Default MOPAR Rock Rails

Hey Guys. Finally took the WK on a decent offroad trail. Performed pretty well and in fairness, I really need to learn how to drive it properly (I am used to Flex Machines like JK's and Patrols which just flex their way through anything).
Anyway, the underbody took a few hits on the rocky track and this happened to the MOPAR Rock Rail mounts. Needless to say, I am wondering on the strength of these. Any other experiences would be great to know.

They aren't Mopar rock rails, looks like some side steps?

I agree with Snakedoctor. Look like side steps. Mopar rock rails replace the plastic sill. Side steps aren't made for protection.

To elaborate, they are the same side steps that people break off road on a regular basis, I'd recommend removing them.

After seeing some more install pics of the Uneek units they have grown on me, I wouldn't pay the 2k + fitting they are asking for the Mopar sliders now.
