Rock Sliders / Rails

Unread post by DaThug »

I'm looking at these as they will fit with the rails that came with the Jeep. Does anyone have the rail/sliders and how do you like them?

Hey Marcy, I don't have these, but they definitely hang down low and will hang you in stuff probably sooner then you'd like. Find a set of sliders that replace your current ones that mount solidly to the frame and provide great protection.

Thanks Dan, I wondered about that as well. I'm looking for the protection as well as can be used as a step into the jeep. I'll look for some that are sturdy and stick out a bit, but don't have that lower under railing.

If you want to stick with the tube look I would recommend something like this.

If budget allows though go for something like these. They huge the body more and give more solid protection.

I like the look of the second JCR ones, but that all depends on budget.

BTW as you are already working with Scott, did you ask him? I know he has built some in the past for folks that were about indestructible.
