commercial rock sliders

[Bronco]

Any one used the Rock Road rails. The mounting system looks Awsome!
I have considered making my own. Are you offering to weld them up for me? I just keep spending my cash on building my rig this winter and I haven’t had the lose cash for that MillerMatic175. My plan is to eventually weld the Sliders to a set of skid plates that cross from frame rail to frame rail immediately behind and in fount of the cross member. For now though I think I just want to get something so I can go play when the snow is gone.

Well, from the boards the following have gotten good reviews: C4X4, ORGS, Kevin's Parts and maybe even the Rocky Roads (That's if they have their new Inventory system working, otherwise goodluck).

Any of these should last your many seasons of hard wheeling, if they are temporary, then go for the best price. They are ecential for rocker protection.

BTW, I would offer help with the welding, but I would be borrowing Niel's here in Fresno or my Mechanic buddy (he has a nice Miller MIG and TIG, ) The only reason I can't help is lack of time. I can barely keep my junk rolling down the road.

www.jeepin.com Jason West has the step models of the rocky road rails. They stick out more than the "regular" models.

I will be getting mine from kevinsjeepparts.com. They are solid as any on the market, stick out a bit more and while providing a step they have a nice slot for the hi-lift. I don't think they can be beat especially for the price.

I have the RRO step rails also. Sorry for the poser pic but this is testing them out the same day I installed them. No pics of them on a rock yet. The fact that they stick out is very important I think. Kevins rock rails also seem to be very well made.

Your picture is an example of the main reason they stick out....the hi-lift jack. If they don't stick out, the high lift will be rubbing and crushing the door and body panels in when you try to jack your jeep up on them. Also you get a little extra protection from big rocks on the side.

how did RRO treat you

 

[EricsXJ]

They treated me OK except for the fact that they said it would be 2 weeks for the rails when in fact it took 5. The finish on the rails is also a bit "thin" and looks more like paint rather than powdercoat. After this first winter they are rusting on the bottom, mostly due to rocks being thrown at them from my tires but the chipping is more than what I would have expected. I am going to pull them off, remove the rust and bedliner them.

I have an 87 4 door, and I am running a set of Grizzly's on mine. I have had 3 good size men standing on them for counter weight due to to much over center problem. They are made of 3"x2" tubing, powder coated black, and mounted with self taping bolts. I can jack up my XJ on them, and they do not move at all, plus they keep the high lift jack away from hitting the door. They have saved my lower panels and doors from damage, especially when I have slipped off of rocks. And personally, they look great. Also, I loose no clearance at all. If you would like a picture, let me know.
Hope this helps,

Casper
