Not bashing the owners ETD, just the product.

Hey, no offense taken Sewie. I did not interpret your post as anything but friendly advice. Mine was too. When I bash em on the rocks and curse the day that I bought them, I'll let y'all know. Until then... TO MOAB

I don't wheel half as hard as alot of the members, but I have come down VERY hard on my OEM sliders more than a few times and only suffered scratches. A product worth the money.

Well, then looks are deceiving. I've seen them support the weight of the truck with no flexing.

More info on the gauge >>> http://www.rocky-road.com/H3rockrail.html

I love this pic.

Geez, I'm starting to sound like a shill. FTR, I have nothing to do with RR, just think they made a quality product.

Everyone has a right to their own opinion!

They look heavy duty but have a couple of questions. First, as asked before, why only three mounting points? Don't the OEMs use four mounting points? Second, doesn't look like they cover as much area, do they?

I am sure they are sturdy, just wonder why you would not utilize the four mounting points if you are going to have three. Why not just make it that much stronger, it's supposed to be as strong as possible right?

I posted this on the other thread also.

Babhumv had the Manik's which only use the outside two mounting points. One set of the inner mounting holes on the frame rail was covered by a label. I'm guessing they just missed it.

I am going to wait and see the RR sliders before I sell but They are already "Sold' pending approval of new ones.
