Re: Rock Rails, Manik Loses Big time!
Nice side-by-side. Even the OEM ones took a beating, but they definitely held up better. One side with a little dent and the other side pushed up a little bit.
It will be interesting to hear how Manik responds.

Re: Rock Rails, Manik Loses Big time!
Don't think there will be anyone that is surprised they didn't hold up as well as the OEM but damn, you beat the hell out them

Re: Rock Rails, Manik Loses Big time!
I bought some rock rails for my brother's Grand cherokee. they're very sturdy and tough. You could email the maker and see if they have plans for the H3...

I volunteer! Need a set myself and haven't had time to make them. I'm thinking 1" round tube DOM, w/.250 wall thickness. Will weigh 800#, but would never bend. |

Re: Rock Rails, Manik Loses Big time!
Aw, heck. As the Mrs. would tell ya: You get what you paid for. I see that the Manik rail did the job of protecting your H3, though. I bought mine because I am cheap and I think that they will do the job of protecting the sides of my truck. I don't mine replacing them if they get bent out of shape as I expect them to as long as the truck is protected.

That doesn't make any sense. Why not buy a better product that will last longer and do a better job?
Plus, with much more abuse, Babhumv's rails probably wouldn't have been protecting his truck. Perhaps, actually damaging it, or likely sitting on the side of the trail.

GM accessories direct has them for $459. I asked my dealer if they would match the price and they did! Bought them yesterday and installed last night......... |

Re: Rock Rails, Manik Loses Big time!
I'm too busy prototying a skid plate and other stuff (and Utah is too far), but somebody should take up Glenn Wakefield's offer at www.rocky-road.com. He wrote the following in response to my inquiry about H3 rockrails:
We do this [free offer] for all vehicles in prototyping. We just need a vehicle at our
shop for a couple days. We prototype, build, powdercoat, and install the
Rockrails at no cost in exchange for the time at our shop. If anyone is in
our area that wants fee rockrails, have them contact us.
