Hey guys, i am looking to fab up my own rock sliders, i have a basic idea in mind but im not sure how to incorporate a slider/protection bar, small step up bar and mud/rock body protection unit in 1. I currently have the oem step up bars which do offer excellent protection to my body from mud shooting up my doors as well as doubling as a step up bar in my newly lifted jk. However they look kinda funky and soccer-mommish and i have been realizing the need for a slider type rail lately. Does any one have any ideas for me or know of a good aftermarket or design to follow. Maybe someone has tried to accomplish this already? Thanks!

I took some rubi rails welded up step and sliders

The only issue with using the factory rubicon rails is that their mounting brackets are not the strongest.

I thought about fabing my own too but went with Ace rock rails instead. I just put them on yesterday, super easy to put on and seem very rugged and they fit with my stock rubi rails still on. price wasnt bad, took me about 1/2 hour to install. no pics yet but i will

I made mine using 2" x 6" tubing by 1/8 inch thick. the supports are 2"X2". Easy to make and very strong
