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!

Thanks WOL for the close up of the part number (and all the coverage) - just ordered mine!
Best price I found was $508 on justforjeeps.com if anyone is interested...

There have been a quite a few of these on display on both the 2-door and 4-door JK's here at the show. From what I can tell, these are in fact factory Rubicon rails with tube side steps welded onto them. And, based on what I've learned from Mopar, I'm going to guess that these will be a future ORT performance part that they will make available to the public.

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!!!!!
