Lets see your Side Fender Rails (1 Viewer)

[womacje]

In my search I found that ARB doesn't import them any more. But, I have seen some Mud members with thier homemade Fender protection.

Post up your Pics of your truck with the Fender rails.
How did you attach yours (weld, bolt, magic,...)?
How have you used them so far?
Effective?
Improvements?

Potential FAQ for mods???

Not my truck, just for reference.

Mine are welded to the bumpers and the sliders.
I have only really used them just today, I had a big old fat woman park her Buick beside me, she kicked her door open (planning) to hit just the soft side of my truck! Man was SHE suprised when she put a big dent down the side of her door!!! And didn't even scratch mine!

Out playing "Mall Terrain Vehicle" for the Christmas masses!!

Is it just an illusion or is the rock slider bending over that rock in the first pic

It's not an illusion. That is one F'd up slider. Odviously that is not one of the Solidrockoffroad.com sliders. (mmm... beef!)

I don't see the fender bars offering much protection for heavy hits. In fact, the may end up being a 'damage multiplier' in a lean against a tree. I only see them being effective in parking lots and light brush.

That's actually an ARB side step in that first pic and yes it's bending. The ARB side steps were not designed with rockcrawling in mind, and for obvious reasons they are not called rock sliders, but side steps.

I used to have the ARB side steps and they bend easily. After I got real sliders I cut the sidebars off the ARB steps and had them fabbed to work with my sliders. Pics on my website here:

Ours are welded to Slee slider steps. They're Airlards old fender bars.

Jon, nice closeup details on the side rails.

Socalfj, good looking rig. Your adventures always makes me jealous.

So where are more of those home made systems.
