Has anyone built a set of rock sliders yet for their H3? I want to get a set (manditory equipment here in AZ). I would prefer not to have to get them from the dealer. I may have them fabbed up myself at a local shop.

the local dealer here mentioned close to $700.00 for a set, but is guessing because they dont have a listing for them yet. I am going to check with a local fab shop to see what they will charge.

Hi KenP,
I got a quote from a local shop of $500- $700. Timgco said it was high. I would not want the steps, I'd only be using them for wheeling anyway.

What type of shop should I be looking at?

These are the guys who I got the quote from:
Extreme Gear

It seems like they know what they are doing

I would look for a shop that builds rock buggys or baja rigs. That should be a very easy job for them. If you could get a set made for $300 to $400, I'd jump on it. Ask you local 4 wheel parts store who they would suggest going to. That's about all I cay say about a custom job.

Maybe ask them to give you a little better of a deal and you will pass the word around about their custom work.

I agree, see if they will do some qty pricing for members here. Or maybe see if Jason would be interested in carrying them. Just looked and my dealer wants $899 for them and the price list doesn't say if they are installed or not. They must be getting so real good crack over there

The Extreme Gear guys I went to are rock crawler builders and Jeepers. So I just want to see what other people are paying before I jump in and do it.
Here is a link to their shop photo:

Pretty cool stuff

I got them for around $400,00 from the dearler not installed. The bolts line up so you can install them yourself.

They are pretty heavy duty and heavy - at least 40 pounds each. I have picutes on my website.

I have already mentioned the interest that others have shown, my appointment was changed to thursday do to a military obligation that came up, I will update as i hear more.

Just me but if you use the slider, H3 Hummer wont you rip off the little step that you have attached to them? Kinda defeats the purpose doent it? Or do you remove them when you go offroad?
