Finally found the perfect rock rails. White Knuckle Off Road in Apple Valley, CA makes the best rails and for a great price. I picked these up for $410. Had them welded on.
I needed a step for my short wife and young daughters, and I wanted a solid, weld on rail. The are designed to be bolted to the frame, but my buddy Scott Monks builds street drag racers, so who better to get to weld on my Jeep than someone who does it every day. He is up in Hesperia.

I copied someone on here by making a switch plate for my spot lights. This is the second time I made it. The first was with aluminum that was too flexible. This time I used an aluminum bar that I bought from home depot and made it long enough to add future switches if needed. I cut it with a metal blade hack saw and drilled it with a step drill bit from Harbor Freight. Then I filed and sanded it. I attached it with screws and nuts behind the dash. I like how it turned out for the most part but don't like the screw heads sticking out. I tried countersinking them but they are too close to the outside edge. Maybe I'll buy some rounded head screws. I also had a hell of a time pushing the switches into the faceplate. If you look close you can see the plastic tabs sticking out a bit on the tops of the switches. Is there a trick to them not sticking out? <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=592084"/> <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=592085"/>
Why not just do it without the metal plate???
