Default Rock Sliders?

Any suggestions on a good pair of rock sliders. All it took was one trip to Rausch Creek for me to realize I need them.

Lol, I want to get some too after that trip. Hopefully I can find some cheap because I have been dumping money into this thing since I put it on the road 2 months ago. I replaced the ignition coil and thermostat this weekend so hopefully that will fix my two issues from that weekend. Good luck on your search.

I was in front of you almost all day on Sunday so you probably saw me beating them up pretty good. I am gonna order some in a few days. I'll let you know which one I get.

Yeah, they will be nice to have. We both have the same dent on the drivers side and sliders would have helped avoid that. I have looked at them and can't decide if I want the kind that sit flush to the body or the ones that stick out some.

I'm thinking Kevin's or JCR. They both stick out a good amount for some decent protection

JCR Stage 2 is perfect for what you're looking for then. I know I need some too after the trip lol now that my passenger rocker panel is almost flat lol I'm probably going to build some similar to the JCR's once I get time. They make great stuff I'm sure you've heard though. Plus they're pretty cheap compared to others that are the same thing but around $400.

I decided to go with AJ'S. I did a little searching and found nothing but good things about his products. He's gonna start making them on Monday. I wish I could make my own and save some money but that ain't gonna happen.

I figured those were the ones you went with. They look good and I think that is a good price and includes shipping, so even better. Put some pics up when you get them on.
