Default Rock Hard Tube style rocker guards

I did a lot of research on which rock rail/step I was going to purchase and ended up deciding on these Rock Hard 4x4 tube style rails. I could not find many pictures or info on them aside from their website. So here are a couple more for anyone considering these. I was very pleased with the install and the fit and look is exactly what I wanted. The install took me right at 1 hour and the only modification I had to do was drill out a couple of the pinch seam holes to make them a little larger. I will say that the instructions are either wrong for my application or wrong all together but it was easy enough to figure out with the parts that were provided.

Thanks for your post - I've just ordered these and am anxious to put them on.

How well do they protect your pinch seam? No need for the Rubi Rails like with the Ace?

They surround the pinch seam so you won't see it at all. I don't think they will even fit with the rubi rails as they sit a good bit higher than the ace rails. You will love them. I just reinstalled them again today after bed lining my rocker panels. Maybe took 20 minutes by myself to install. They feel like they're welded on! Awesome rails!!
