Like what?

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Any Idea on cost from Rocky Road Outfitters????

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

$369 plus shipping. :)

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

I went out to their site and it looks like these are available now. What were the design issues that you didn't like?

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

They only used 3 supports instead of four. The fourth set of holes on the frame rail were covered by a label so I'm guessing they missed them. Still very solid, but if the holes are there, might as well put a support there.

Also, one of the cables for the parking brake was run under one of the supports.

When I was in South Bend, Manny told me that Amstar products were developed because the factory protection, even the upgraded stuff, wasn't holding up on the AM General test track. So I'd put my money on the Ambest, whenever it becomes available.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Amstar/Starcraftparts - So far, what they have on their website is very pricey!

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Are the ones on the Amstar site even true rockrails. They just look like tubesteps with modified brackets so they sit closer to the rocker panel.:rolleyes:

I actually really like the Rocky Road ones and will probably buy a set when I finish destroying my OEM ones :D if there is nothing better on the market. There's just those two items I think should be addressed.

Sewie do you think the Rocky-Road rocker protection could be used for a step also. I am looking for rocker panel protection, but my fience is constantly complaining about it being so hard for her to get in, so I thought I might could kill two birds with one stone. Let me know what you think.

Thanks

Sewie, thanks for the pics. it was hard for me to get pics when I am driving. And Sewie, I did come down very hard on them about 2 minutes before the tie rod bent, and at the first obstacle on steel bender were the winch was used. In my honest opinion, I beat the $hit out of them. They held up great. As for the question about the step. As soon as I told my partner Kurtis to use them as a step when getting in, he did and they work great. You can also stand on them to get to the roof very easily. My opinion, is that they look really cool with the second bar coming out, they are very functional and strong, they come with a lifetime warranty, so go ahead try to bend them, and they double as a step to the roof or entry too. Well worth the $'s. They have looks and functionality, so they are decorative, strong as He!! rock rails.

:perfect10s:

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

This is on the way down to Hell's Gate obstacle. You actually have to use the rock rails to slide down. Too cool.:D

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

So - when can we order?

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Should be now! :) They're on the website www.rocky-road.com

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

No problem. :D

BTW, I emailed Glenn at RR and he said the cable should be easy to relocate and when they tested the rails they didn't notice any flex. And seeing them in action I'd say they did really well. He also mentioned the lifetime warranty. :cool:

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

DRTY...I (and others) are beginning to think you're infatuated, maybe even have a crush on me. Why do you think of me so much?It's really to flattering. :OWNED:

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

BUWAHAHAHA!!!!!! You must have me confused with your obsessed puppy. You keep telling yourself how everyone wants you and I'll keep laughing at your delusions. :giggling: :OWNED:

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

I think she only mentioned you :twak: :D ;)

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

I don't think what is pictured for "Rocker Panel Protection" is supposed to be highlighting the step looking object. I think we're supposed to be looking at something else, but I can't figure out what. I know the "Shock/Axle Skidplates" are pretty HD looking in person, because I remember laying under this vehicle and looking at them. I don't remember the rocker protection however.
