I am looking at picking up some rock sliders and really like the body mounted versions. I have pretty much narrowed my list down to the following and I am not aware of others. Which design do you think would prove to be strongest and most functional?

River Raider
Hanson
Pure Jeep

I know Rock Hard and Fab Fours has a similar design, but they're too darn expensive. Thanks.

Here's the photos.

 

I can tell you the Purejeep mounts are straight through the tub with a crush sleeve and basically ties all the inner sheet metal into one solid piece. They wrap under the tub and against the frame.

I'm not sure how the riveraiders mount, I believe its with nutzerts

I installed them on my green two door, and now on my White rubicon. They'll take a hit for sure I pulled them off my wrecked JK for the new one.

 

Is there anything wrong with the nutzerts strength wise?

 

IMO, thats not the strongest way to mount them. If the JK sheet metal was not tin foil. They might work better.


go push on the side of the jeep under the atenna and tell me that sheet metal isnt junk.

 

How was the PJ install? Drilling the sheet makes me a bit nervous. Don't get me wrong I'll still do it.

 

its definetly takes a little nerves

I've installed three sets. Its really not that bad. Just take your time and make sure everything is lined up before you drill the holes. I just installed them on my rubicon lastweek. It took me about 4 hours.

 

anyone have any feedback on the hanson's?

 

I like the looks of the PJ's, but in my neck of the woods the mud would do you in. No place for it to go to. Nice shelve for it to stack up on.

 

Rock Hard's too expensive??

Check out their stuff. It is STOUT! with a capital F!

I keep thinking about the old Fram Oil Filter Guy. Pay me now or pay me later.

Fixing your Jeep costs way more.

Whacking the crap out of the body of your JK ain't cheap.

 

The Hanson sliders work great. They take a beating and the step is super functional, it is lower and makes getting in easier than a lot of other companies. The formed steel is super strong. I like the install of the Pure Jeep rockers better than the Hanson. Hanson will be changing our rockers to mount like the Pure Jeep Rockers. The Pure Jeep Rockers look great and are very functional. The dimples create good traction and ad strength to the tubing. Both are great rockers. You can choose by the look because both function well and are quality American Made products.
