Re: ----------MANIK ROCK SLIDERS----------
You can get them from Rocky Road Outfitters. They are less expensive than oem rock rails.
http://www.rocky-road.com/H3rockrail.html
check out this thread for pics and info. BabHumv was the test rig for them.

Not to tease you  but Amstar is supposed to be coming out with a step/rock rail combo. Who knows when they will be actually be available  but they look good.

Re: ----------MANIK ROCK SLIDERS----------
I'm not sure if I like the way the rocky-road sliders mount. It seems like a week link to me. but, they are good looking!
maybe I'll have some custom made. |

Re: ----------MANIK ROCK SLIDERS----------
Go with the OEMs or the Rocky Road. You get what you pay for.
If you wheel with anything else, you will like make up the $ in damage.

Re: ----------MANIK ROCK SLIDERS----------
Depends on your application. For some if you are buying with side steps why not. Also check the gauge of the steel. Just cause someone on this site bashed his on a rock does not mean they suck  |

Actually, a couple people have bashed them on rocks. And Manik responded with "too bad, they're only for decoration". Funny, they're not advertised that way. No way, no how would I EVER recommend those to anybody. 
If you want a product that actually provides protection, pass on the Manik's, its that simple.
If you want just the look, whatever.

Anything less-durable than OEM sucks in my book!

The mounting points look weak!
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----------
Geez, I'm starting to sound like a shill. FTR, I have nothing to do with RR, just think they made a quality product.

Re: ----------MANIK ROCK SLIDERS----------
I just really don't like the look and design of that for rocker protection. The amstar one that is.
