Anyone running these? They seem quite cheap http://www.rustysoffroad.com/jeep-sk...-cherokee.html

 

Looks sketchy to me. Is just plating that goes on top of your rocker panels. If you want something like that, go for the 2x6 rocker replacement.

 

Those are just covers for the rocker panels not real sliders and if you read what it says that is all it claims.

Good rock sliders cost good money even homemade ones you have a lot of labor and materials into.

 

Its 1/8 inch steel which is 11 gauge most fenders are 16 gauge so its not much thicker then your fenders are now.Most rock sliders that kinda style are 3/16 steel which is 7 gauge.

 

I built mine from 1/8 wall material and have had them on the rocks. I have less than 100 bucks in them . For now they are self tappered at the uni-rail and bolted off angle iron at the pinch weld as I am adding uni frame stiffners soon.
I could not see spending 250 plus the 75-100 bucks to get them to my door.
I have a welder and an imagination .... Plus im a cheap bastage.

I find it hard to buy some of the sliders out there that are really beefy and hang them from sheet metal anyway. Now if one had some 3/16 or thicker frame stiffners it would be alittle easier to see bolting/welding on all that beef.

 

3/16 or nothing for sliders if you're in the rocks.

 

Just thought I'd ask. I started building a set a while ago and just haven't got around to finishing them

 

Couldn't you just attach a piece of angle iron, would be the same wouldn't it?

 

I wouldn't trust it.

 

I wouldn't trust those. I have the hanson offroad sliders and they are kinda similar. Just cap the rockers. But they are 3/16" and they still worry me a little.
