Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
Here's a couple shots of Babhumv's prototype rails from Rocky Road Outfitters. We didn't test them too hard this week but they feel pretty solid and I like how they stick out farther than the OEM ones. Only a couple design issues that I personally would like to see fixed before they hit market.

Also, one of the cables for the parking brake was run under one of the supports.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
When I was in South Bend, Manny told me that Amstar products were developed because the factory protection, even the upgraded stuff, wasn't holding up on the AM General test track. So I'd put my money on the Ambest, whenever it becomes available.

Re: Rocker Panel Rock Rails
Amstar/Starcraftparts - So far, what they have on their website is very pricey!

Are the ones on the Amstar site even true rockrails. They just look like tubesteps with modified brackets so they sit closer to the rocker panel.
I actually really like the Rocky Road ones and will probably buy a set when I finish destroying my OEM ones if there is nothing better on the market. There's just those two items I think should be addressed.

Have you talked to them about the forth set of support brackets?? I ordered a set yesterday and talked with one of there sales guys briefly but he didn't know what I was talking about exactly but said he would pass on the info.

Yes, I emailed Glenn at RR about it. He didn't mention why it was left off but I'm guessing they just didn't see the holes. They were covered by a label on the frame.
He did say they tested it as is and saw no flex. But he didn't say whether or not they would add the fourth support in the future.

I went out to their site and it looks like these are available now. What were the design issues that you didn't like?
