rock rails
My EVOs are getting welded on this week. Ace's prices are good and people seem to like them but i don't want to risk my rockers with their mounting system.....I'm not an engineer but I don't think it is arguable that welding sliders to the frame is the strongest slider you could have. you're never going to read about EVOs failing or flexing into the body and thats the whole point of a slider!

If anyone has any other suggestions as far as a frame mounted slider that my 5'2" girlfriend can use to get in and out it would be appreciated. It doesn't look like she will be able to use the evo ones.

built my own and welded the passenger side because there is no clearance between the frame rails and the gas tank but was able to bolt through the frame on the drivers side with heavy wall 1'' pipe welded in to runthe grade 8 bolts through and they weigh about 80lbs a piece and I have had some brutal hits on the rocks with them and all the damage was some scratched paint on the sliders they are stout as hell so welding to the frame or bolting through the frame is the way to go!
I went with the ACE rails as well and LOVE them. They have protected my body from damage on numerous occasions. For someone to say that these aren't for people that wheel I would argue that point
Check out this video of me dropping my JKUR on the ACE rails and you can decide if they will stand up to serious wheeling.
