Rock slider mod help

[Medic_Morgan]

Hey guys and gals it's time for some forum help I've done a lot of reading on the different Rock Sliders and I'm torn on what to do :/ I've come across a real killer deal on new OEM sliders(better than the eBay price) and I'm torn between buying them or getting some custom made. I know a lot of you that I recently wheeled w/ at LCC have the Rocky Roads and while I do like them, I am looking to mod the OEM to match the outward extension/protection the RR's provide. Can I get some input from everyone on ideas/mods to help "beef up" the OEM's? Personal stories on how good/bad the OEM's have served you and pics if you have some... thanks guys I'll be headed to SoCal late next week to visit the family for the holidays and hopefully pick-up the OEM's(both in Riverside so two birds one stone ). Also the terrain I plan on wheeling is LCC again, Big Bear soon, Moab in Mar/April, Gorman and anything else that happens to be look appealing.


Thanks everyone

Ryan

Get a quote on custom ones and a quote on modifying the oem ones. Remember the further the legs go out you want to gusset them to avoid bending

OEM's should serve you fine, better than no protection

Yea. This is an interesting question. I was looking on slider and so far I like the OEM because you can get removable side steps. But I'm not sure if the OEM ones any good.
I was considering getting oem side steps and somehow mount it on the RR's or Schwattzy's but that will require some cutting and welding, what means more $$$.

:corn:

Personally, I would just pull the trigger on the Rocky Roads. The only added benefit with the OEM units is having the option of adding steps.

RR backs their products as well. Schwarttzy's look pretty good as well.

What are the weight difference between all 3 . Any body know ?

Was there a company modifying the oems at one time? I think they are gone now just never did see any of them.

OEMs are as strong as rocky road sliders. In fact the OEMs offer protection for the body weld seam, toward the center of the vehicle. RR does not offer protection in this area. Many have added a sturdy strip of steep to the RR to protect the seam.
