Hobgoblin made me an INCREDIBLY NICE set of Rock Rails, He designed them, and I sent him some measurements for my application, as I wanted to remove part of my existing rockers, and install a set of custom rails, no lower (actually a little higher) than the stock rockers.. 

By now, you guys know I am against body lifts.. but I didn't want to hang sliders down below the rockers and lose anything.. so I decided to cut the rockers out AND install rails..

Better pictures later, it is dark and friggin COLD out today.. bout 13 at the moment.. I had to lie in the driveway and cut out the rockers...  (I just have the one side done at the moment)


ANYWAY, the main body of the rail is made of 2" square tubing, with 2" tubing going back to the frame, and 1/4" plate steel fabbed into "saddles" so it securely wraps the frame..

I can highlift off'em  no prob.. I could hang the Tracker by them if I needed to... LOL..


They fit in great with my overall look, I think..    Once again,  better pics tomorrow..

but from the side picture, you can see the driver side, where most of the rocker was rusy anyway, so I just took some light sheet metal, and riveted it into the door jam, and wrapped it back under and riveted in place.. this gives the original wiring harness a nice secure "conduit" to run in.. no worries..


THANKS HOBGOBLIN!!!     You rock!

Quaddawg,

Glad you like them,Now if I could just get mine done...I kinda like that shaved rocker...might have to try that myself.I tried to call ya,but got message.Been in shop all day..Doing the bodylift and making new body mounts...FUN...

So...  how did you mount them to the frame?  Weld?   Clamps?

For me, that's always the big problem...

WHat he said ..

This is a picture of Shrockworks mount.. I don't have a picture of Hobgoblins.. but, it looks very very similar..  it is a saddle of 1/4" plate steel, with the bolts at the top... 

so far, it seems to be bullet proof!

I wheeled it today, and bounced it off a couple rocks... didn't budge... (only have the left side on... lol.. need to move some brake lines for the right side, should have it tomorrow..)

Thanks for the pic, Quaddog.

I have seen that style of mount before.

Does the back side of the clamp fit into slots cut in the bottom of the L-shaped bracket??

Hello,

The mount is all one piece,with two 3/8 inch bolts at the top which clamp it to the frame.The saddles fit very tight.They will stay up with no bolts in them.If anyone is interested I could make a few more.

Later Tom K.

Finally got around to doing the passenger side, and getting a picture of Hobgoblin's mount.


Here you go..

Before I cut the rocker and folded it up, and after installing the rail.. plus the mount.

Thanks again Hobgoblin.. 

He has said he would make a few sets if anyone else is interested..

That's an awesome mounting style.  I like that there was no drilling or welding onto the frame, and also no body lift.  Working on a Nissan's bodylift, and realizing how horrible they are, right now.

yeah I like the mounting style aswell no real way for it to rust out either.....

likin them!!

nice set up!!!!!
