There are a few companies that make rocker guards as well, however if all you are wanting is scratch protection, go for the cheapest ones that go up high. I'm sure someone powdercoats theirs, otherwise your new rocker protection will just get scratched as well. The rock rails will keep your rocker panels from getting dented from below and may stick out enough to keep any rocks away on the sides, but they won't offer any side protection from scratches. 77 CJ-7 258 31" MTR's - now... 360, TF727, DANA 300, DANA 44's all sitting in the garage just waiting...

Now the nerfs just slide over rocks. Well worth the investment and they take a lot of abuse too.

That cracks me up! Most nerf bars are not made strong enough or designed properly to protect and slide the Jeep over large boulders. There are so many styles of good rock sliders that will fit the bill, here. Just keep looking 'til you find what you need. We need to stop recommending stuff we bolted on our Jeeps 94 YJ, SOA, 2-1/2 Alcans, ARB-front, Detroit-Rear, 4.56:1 gears, Oasis Trailhead compressor, 4:1 Terra Lo, 37x12.50x15 SSR's, 8000 lb Ramsey, & etc. Re: rocker panel protection [Re: get2now] #671411 11/29/05 06:42 AM Anonymous Unregistered Quote Now the nerfs just catch the rocks that rocker panel sliders wouldn't even be touching.
