I'm down to these two combos. Poison Spyder Brawler Rockers or the Offroad Evolution weld on rock sliders and their rock skins for the rockers. The PSC are flat on the bottom and wouldn't hang up/snag on rocks and look great. The Evo stuff looks super stout and tough looking, and has been wheeled to hell and back by Mel, but require modification to work with my Teraflex long arm. The aft mount of the Evo sliders goes right where the front of the Tera control arm mount brackets are at.

Anyone with the Evo sliders have problems getting hung up on the mounts? Coming off the frame horizontally the way they do, looks like it has that potential.

Any input or ideas?

Edit: I talked to Mel and he said they can ship me out a set of the rock sliders with the aft mount leg not installed, that way I can weld it on where I need to so it will clear the Teraflex control arm brackets. So that isn't an issue anymore.

I have the evo sliders with a long arm kit and have had no problems on any hang ups. To test them out I slid the Jeep off a rock in Corral Canyon, and they work. Scared the hell out of the wife.

Well I've decided on the OffRoad Evo stuff. Just ordered the Evo rock skins. Going see how it looks with the stock rubi rails, then probably get the Evo armor rock sliders. Ordered them from Northridge 4x4 for a great deal.

Tack weld the nutserts in.... no tool required..... no spinning nutserts.... and the process goes much quicker....

How did you get the red under the skins?
