Default Inexpensive rocker protection

Anyone have any suggestions on some decent but inexpensive rocker protection... somewhere in the range of $200? I don't have a Rubicon, so I'm exposed to body damage, but I don't wheel often and can't justify dropping $500 plus for some of the armor out there. Also, I'd rather not get anything that requires drilling into the body.

Thanks much!

Look for some Rubicon rock guards here on the forum, they usually sell for cheap.

Holy crap! You guys are quick... I just friggin' hit the submit button. I can't tell you how impressed I am with this forum. I have seen time and time again how much everyone truly desires to help and offer suggestions. Thanks again!

As for the Rubi rails, I will definitely keep a look out for some.

x2 on these. I have them and have truly put them through their paces and have no marks or dents to show for it. These will hold up much better than the rubi rails.

Dont buy these if you have a 4dr......they flex in the middle and will dent your rockers. I am speaking from personal experience! if you're running a 2dr...then you will be fine.

I now have the XRC Rock Sliders.
