Hey, no offense taken Sewie. I did not interpret your post as anything but friendly advice. Mine was too. When I bash em on the rocks and curse the day that I bought them, I'll let y'all know. Until then... TO MOAB

Re: ----------MANIK ROCK SLIDERS----------
I don't wheel half as hard as alot of the members, but I have come down VERY hard on my OEM sliders more than a few times and only suffered scratches. A product worth the money.

The point from the frame to the sliders looks like it could bend under strain.
Unless, your using a heavy guage steel!

Well, then looks are deceiving. I've seen them support the weight of the truck with no flexing.
More info on the gauge >>> http://www.rocky-road.com/H3rockrail.html
I love this pic.

Re: ----------MANIK ROCK SLIDERS----------
They look heavy duty but have a couple of questions. First, as asked before, why only three mounting points? Don't the OEMs use four mounting points? Second, doesn't look like they cover as much area, do they?

Re: ----------MANIK ROCK SLIDERS----------

Re: ----------MANIK ROCK SLIDERS----------
I am sure they are sturdy, just wonder why you would not utilize the four mounting points if you are going to have three. Why not just make it that much stronger, it's supposed to be as strong as possible right?

I posted this on the other thread also.
Babhumv had the Manik's which only use the outside two mounting points. One set of the inner mounting holes on the frame rail was covered by a label. I'm guessing they just missed it.
