. Card with another rom and flash it or what do I need to do? I'm in a bootloop.

I would highly recommend that you do not use the SD Card method for flashing firmware files. It can lead to a big pain in the ass, to be short.
Put a ROM on your SD Card, format everything except the SD Card, and install the ROM. Once you finished with step two of the guide, you should have followed step three, which would have prevented the bootloop.
