Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...

[CO Hummer]

I'm just starting my project to build some rock rails. In a few months, I'll probably be posting a request on how fix body damage. Anyway, I'm using 2x6 tubing for the outside rail. I've cut it to the length I want, but now I need to decide how to mount it.

I've been thinking that I'll stick it 3 INCHES off the body.

What to do guys think? Should I go to 4 inches outside? 2 inches?

Here are some photos of how it would look with 3 inch exposure.

For some reason, having something hard stick out about 3 inches sounds right to me! Do you think you can make them strong enough to hold a parson of my girth and stature?

Looks great Alan. I think that's about perfect to keep the sid eof your rig away from a wall maybe example (going up Hell's Gate).

I'm almost afraid to ask, but how far does Dirty's rock rails stick out or Phil's for that matter?

Looks good CO...you might want to seal the ends of those for better aerodynamics
