Obviously they could be custom but the guy titled his post "Roc rockers". I found this picture over in the "Bad *** Cherokee" pic thread on Pirate4x4. I messaged the guy but never heard back. Anybody run across these before?

Those are just rock sliders not the ones he's looking for.

From those links I was able to find out that ROC is the company and it stands for Ralph's Offroad Creations (Who ironically makes the ROC rockers).

From the same link I also found out that Ralph's Offroad creations website is no longer working and the domain is dead.

I can even tell you that there isn't much info on ole Ralph after 2008ish but since I learned that Ralph's shop is (was) in the Pittsburgh area I am betting I could probably find out a phone number - though it may no longer work.

So to sum up I found his answer from link.

I have already tried a number of different search query's through Google with no results. The problem is the name "roc" also pulls up "rock" and considering the second word, "sliders or rockers" it doesn't yield much for a specific brand. Thanks for the information in your second post.

Has anyone seen a set of these before they went out of business? Anyone have a set, or detailed pictures of the mounting and construction behind the skin?

Are they just bolted to the original rocker panels?

If you put a term in quotation marks it will search exactly that term. So if you put "roc rockers" in quotes it will weed out rock and other things. Observe:

From what I found, ROC stands for rides of conover or ridesofconover.com. They have off road products but their site is somewhat under construction... Hope this helps

*zing*

You're right.

From one of the searches I posted:

http://www.nc4x4.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90006

He's got the same pic the OP posted AND a big image/link in his signature to Rides of Conover.

Haha I hope that isn't the thread where the OP got his pic . . .

well their we have it, "Rides Over Canover" and that's his personal truck.

http://ridesofconover.com/

his last post in that thread you found says he wants $300 for a set but that was back in 2010, so one would think he would have them all over his website; which is, as mentioned, under construction. Probably suggest that no ones has any and those might be the only pair. I wonder how thought out the design is, I really like them. Na, I got my picture from Pirate4x4

Seach "Boatside sliders", maybe you'll find something like that. Or just find some sliders you like and have a plate welded to them.

yeah I was just fishing for some ideas. He claims they are some what integrated as a frame stiffener so I was just curious how far his concept goes.

I retract my previous comment, when I pulled it up it was just links to rock sliders nothing specific.
