Rock Rails>Side Rails

[cowcatcher]

Looks like MOPAR side rails protect further up the side than rock rails. I want rock rails right?

Thanks in advance.

The side rails will bend like a coat hanger the first time you use them for anything other than a step up. Rock Rails or Boulder Bars are the way to go.

Thanks!

Is there a difference between the strength of black and the bright Renegade ones? Pretty good price difference but I am guessing that the Renegades were purchased in higher volumes by DC since they are a standard model and that keeps the price down. Both would look good on my Limited.

If you are going to do any significant wheelin', I would say get boulderbars or some other aftermarket rock rails/sliders other than Mopar ones. The mopar ones are not strong at all, and will bend if you come done on a rock with them. If mine didnt come with them, I would have bought boulderbars by now, but since I had the rails from the factory, i upgraded other things first. The boulderbars are my next upgrade.

My brother-in-law has rock rails from rocky road outfitters on his XJ. They are not going anywhere! He puts them to use frequently & loves them. Here's

Yabutt I wanted a CRD! Not any used ones in this neck of the woods and still would be an '05 or newer. \/

I can get them for '05> here: http://www.boulderbars.com/kjboulderbars.htm

Thanks though.

You might try calling Rocky Road & ask if they have something coming up for your model year. They are very pro-Liberty, & may have something soon.
