Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Went to the dealer for an Oil Change and walked out with a oil change and rock rails for $415.00.... Someone bought an H3 with the rock rails and didn't want them... Hummm maybe next oil change I'll get the UPC underbody protection....:D :D :D

lucky bish

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Way to go! :cool:

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

What lame a$$ didn't want rock rails:eek:

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

maybe it was that dude who was posting about lowering his H3 :rolleyes:

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Ha!!! :)

Mine came with side steps. Taking them off today. Not ready to pull the trigger on rock rails yet. Seems a little expensive. What are they? Like $650+?

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

I'm trying to wait for AMstar. They show nerf bar, rock rail all in one setup.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

got manik rails for 200

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

$400 plus shipping is a decent price, can find them cheaper though.

Careful taking the steps off, just noticed yesterday I still have a scar on my hand from taking mine off 6 months ago. They put mine on so tight when I was finally able to break the bolt loose I bashed my hand on the bracket :mad:

If you are gonna wheel...Manik's suck. I thought they were great for a while there until I hit them in just the wrong spot, then crrruuuunnncccchhh! BABHUMV's did the same. Like BAB, I contacted Manik and they confirmed that their rock rails are for display use only. They were "suppose" to come out w/ true off roading rock rails but I have yet to seet them. Anyone?

I'd be interested in AMstar's set up...otherwise, I might be having some fabricated.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Real nice! :confused:
Here's some rocker protection for ya. Oh, but it's for display only. It's not meant to protect anything.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

And you didn't even "hit" them. It was more of a just slide over the rock on them, not come down hard on them.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Tis true. :mad:
BTW: What made it even worse was when the rail crushed in, it somehow threw the alignment of my passenger side front door off. Kinda like it was sticking when you tried to open it. We had to take the rail completely off to get the door right again.
STAY AWAY FROM MANIK (rock rails).

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

point taken, they sould be more clear about that on the representation.
Wish me luck

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

They did hold up in Tellico last time but I guess two trips there was just too much for them :mad:

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

I looked all over the web for rock rails and it was either buy them from the dealer or from Manik.. I was just lucky and for the price I couldn't resist... But I am selling my side steps, since I need to buy the ones that fit onto the rock rails.. So anyone in So cal looking for side steps let me know... $350 and they are yours.... PM me if interested... Also, the parts gentleman at the dealership said he has take off's evey once in a while... So call, you never know... Weseloh Hummer San Juan Capistrano, Ca....

Hi
Do you drive your GTO as hard as you do the H3 ? :eek: :D :rolleyes: :cool:

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Hahaaa! You better believe it!:cool: :D

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

Here's a couple shots of Babhumv's prototype rails from Rocky Road Outfitters. We didn't test them too hard this week but they feel pretty solid and I like how they stick out farther than the OEM ones. Only a couple design issues that I personally would like to see fixed before they hit market.

Here's a close up.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

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.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

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.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
 

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
Tanner

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:

:OWNED: :giggling:

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.
