so i took the xj out for a afternoon of mud and trails, i was really impressed with how capable it was, but i learned the hard way about wrinkling the rocker panel just behind the passengers front tire, i slide off a rock and crushed it pretty good, oops, does any one have a set of rocker panel sliders or could recommend a brand

i built mine they are pretty simple but have worked wonders and they are a lot cheaper to build then buy. but if you are unable to make them they are almost all around 200 to 300 bucks
