Making enhanced Rubi rails 4DR and 2DR
This is a great idea about the added tube wish I had done it before I slammed my rockers into a rock. Just so everyone knows the flex is bad it means when you hit the rocker hard the whole thing bends into the body trust me I know. I think I will add tube and reinforce the mounts. Wish I knew how to post pictures..

I'm definitely going in that direction. When my neighbor moved he left me alot of Rubicon stuff, including the rails. Much cheaper to have them mod'd than spend $400 - $500 for rock rails.

I want to do this exact mod to mine. $150 seems like a good price. I contacted a local Craigslis* welder and he quoted me $215 complete and wouldn't budge because he said it would take him 3 - 4 hrs. Seems high to me.
3-4 hours? For what? Do the prep yourself! Shouldn't take more than 10-15 mins a weld. I don't think, anyways.
Seems high to me as well. I would call a few more for a quote.




I've just not had the time to do it. Maybe I'll work on them again soon and show the next stages I come up with.
