Okay, I just found out that these rails are exactly what are on the Rubicon's now with the addition of the tube side steps. And, these do have a part number and will be available for sale now. I will post more pics on this shortly.

Awesome thanks for the pics wayoflife. Its exactly what I'm looking for. Not crazy about body mounted rockers. Love the shrockworks ones but they seem pretty heavy. You know of any other company that makes rockers like this or shrockworks but are strictly frame mounted and weigh less than shrockworks?

The factory Rubcion sliders I had modded by a local fab guy are holding up great. I have smacked them on several big rocks, and used them as pivot points around some big rocks and trees. They haven't dented or bent, only gotten some surface scratches in them. I had my tubing angled upwards some, I like the looks of it better that way, and it provides a little extra protection. I would NOT use them as a jack point for a high lift though, I'm not sure the factory body mount areas would hold up to the weight.

I just put a set of the factory rock rails on my unlimited Saturday! They are available. I have a set on order for my wife's 2 dr. They mount exactly where the Sahara steps mount. 6 screws in the pinch seam and 3 bolt into the tub. Weigh about 50-60 lbs each. Hell with all the new stuff, no wonder you need a turbo powered V-8 to move the damn thing up a rock!
BTW....... I like em alot!!!!!

I've beat up the stock Rubicon rails pretty bad and they can definitely take more than a mild scrape on a rock. Heck, you were there when I slipped over a foot onto that boulder in Holcomb Creek... banged the rocker so hard the Jeep turned itself off and not even a ding. They're actually surprisingly strong rails!
