Title: Rocker Panel Protection
Post by: NJONES on March 10, 2004, 04:11:58 AM: What is the best protection/product out there for the money. I'm looking for looks, protection and all around function.
I'm currently looking at "shrockworks" and I would like some input before I make my purchase.

Thanks,
Nathan

Guess you're right - and they're bolt-on...

Post by: Speedracer7c on March 10, 2004, 07:41:08 AM: They are supposably coming out with rock rails for the 89-98 Trackick but like anything else with RRO that they are supposed to be coming out with, Im' not holding my breath.

CALMINI has a whole new line of rocker sliders. They have more ground clearance than any other slider, provide good side protection, and look WAY awsome. I'm cutting my onld ones off and installing these new ones.

It's a pity Steve doesn't keep his web-site up to date.

I would have to agree...unless you live around there or talk to them all the time, you can only buy what you see.

Title: Re: Rocker Panel Protection
Post by: lil_Truck on March 11, 2004, 09:44:20 AM: It's one of those thing. Ã‚Â I wheeled for two years without hitting my rocker panels once. Ã‚Â

I decied I'm going to put on a pair in the upcoming weeks (last year) and proceded to bang up both sides??? Ã‚Â

Go figure.

So I made myself a set, they turned out nice. Ã‚Â I have more clearance than the stock rocker panels.

Now I seem to use them all the time! Ã‚Â Who cares?? Ã‚Â ;D

Post by: nc_zuk on March 11, 2004, 10:41:30 AM: Shrockworks is now making sliders for kicks and yes they are bolt on. Believe me, it won't matter. These things are very beefy. I had RRO sliders and ditched them for these. Nice stuff !!

Post by: standog on March 11, 2004, 11:13:40 AM: Yankee Tim, do you have a grand Vitara? Maybe a dumb question but the reason I ask is calmini told me they did not make sliders for the new GV and standard Vitara.

Post by: van7559 on March 11, 2004, 12:54:01 PM: Hey nc_zuk are the sliders out for the tracker yet. I hope so let me know.

Post by: idaholwb on March 11, 2004, 03:27:11 PM: To any that are interested, I made the rock sliders for Heather's 95 4door. I can make more and for the 2door. If you are interested, pm me about the rock sliders. I'm thinking about making them for stock, 3" body lift, or universal (no taper front to back, top to bottom...just flip them over for one or the other).

Nope, me the dumb one. I thought the request was about Sammy sliders.

I do have a GV and Sammy with CALMINI sliders on both. The ones on the GV are proto and only for 3" body lifted GV, similar to that of the
