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...

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

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.

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

[reddevil]

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

Looking Good!!

Got the Rocky Road rails in today and mounted(sorry no pics yet). I like them alot they are well built, strong(heavy), look great. I like the extra 3inches out the side of the truck. will take pics soon. Shipping weight was 110lbs.

[Sewie]

Excellent!! Post pics. DO NOW!!!!!!

I just got the Rocky-Road rails installed on my H2 today. I like them. Of course, you can't retain the factory U-steps...so we'll see how the family holds up without the lower step to get into the rig. So far, the 5 year old and 2 year old can get in without problems....

For the H3s w/rocky road rails:


Would you say the extra 3" provides adequate ding (parking lot) protection, allowing these to be a suitable replacement for the side assist steps? That's the only reason I keep my side steps on, and I need rock rails...so that would work out. Hard to tell from the pictures if it sticks out further than the door or not.

Dei,

Babhumv's stuck out far enough you could get your foot on them to get into the rig. But they don't stick way out.

Yep, they stick out a couple inches from the door. And they're angled up just a little bit.
