Well I found a set of Rubicon Production Rock Rails for a super reasonable price of $100.................

Depends on how much you want to spend, I think most aftermarket rails are going to run you $500 +

Default Rubi Rock Rails

Hey, is it just me or are the Stock Rubi rock rails body mounted. The brochure for the JK says that they are frame mounted in one area then states that they are body mounted in another. When I was under one the other day they sure looked body mounted because there was nothing in plain sight that was tied to the frame. Hmmmm seems odd for a Rubi since the fame mount are so close.

Dirty, it's nice to know they work when used. I love your JK its pretty sweet. It looks like you are running the stock tires? With the 2.5BB and the flat tops are you staying stock or going bigger. It would be a shame to waste all that clearance. Also did you alter the backspacing at all. It looks like the flat tops give you 100% coverage.
