Here are some pictures... There are 4 attachment points, I took a pictures of each side of the 4 brackets...

Rear bracket looking back. Question for John (JRH_PowerWagon_06) - the hole above the leaf spring attachment pivot point corresponds to a hole in the bracket of the rockrail. Did you install a nut and bolt through here when you did the installation? I'm wondering if the dealer missed this one?


Rear bracket looking straight back (theres nothing to see looking forward on the rear bracket)


General shot looking forwards.


Hope these pictures help.

Those are perfect - Thanks a ton!

Now, onto the planning stages and to order the rails...

 

Well, they're ordered. Now I need to pick up some tubing from the local metal supplier, because I have some ideas for these things...

Being as they're under the truck, more or less, I'm planning on adding on a nerf bar/step setup. I want some added protection along the sides to keep trees out of my paint.

 

If you extend the rock rails outward, you may want to weld the rails to the frame. You may overload the bolts by increasing the length of your lever.

 

PM'd you Mark. They are missing.

 

I was thinking about adding some 1/8" thick, perforated aluminum skid plates to the bottom of the rails to allow them to slide over objects instead of hanging up on them.

What do you guys think?

 

That reminds me of one time I was sitting in a restaraunt looking out the window, and I see some guy on his hands and knees looking under my Power Wagon, admiring all the underbody protection, I suppose.

If all goes well, tomorow I'm off to the metal supply warehouse to pick up some tubing; I can do probably 90% of the fabrication work before the rails get here.

 

Let's see some pics when your project is finished.

The rails get a little dinged up in shipping. I used RUST-OLEUM black textured paint (p/n 7220) for touch up on the rails and as a anti-corrosion coating on all the drilled holes in the frame. It's a pretty good match to the original finish.
Are you going to have them powder coated?

 

I will shoot some pics in progress, when they get here.

I *hate* powder coating. Or at least, anything I've seen that was commercially powder coated; it doesn't seem to have any adhesion. One scratch, water gets under it, then it's rust city and the crap peels off in big sheets.
