I picked these up from a lost member who had gotten in a bad accident and totalled his KJ, he also gave me a deal on a Rusty's Belly Skid... Will take pics of it later... Thanks Dennis!!!

well.. this is good and bad. the good... the rock rails look great!... the bad i dont see any huge amounts of mud underneath your jeep in that car wash... very disappointed with that

He posts as RedKJ I believe he was a member from over 4 yrs ago.....

I know, I know, No mud....a lot of road salt though.... I forsee a Badlands trip in the near future. I'm sure there will be some mud there

Great lookin' rails...
Are they line-xd? If so, how much did it cost you?
They kinda look like RL Super Skink Sliders!

03CDKJ · **Posted:** Thu Jan 17, 2008 8:29 pm

Thanks..

Yeah I loved the RL Super skinks and that is what I wanted....when I saw these for cheap i had to get them...

I picked them up as is... I have line-x on the jeep but i'm pretty sure the rails are rhinolined... You can't tell the difference because everything is black.. but there is a diffence if you look close... I think they are less shiny too... I guess I'll have to go scrape it all off on some rocks and get them line-xed... :twisted:

Lookin good! I like the line-X job!

Are they CRS rockrails?

03CDKJ · **Posted:** Fri Jan 18, 2008 12:14 am

They were made by a lost member. Designed after ORGS rock rails... I think they are made from a 2”X2”X3/16” and 1-5/8” X 0.14” steel pipe. and weigh about 40 lbs each....but do not quote me on that...

They had holes so they could be drilled and tapped through the frame but I had them welded to the frame and to the pinch weld in two places
I guess some people say that is bad... But to each his own...

here is the old kj that they were on...

yes Dennis made some nice looking stuff, did you go up or have them shipped to you? The skids he had were nice and beefy!

Tom

I drove up there... yeah I had to get a skid too... It's huge... It sticks down about an inch too far but oh well i'm sure it's more protected...
He helped me put it on at his house because it wouldn't fit in the KJ....

did you get a skid from him too? He was seeing if one fit on mine for someone

no your rails were still in the garage when I was there, well plus both tranny skids etc. I think if you look you can modify it just a little bit to work and be up a lot closer to where it should be.

are you ever around Findlay. My girlfriend is going to school there...

tommudd · **Posted:** Fri Jan 18, 2008 1:03 am

Findlay , yes all the time, its part of my "work area" , plus my wife is down in Athens so I go down through that way as well every other weekend. Hows she like Flag city USA?

03CDKJ · **Posted:** Fri Jan 18, 2008 1:16 am

I can't believe I haven't seen your KJ :shock:

girlfriend in Findlay, Parents in Shawnee, Work in Columbus/Lancaster/Zanesville... for over a year now! We should probably go off roading sometime.. PM or post something in the midwest section...

i really wanna do the line x that way i also wanna tear out the floor and line x that

03CDKJ · **Posted:** Fri Jan 18, 2008 9:27 pm

Line-X the floor and put in drain plugs.... Yes, sounds like a good idea to me! I'd probably put in some metal piping and run all the wires through and then have it line-xed
