    Very cool mod that I have noticed for a while now. I agree that is has to be a permanent mod with not turning back. Makes me wish I still had my Wranglers when I see mods like this.

    I also called a few small shops I found online about making different variations for rock rails. The shops I found all built older Cherokee gear but not WK (or XK) stuff. I'll let everyone know if they respond with any ideas.

    Your best bet is getting the sliders from SA. You can't beat the price and they were designed by people who know are jeep better then anyone and I put them threw hell and there perfect.

    I missed judge the fall on the passenger side and smashed it hard. But if it wasn't for the slider I would have been spending lots of cash to fix that side and yes I can move it by hand

    Other ones are made out of 11 gauge steel not sure I want to go that thick. Was thinking 16 would be thick enough what ya guys think.
