Thanks for the compliment. I am friends with the owner of the shop. We built them together. I think forum rules would probably prevent me from commenting on some of that stuff (I'm not trying to pimp his products, as he is not a sponsor). I will have to say that they are super strong. I have beat on them hard and they haven't moved. You could hang the Jeep from one of them and they wouldn't budge at all. They are not bolt on and are a 1-off custom build. Good luck.

you can comment, just no clickable links..


IMO rockrails are not the place to go cheap on them. if they break its going to destroy the tube, I had a set similar to the RR on my TJ. It didnt work out so well...

I made my own rails. If you know how to weld or have a buddy who can weld they are pretty easy to make. You can have a muffler shop bend the ends for you and make the rest yourself.
