Default Or fab rockers

I'm picking up these rockers today. But, after searching for install pics, I see differences from what I'm getting. Most 2 dr sets I see on line curve back in the rear. These look like they stay straight. Are they a 2 door set or the front of a 4dr set? For the price, I don't care since they'll get beat up anyway, just wanted to know for sure what I'm buying.

Yes, thanks for stating the obvious. However, when I do a search for or fab rockers most of the pics show a different style for the 2 door. I'll find a pic to compare. I'm not wondering if these will fit a 2dr (they came off of an 07 2dr). I'm trying to figure out if there are two different styles of OR Fab rockers. Are these a first gen style? Any problems with the rear being straight like the cg ad ones.

Here is Or fab site picture. See how they curve back to the rocker in the rear on the 2dr.
The 4dr is two piece. The one on craigslist looks like the front of a 4dr set regardless of what the ad states.

Can you buy just the front or rear sections for a four door?

Hey StoneMill,

Those look like our 1st Gen rock sliders for 2dr JK and 4dr fronts. When UPS had a tighter length limit on it's shipments we opted to make our 4dr rock sliders in two pieces. The part number on that item was 84207 which is now just for our 2dr rock sliders. Since this guy doesn't have the hardware anyone that purchases this item I hope they PM me because I'll GIVE you the correct mounting hardware. I really don't want people getting "made in china" stuff and then complaining about our sliders.

Couple of things to note: 1) The bars extend out further on the 2nd Gen sliders so they function more as a step, 2) The back of the bars do not have a return and should be capped, this is functionally sound but some folks didn't like the look.

Hope this helps!

Yates

Rad. That was exactly what I was looking for. The guy has the plates that go in the body. Seller said I'll just need the carriage bolts and hardware for the pinch weld area. I figured I'd find it at the local Fastenal, but if I could get the proper OR Fab stuff, I'd like to go that route. Can you PM in regards? Thanks again.......

By the way... For me and for future reference for anyone searching, does anyone have some good comparison pics of the 2 door 1st gen vs 2nd gen sliders.
