Blackjack Rubicon Sliders

Might get a look in eventually but I'm in no hurry. Mine's a critter chaser primarily not a rock climber, I'm just really missing a step to get into it and hope to avoid copping a mouthful from the minister. The point is definitely valid as the picture above shows what could happen. But with just normal steps I'd reckon the damage would of been a lot worse. The additional material on the blackjack ones tho I don't think would add a significant amount of extra protection. Really needs to go back to the chassis to properly protect the body.

The rubi rails probably aren't so much rock rails but slightly higher protection for the body than the step. I have another project to do before I look into adding anything to these.
