Your Fabrication Parts Source

Dan.. I think if you can come up with some solid fab parts for the H3 and can meet the demand, you'll be ahead of a lotta folks.. I may be wrong, but I think there are only 3 folks making Rock Rails for the H3 right now (GM, Rocky Roads and someone else I can't remember the name of has some in development). Complete Undercarage Protection.. I think that GM is about the only choice right now (but I could be wrong)..

There are a lot of folks that are really pushing the H3s into tough stuff and there's not a lot of choices yet to keep the rocks off places they aren't supposed to be.. Once again I could be wrong about that...

Not sure if anybody will find this update here but.....
I got some from that big place in the sky. Well, they went to all the trouble to make them and came up short. One of the main areas I think that needed protecting was the bolt for the shock. The plate starting at the back on the inside needs to be 1 inch wider tapering to about 1/2 inch at the front to get both the bolt and eliminate a shelf right at the bottom spring plate. In the second picture you can see the meat hooks I got already. I ground them off and will repaint.
Im working on the cad drawings and having the laser programmed. When I get a prototype and a cost figure I will repost. Probably Monday.

OK, maybe I missed it, but who exactly made those?

Those pictures turned out dark after uploading so I lightend them here. I added a picture that shows why all those Jeep ones somebody posted and generic flat ones will not work. Not for me anyway. This is a start but needs more width. Just a enough to protect the shock bolt head and get out past the bottom shackle plate. Without protecting that its going to get bashed up. Im thinking since a lot of people think its so easy and cheap, that I will make it strong but maybe no finish like a lot of aftermarket products. I have painted a bunch for Jeeps with rockrails. Powder coat or paint would add labor and cost. Then you can go to the hardware store and buy primer and paint any color your fancy desires. Black will work though! Now Im working on a skid for the front of the rear springs. I have already nailed one of mine! It would be nice to know when crawling over rocks that when you hear that squalling sound or a thud that it was a skid and not some mounting hardware. You'all do offroad right??

Is AMstar shipping any product yet? I still am a little underwhelmed by the amount of aftermarket support on our beloved H3s.
