Grill Guard/Brush Guard, Bumper/Cladding Protection info?

[ZEUS]

OH! I need to mention this... I told Rocky Road that they need to take at least an inch off the total length of the sliders so that owners with bigger tires wouldn't have to cut them down. I don't think they listened to me - TaylorRichie and I, both, had to cut ours down so the tires wouldn't rub. If you had to do a lot of cladding trimming (at the rear of the front wheel wells) to fit your tires be sure to contact RR before ordering the sliders. If they refuse to take off an inch or two you may want to order from someone else. Sidenote: I have the prototype set so it may not be worth mentioning, but I am not impressed with the powder coating job they did on them. Their powder coat shop was new at the time my sliders were made, however, so maybe things are better now. It seemed too thin and I have a bit of rust developing at some of the welds.

Zeus - Do you have the regular rock sliders or the super sliders? I originally wanted step bars to help with entry/exit/roof access, but if you can get rock protection while you're at it, why not right? My question is: are the tube/steps as easily usable as the Luverne step bars? The RR site mentions that their bars are 2" further in than conventional step bars. That's great for the trail, but I'm not so sure my size 13 feet could fit.

Thoughts?

Triathlete pointed me to Stric9 Sliders. I got them and had them installed this week. Same general design as the RR super sliders. I think they work the same as a step bar. I hate step bars and don't use them, but they rub my ankle the same when I get into the vehicross now and my Borrego with side steps. Really nice for access to the roof! If you make it to Uwharrie this weekend (nudge) you can see them for yourself.

I don't have pics yet, I will be posting them next week after Uwharrie.

Got a website? Tried www.stric9engineering.com but getting a DNS error...

Yeah, thats an issue. They don't have a website anymore. I know there are pics of the sliders on vehicles in the gallery. Search the galleries for stric9. I know Biju has the sliders, and I think the other VX was TusconVX?? I e-mailed him back and forth, but he isn't "fast" with replies. His phone is the best way to reach him.

Just did a quick search and Biju and Ten36VX have pics in the Vehicross.info galleries.
