Yes this is why I was leaning towards option 2



I figured if my rails pushed up into the body I could just cover it up later with som EVO rock skins.

Now with all that being said , it all needs to get done anyways so I will probably just do it all.

Time to water the money tree!

But really, most of the time when you hit a rock rail you will know it is coming. Your ruby rails should hold up as long as you don't beat the crap out of them.


My ride- 2001 power wheel, 11" plastic tires, upgraded battery, boat sides, custom bumpers, tow hooks, new paint.

Or maybe the "wants everyone to think he's cool, so he says yes, but will come up with excuse later" list?

I know I am not going on this trip, but hear me out –
If you hit your rock sliders too hard and get a little bit of body damage you will be sad. But if you hit your differential hard and the ring gear slices through the cover you are pretty screwed. Not to mention a tranny or an oil pan failure. What do you think is more important? Body damage, or mechanical failure?

Also- I pretty much always know when I am going to hit a rock rail and can go slow, but every now and then a rock sneaks up and smashes your differential without you even knowing.

I would go for the diff covers and oil/trans before the rails since you already have rubi sliders.
