Custom ones for around $60 IIRC.

$60? Boy, wish that existed over here. Sixty bucks here buys you a coffee. lol j/k

I wish a deal like was findable here. I'd gladly pay $100

I made them myself. $60 in steel was it.

what thickness is the main tube?

I had all of the metal bought to make some all out of 1/8" for about $40 too but then I got a deal to good to pass on some 1/4" rock rails

Not sure but they weigh about 45lbs each. The guy that put them together for me works at a shop and all I had to pay for was the two 60" 2x2 pieces and the two 48" 1x1 pieces. The rest was scrap they had laying around the shop.

I had the 1st production Rusty's rock rails (2nd set back in '02) They stood up for six years of bashing... That being said - it would be nice to have a nerf bar like the RL especially after the carnage a few runs ago...

You couldn't buy just the material here for $40,must be nice.

Dang.............................. :shock:

That hurts just lookin' at it. I've seen some of the guys with the RL sliders wheel, and without that outer rail................well, they would have been lookin' just like yours without it.

SO how exactly do you mount those? Do you bolt it through the tube frame or use U bolts like what they use on the running boards?
Do you have a pic from underneath with them mounted? It would be very helpful...just a few more add-ons like this and I'll be out of my newbie suit! :lol:

Thanks

most all mount through the pinch weld in at least 5 or 6 places then bolt into the frame with like a self tapping bolt. Boulder bars for example have 3 legs like 501s above with 4 bolts in two legs and 3 in another leg so 11 bolts total into the frame, then those through the pinch weld

Thanks Tom.
I wish there were other guys around here with dressed up KJs so we could compare notes... I might try to make some rails this summer....thanks for posting pics guys, it gives me an idea of what designs I can come up with.

Yep, what Tom said!

I don't have them mounted yet, but that's how I'm doing it
