Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Pretty sure it is.

From the Amstar site:




As I said before....They just look like tubesteps with modified brackets so they sit closer to the rocker panel.:rolleyes:

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Although, looking at the pic again it does look like there might be a plate on the underside of the step. They really need some better pics.

I still prefer the RR rails or the OEM ones.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Oh, yeah. I missed the "Step" in the description. It is a bad photo though of whatever they are trying to show us.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

okay, I finally put the rock rails and one set of U-steps on the H3... Here's a pic.....

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

How easily can you remove that step? I know the stuff I went over it would catch quite easily.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Here is another view of the Amstar rock rail. Shows the smooth underside which looks like is color matched with the rig.



Would be nice to slide over stuff, but being lower it would scrape a lot more.]

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Nice find. That pic confirms what I thought. They just modified the tubesteps.:rolleyes: Check out the bracket.

I think I'll pass on those.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

WoW! I really like the Rocky Road frame rails. :perfect10s: Does anyone have these installed? I need to know if the top of the rail is higher than the OEM chrome POS that I now have? Reason I ask is my wiff is a squatty body who needs a running leap to get into the H3 as it is now.:shhh: (She doesn't read these forums, yet. :twak: Guess I could call the company and find out.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Yes, BABHUMV's truck was used for the prototype. Don't know if anyone else has them yet.


Yes, they sit up against the rocker panel and the step portion actually angles up a bit.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Maybe I can get her a stepstool. :twak: I wonder if the UPC under body protection works with them?

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

BAB, I have the steps. I took them off before we left for Moab. There are four nuts for each step. "Bolts" are permanently attached to the steps and they just slide through the holes in the rocker protection, I then just tighten the nuts with a socket wrench.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

HMMM Maybe these would work better with squatty body wiff. Are these OEM, or after market?:rolleyes:

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

I found this description of the Amstar rocker panel protection


this helps to show how high these steps sit.


This pic is for the shock plate, but in the back you can see that the steps/rockpanels are not lower than the frame of the vehicle


So is the whole thing made of 3/16? or just the skid plate on the bottom? The Rocky Road rockrail is made entirely of 3/16. The oem rails don't specify how thick the steel is.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

This goes waaaay beyond this site.:OWNED:

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

you doth protest too much...

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Have you talked to them about the forth set of support brackets?? I ordered a set yesterday and talked with one of there sales guys briefly but he didn't know what I was talking about exactly but said he would pass on the info.

Chris

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Yes, I emailed Glenn at RR about it. He didn't mention why it was left off but I'm guessing they just didn't see the holes. They were covered by a label on the frame.

He did say they tested it as is and saw no flex. But he didn't say whether or not they would add the fourth support in the future.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Where can I get the Shock skid plates????? Called Amstar, they said I can only purchase from the dealer... The dealer (Parts Dept.) said they don't deal with Amstar.... :rant:

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Biggest mistake they could have made :mad:

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

I know when I put the OEM rock rails on my H3... I had to peel away the labels on both sides... Otherwise you wouldn't even see the holes...:D

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

I am thinking about ordering the Rocky Road "Rails" and was wondering if I would have to do any drilling in the frame or if all the holes line up? What would you say the difficulty in installing them are?

Thanks Gary in KY

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Uhm... have you seen that dude?:OWNED:

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

No they use the existing holes in the frame. I put the OEM ones on myself. Takes about 30 mins or so. Not really that difficult but an extra set of hands would help.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Thanks for the information...

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Yep, sure have. Doesn't look like a dude to me :p

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

That's a load of makeup.:OWNED:

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Stupid question time. Are the OEM rock rails any good?

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Held up for me through the Rubicon. :D

Well, at least once. ;)

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

That should work. I guess they are compatible with the OEM under carriage protection?

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

I just put the oem rock rails on. Very beefy. They are compatible with the oem under carriage protection.







Took just under an hour to install both sides. I would recommend a second set of hands to hold the rails. The drivers side was harder because you had to work around the parking brake cables.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

HMMM! Money, money, money. Too bad I don't have any more children to sell, and it takes too damn long to make new ones!:crying:

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

nice:beerchug:

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Well, I can tell you that I stested the hell out of mine today. That bottom tube on the rck rails is very important.... and they did their job today very well. I stood ricks up under them, dropped on them, and slid them across many rocks today. The factory UCP held up very well also. Scratched to hell, but no bending or even dents. very good quality! Just think if you bought some Maink ones or some crap like that. oooohhhh, I wouldn't want that invoice.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Looking good, H3slate. Now I know what mine will look like when I get them :D

Went on the Spring Creek run with timgco today and his factory rock rails were a godsend. They did their job perfectly under extreme conditions.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Have any pics? The pics from your first trip were awesome! :perfect10s:

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Yeah, didn't get as many as last time, but I posted them in the Photos section. Here's the link ...

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Those amstars rails are made of 3/16" steel so it should be pretty strong. It think thats what other rock rails are made out of.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Is that akin to 120 wall???

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

What design issues did u have? I saw them and wanted to get them, they say they are guaranteed for life.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Looking Good!!:beerchug:
