RockRail Sliders Arrived.

[Gottmud]

I finally received the Rock Rail Rock Sliders I ordered 3 weeks ago. The passenger side was an easy fit, everything lined up really well. The driver side was less easy. The only way I could get the center bracket to line up with the holes in the frame was to use a comealong to pull the bracket over enough to get the bolts started. I admit it was only about 1/8", but it was enough to cause a problem. The quality is very good, and they are really really tough looking sliders. I look forward to the first 'Sliding' adventure.

I don't think I saved over the OEM rails but these thing are built like a battle ship. I jacked H3 up with hi-lift off them and had no flex what so ever. They look awesome on the truck. Haven't really looked at the OEM rails to make any comparisions.

HJ next time I see you I'll have to take a close look to see how they are built and mounted. The Rocky Road ones have three mounting arms made out of what looks like 3/8", the arms appear to be 1" solid stock to the under rails which are roughly 2" square, the outer rails are 1 1/4" round with 1/2" stock connecting them to under rails.

Paul, what did those rails cost you? I can get an OEM set for $500, I hear they fit fine.

Yeah, they have a little trouble with quality assurance!!

[SR1355]

Mine have been on order for about a week, I'll hopefully not have any problems with install. I'll post pics before, during, and after install.

Just got UPS notice that rock rails are on their way.

Delivery date in 11/6, Monday, hopefully they'll show up on Friday. I taking the day off to build rear storage drawers. It'd be great to get a hold of these and install them Friday.

My slides are in Hodgins, IL according tp UPS. Two days from Salt Lake City, that's pathetic, I make that drive from MI in 1 day, but then again I'm a little nuts. What is longest you have driven straight thru, My record is 34 hours. Left Jackson WY, drove to some god foresaken place in ID, turned around and all the way to Jackson, MI. Killer!!!!

[Crash ?]

It wouldn't matter if they had them on the truck driving up and down your street right now.. If the delivery date UPS has is Monday they will NOT deliver them until Monday..

I had a package shipped Ground to me a couple of years back via UPS.. It was shipped from Nashville to Memphis.. It showed sitting on the Memphis UPS docks for 3 days.. On the 4th day I called to check on it.. On the 5th day it showed back in Nashville and had NEVER made it to the Memphis hub.. On the 7th day it was on my doorstep..
