Hello all,

I was just asked to find something I want for xmas that is under $200. I was looking for possibly rocker protection. I know there are a few out there that are jsut the plain angle iron style steel sliders, but I a not sure which ones they are. I know that there are few on ebay for around $99-$179, but they are made out of 1/8" material. I don't do much rock crawling, but I want to be on the safe side and beef up the rocker panels. Do you guys have any recommendations of a set of rocker guards that are less than $200 shipped? They just have to be basic, I don't need a step or anything. I can add that later

Thanks,
Craig

Use the money to buy some tools and make your own. It's more fun that way and more tools are a good thing.
You won't find any for under $200 shipped.

Yeah, it's hard to getting them under $200 shipped. I have the Warn rocker guards and they are really strong and well made. I picked mine up at Redrock4x4.com for $201 (plus shipping by try DC4WD.com. I've recently ordered some things there and he has some incredible prices.

Here are some pics of the Warn's:





They are laser cut out of 3/16" steel and powder coated. You can read more about them on my website, here.

Best of luck in your search.

Erik, you are correct. I apologize.

If interested, please e-mail us at info@atozfabrication.com.

Mods, if this post in in violation, please let me know and I will gladly remove it.

Thanks.

you need to be a vendor to pimp your wares its inexpensive and worth the money

I just picked up some A to Z rockers. 232 Shipped with a step rail. (unpainted though). I like them. Well made in my opinion.

I went with Zach's rockers as well and I've been very impressed. Countersunk bolts, tubular steps, shipped unpainted for $232.00. I spent another $30.00 for a couple cans of Eastwood's chasis black paint. It was important to me to have rocker guards with a step. I also wanted to buy them from a person, rather than a large company, and Zach got them to me very quickly.

well, I took a look at the tozfabrication site and like what I saw there. The standard rocker guards without step + countersunk works for me. I just showed "santa" and he agreed that it looked good. It's either this or a 246 piece set of craftman tools. thanks for all the replies.

[BamaJeeper]

Get the 246 piece tool set!!!!! You'll have those tools for the rest of your life plus they have a kick-***! warranty.
You can build your own rocker guards like those for $100 in materials, bolts, and paint.
That does not include the cost of a grinder ($30), and a welder (surely you know somebody with one).

NEVER opt for easily made bolt on parts when you have the option to get more tools!

Just took care of that.

Please check the Vendor area for a special Jeepforum offer from AtoZ Fabrication and a major thanks to our happy customers that support us.

BTW, Bamajeeper, please let me know where you can get two pieces of laser cut and CNC bent Pickled and Oiled 3/16" steel, 10' of structural steel tubing, and stainless steel hardware for $100. Also, you forgot the tube bender($1200), tube notcher($200), and bandsaw($500), among other things needed to produce a quality product. I need to start shopping where you do.

well, it looks like the toolset is on the way

I am just going to work on making a set out of some angle iron. I already have them cut theway I need, I just have to find a way to mount them so they are secure. I mean, should I tie them into the body mounts underneath or can I jsut bolt them to the rockers and they shoudl be good. they are 4"x1/4" angle iron.
