Rock Rails

Excellent.

Those will do nicely.

Hope I don’t get too much hate when I take my FE out to Moab and test the sliders. ?

will probably wait till we get the base 2door to cut the body though. ?

You need a kick out.

The skateboard tape is for a short woman.

that was the first set he built. the set i have now have a kick out and top plate.

I hope you get yours early and they get right on it. I want SOS sliders.

The only changes I will make from the ones I have now are to get the plates welded on the top like yours. I really didn't think about it when I got mine, but the sliders with the openings are dangerous to my dogs. I'm paranoid that one will get their leg caught in it jumping in or out.

I second this. One of our dogs did get their legs caught in the opening. It was terrible. We are now getting plates welded on top.

Rocky Road Outfitters has great slider options I have used in the past with great quality. They are already gearing up to have Bronco potions soon.

Sure we're not looking at the step bars?
Ford says each rail can hold the entire weight of the truck.

I was going to say the same thing. No way the body is going to support a rail that is supporting the weight of the truck.

Ford says their rails will hold 1.5 times the weight of the truck. I will still add rails anyway.

Attached pic is of my factory rock rails, I think Ford should have went this direction over body mounted rock rails - makes no sense.

That's what I thought I saw. I can't see how that wouldn't cause the body to buckle if it is supporting the rails.

That's definitely the real deal right there. Def makes no sense that Ford would do it differently for their newest off roader.

Sorry, I was mistaken

Cool image. What's the source?

I effing love the sliders on my Tacoma being that its a fat trail pig that feels like it has a 500" wheelbase...

Very early on I am going to add frame mounted sliders that are stronger ad that stick out further to provide some margin when your against a tree/rock and leaning over.

Nothing wrong with a good body mounted rail/slider. Just a matter of having them be thick enough and designed in a way that the load is spread out evenly among the mounting points.
The rocker guards below have 6 bolts on the side and the bottom is sandwiched between the body and the body mounts. It is sturdy as hell.

Wave your tire in the air like you just don't care

Do frame bolted rock sliders require drilling or do they take advantage of existing holes? I'm new to this so assume I know nothing. Because I do.
