There are generally easy trails in my area, with exception of few technical sections every once a while..with rails I feel more comfortable out there, less vulnerable.

They are Rocky Road Rockrails, I had them LineX coated for protection from rocks being thrown up from the tires and give them some grip as steps.

Really stout built, I had to tweak one of the mounting legs with a mallet but other than that, get help or use jack stands to help hold them in place while you put the bolts on. Less than an hour job.

I just installed them on my truck two weeks ago. Very well built, and good looking. The can be used as a step also (high step)

those are a lot better looking then those factory steps, which make it a pain in the ass to get into a H3!

yes, they looked to me a like rocky roads but they didn't look shiny..so you line-x'd them..that's why. I considered them too, but then I bought OEM's instead. I guess they're both good ones; I heard a lot good about rocky roads around this board..

I have the rocky roads as well and they are just as strong as they look. I have put them to the test on several occasions.
