agreed. Theres a few things to focus on when buying rock rails, one thing is that link you put up is to a set that like comes out some, like it has an extra bar that comes out, that is a very good way to go since it will not only give you undercarriage/diagonal protection, but lateral protection as well for if your maybe going around a tree in a tight turn or something. The other big thing to focus on is how it bolts up. The teraflex ones (though they dont have that second bar of essential protection) bolt to your frame in 4 places, this may not do much, but they have yet another set of 8 bolts that attatch under your rockers, this grabs your frame with one piece of rigid metal and then grabs the body (well unibody) with the same piece of rigid metal, and thus holds your unibody in a solid stance. if you can aqquire these 2 features of rock sliders in one product you are good to go.

Mine are bolted with 6 bolts each to the frame rails and with 6 pinch bolts to the pinch seem.

Hope to be adding tube to them this summer..

It was about $360 US shipped (so like $350 Canadian, since our dollar is good right now!) A little expensive, but with the reputation they have, and the really good customer service they provide, I was willing to spend a little extra.

P.S. they have a few models, I've got the LP2 Square Outer Rail version coming, if anyone was wondering.

Later.
