Default Need pics of the Power Wagon rock rails...

I'm looking to order a set of these for my '06 power wagon. Does anyone have a picture of how they mount, or scans of the instructions?

It'd sure help me plan things.

PM me with your address and I will send you a copy of the instructions. It's all pictographs. No words...

Here's what I wrote somebody else about this install:

Mopar Rock Rails- Try to buy PW withthem factory installed. It was an all day job and took some special tools and a friend to line up and mark the hole locations. They are super heavy-duty, and worth the money though. Needed a step drill bit and a right angle drill to fit between the frame and the body in some places.Alot of center punching, pilot hole drilling, then the step drilling to~ 7/16" dia.with about 24 holes/side.Had to watercool the bit often to keep fromdulling it.Each rail weighs about 60lbs.,andthe whole kitcomes in ONE box! Each bolt needs to be fished through the frame with these piano wire thingy's and then the wires need to be threaded into each bracket hole. I had to have the rail sitting on jack stands to hold it close (8inches) to the frame.After all the wires are inserted, the rail has to be carefullylifted into place. Then each bolt must be pulled up through the bracket and held while the wire feeder is unwound from the bolt. I used a small pair of Vise Grip locking pliers. If any bolt is dropped, it is lost inside the boxed frame rail. Then each bolt gets a washer and a nut. These bolts have an "L" tab that keeps them from spinning inside the frame. Some of these do not work, and torqueing is challenging.
Unless you are more than a shade tree mechanic and have an extensive array of tools, this install should be left to professionals

The Brit has some pics of his rails on his hard drive that show the rear area connecting to the leaf spring mtg bracket. If you ask nicely he may post them.
I don't have any that show the mounting. I have a crappy digital camera.

I sent him a PM, hopefully he's willing.

I can't believe there are no pics of these things.

Better get ready to put on your knee and shin pads getting in and out. They are famous for hitting your leg on when getting in the truck.

Funny, I've never done that on the rock rails... They don't stick out like wimpy side steps.

Yeah, I don't see how they could be in the way, they're under the truck.

Today I went to the pistol range to do a little plinking, and saw another power wagon there. Then I was what looked like the rock rails from a distance, and got really, really happy. Then I got closer and saw they were just some crappy tube steps.
