Homemade Rock Rails/Side Steps

yeah between tube and box...

Mozzy - if you don't mind me asking (and via PM is fine), what did the guys charge you for your step/slider? With the lift going on my XJ I think I will need to get some steps fitted for my wife to be able to get in!

Looks great dude !! but yeah i'd put a brace in between the tube and rail as well

They where $750 including fitting, but guarrenteed against breakage if they do he will fix or replace them at no cost. There is another style to choose from which is cheaper. The pics show ones for a hilux dual cab but can be adapted for anything $395.

Thanks Mozzy. Might have to go pay him a visit. I don't do hard core enough stuff to warrant sidesteps I want to abuse all day long, but something that works as a step and can withstand a brush now and then (and not bend) and maybe jack off with a hi-lift if worse comes to worse; is what I'm after.

[mozzy]

You can certainly do all of that these mate.

jacking off with a hi lift is not recomended....
