Re: Rock Rails
You can add the step option on the REDs, which I did......and quickly added some skateboard deck tape. Price wise, after all was said and done, I was about as much into these as the WKs would have cost with shipping, maybe a hair more since I had Randy's shop do the install.

Re: Rock Rails
Have you at least contacted WK to see what the build time is? WK is clearly the forum favorite here. Had I not taken a chance on a local AZ guy, I'd be rocking the WKs for sure!scoutermike wrote:Thanks everyone for all your replies. Still undecided.......

Re: Rock Rails
How are the Randy Ellis rails mounted? The frame mounted designs are what most(myself included)prefer & are seeking. The problem with the body mounted designs if seriously abused/used in these heavyweights, eventually mounting points experience fatigue/failure within the sheet metal. I shared the s...

Re: Rock Rails
Just to repeat what others are saying, if you are going to wheel hard, you should invest in the White Knuckle sliders. There is some guy on the FB group who is making knock offs. And I think that is Randy Ellis. He's in Canada so it tends to be cheaper for folks up north. Negative, Randy is in Phoe...

Re: Rock Rails
Any difference between 2015 and 2016 models? If not, you may also want to check out the Randy Ellis sliders. The White Knuckles are awesome and I almost went that route but after talking with Randy I decided to give his sliders a shot. Otherwise, White Knuckle is the clear winner....but you better o...

Re: Tow mirrors
I do not, but a guy I work with has them on his. I mentioned I didn't like my power folding mirrors and commented I wanted the tow style like he has. Lo and behold, he showed me they were in fact power folding. One day I'll bite the bullet and get some towing mirrors. My inner redneck likes the flip...

Re: White Knuckle Sliders On!

Re: Battery?
Just went through some research on batteries for my TJ. Was going to go either Odyssey or Northstar and then started coming across some rebadged batteries made by both. Ended up going with an X2 Power. Specs were identical, both made in USA, but the X2 was a hair cheaper with better warranty. Haven'...

A lot of talk of de-badging/de-stickering going on so I thought I'd share a few pics of my 2013. All that remains are hood decals. Nothing too special.

I went with Onyx. They look darker in the pictures than they really are. Between my rockers and bumpers being coated with Line-X, I really felt these wheels tied everything together. I know not everybody will like it, but they sure make me smile! As stated, those look sweet! I originally liked the ...

Re: Diff Covers
I went DT ProFab in the rear and Solid up front. Extra capacity out back is nice and I haven't reversed into any rocks yet so can't speak to its strength but I don't see it being an issue. Steering stabilizer u-bolts hit the Solid so I trimmed them down as flush as I could and it still barely rubbed...

Welcome to the forum! Just out of curiosity, the mirrors on newer models don't "flip up" into tow mode position any more? When did that change?

If you are changing for looks, then ignore my comments. If you want improved function, there are only two choices that I am aware of: 1. A set of Hummer H2 wheels with the center holes bored out to accommodate the Dodge hubs. 2. A set of true beadlocks, preferably with a DOT approval. Just out of c...
