HELL YEESSS


A recky in to our favourite camping spot
2011 CRD Laredo standard suspension, Mopar Rockrails and Bashplates
a few dings in the rock rails after this but the GC is undamaged, rock rails worth every cent
Now i just need a lift, Hay CRDSTU have you done a wk2 with load levelling suspension yet

Get out there and use them

Mate, I'm with you on that one. I'll be ordering from justforjeeps.com soon. All skidplates and rockrails for $1938 US including shipping. Compared to $2610 rrp on mopar.com.au.

Hi Gazz
The rock rails are Mopar from dealer $1200 but they are super strong and look good, paid for themselves on this one outing

Default Rock rails or side steps?

Hey Joda

I priced side step kit Wk (Chrome) $798.68 no GST and Step Kit Tubular Side WK (anodized) $834.83 No GST.
Mopar Jeep assessories.
Are any of the 2 above what you call Rock Rails?
My main purpose is for protection but also to help the kids climb in and out of the Jeep.
Has anyone got photos of the above fitted, what are the anodized ones like?

Cheers
Browny

No, they're side steps. Below are the rock rails/sliders:


I've got the sidesteps as well and am about to fab up some rock rails for my WH. Until then, I'll keep the side steps for protection, better than nothing.
