So I am looking to get some sliders from AJ's Offroad but I can't decide between the standard rockrails or the super rockrails. I like how the standards are tucked in and dont stick out a whole lot but I feel like that could be a bad thing as well. I have bushwackers on my xj so hopefully which ever ones I decide on will work. Any opinions or experiences with either of these 2 products would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Both look kinda small to me.

 

Are you referring to the length or how far they come out from the unibody and pinch seam?

 

Total size they look tiny to me.Maybe its the 2 inch square tube vs the 3x2 tube im use to seeing from jcr.Have you looked at http://www.rigidco.com/RR22x.htm his are just as cheap and look better built to me.

 

I see what you mean about the tubing. I have seen the rigidco sliders, I considered them for a while because they are tucked to the body nicely but was a little confused on the design. It looks to me as if only one corner takes the impact and contact of rocks versus the whole flat side of the slider. Also on the website it says they are 60" long, I don't think those will fit my rocker panel since I have bushwhackers.

 

I plan on buying these. Here's the link

I have AJ's sliders and love them.

 

Nice Jeep! What brand of bumper is that?

 

It's a JCR offroad bumper.

 

Never been a fan of the bolt on sliders(or weld) that attach to the frame. The weld in sliders that go in where your rockers are are pretty bulletproof and don't stick out at all. Better clearance also.

But for the two you listed they are fine for what they are.

I like the looks of the single rail, but the second one will offer more protection even though it is more likely to bend.

 

Hard to beat that price.

I've built a set myself that were bolt on, cost me about 200 bucks once it was said and done. I also bought two different sets for my other jeeps that were also bolt on, and doing all the drilling and bolting was a pain in the ***. The next set I'll be doing will be 2x5 to replace the rockers, it will be much cheaper and easier to do.

 

Trust me these things are bulletproof..

And clearance wise, maybe a half an inch? IF you're lucky lol.

 

Inches of difference. Either 2" below the rocker, or the rocker itself.

 

do you have any more pictures of the sliders on your xj? if you do and don't mind posting them that would be great! by the way nice xj, very clean!
