You get one hit with the OEM rails,not worth it.Just save up and get the RL Super Skinks and you'll be set for many,many,many hits without worry. |

No, they are slightly different. My 2004 OEM Renegade rails have a fin on top to hide the pinch weld. 05+ have a plastic piece to hide the pinch weld so they eliminated the fin. I agree with tjkj2002, and get some Super Skinks. That's what I'm saving for! |

Yes save up , the stock ones would help you a little but not for anything serious. One drop down onto a rock and they would be gone This set I have now was "tjkj2002 off road tested" several times and I am certain stock ones would not look the same after the testing he did

This happened to mine last weekend....I can't wait to replace them...although it was a heavy hit, it will happen again and the rail is already compromised.

Doesn't take much of a hit to bend them. If you look at mine there is a slight bend on the outer tube up towards the front , this was from when Troy dropped off a rock over two foot and landed hard on the rail. with stock rails they would of been torn completely off, and new door etc more than likely! |

There are two types of testing that Marty performs. The first one is called the Troy Test. If a RL product can withstand the Troy Test, then it goes into the most strictest and vigorous type of testing which is classified as the Ted Test. And …..well…………..let just say it’s scary.

ive straightened my stock ones with a frame machine twice so far... sooner or later i'll upgrade to RL super's.. but extra tube would be outstanding for door protection.. that in itsself is worth the extra money. |
