Is the best part the fact that they keep their prices low by paying copy writers who don't understand the difference between a plural noun and a possessive noun?

We need to establish a “Mall Crawler-Approved” or “Mall Ready” badge.
Looks like buyers have been warned against the aluminum product use on rocks. Wonder if the rig in the pic had the inner bracing behind the threshold.
Definitely something funny about openly saying they're non-functional and for looks only. Can only protect from sand and snow being flung at them?
I am going to laser etch a bunch of these and attach them to magnets. Watch out in Moab if you're on a trail with me

Tag me with the one with the shopping cart lol
One step closer. I should get the second article rear bumper welded next week. Then run some pull tests.

That figures. I'm always the last one to the party. That's why I don't go to parties anymore.
That’s my Jeep! I bought those rockers years ago when I was 16, not realizing the kind of trails I’d end up wheeling on. Thankfully, I only paid $900 for them at the time. I never wanted to cut the rockers to fit the TJ wheelbase because chopping them down to the stock length seemed so daunting. So, they sat in storage for a few years until I stretched my TJ to LJ length and finally installed them.
Now that I’ve been wheeling with them, let’s just say it’s been… eventful. While running a trail called Papa Smurf in Sand Hollow, my driver-side front tire slid off an obstacle, and the entire weight of the Jeep landed on the rocker. It bent my tub in, twisted up into my footwell 4-5”, and completely smashed the forward double-wall section.
For those wondering, yes, it did have GenRight’s backing plate. And yes, I know they now say it’s only meant for sand and snow, but that warning wasn’t around when I bought them—and I had no idea I’d eventually be running trails like this. For context, the picture you see is after I spent a couple of hours with a porta power and a tow truck prying it back into shape. At one point, I had roughly 8,500 lbs pushing down on the rocker, supported by two stumps on either end. Honestly, it makes me wonder how I hit it so hard on the way down.
Long story short, I’ve been in contact with @Fluxor to get some stretched LJ mini boat-side rockers with stainless skids to replace this whole mess.
Welcome to the forum!
That would be a fun project, but I’ve invested so much time and effort into this tub that I don’t think I could ever let it go. When I have some time, I’m planning to write up a build thread. The rear section of my tub is stretched 15" to fit my 40" spare tire just behind the seats. It’s all custom sheet metal, and I probably have over 100 hours of work into just the tub alone.
ha i can’t find the time to install the fluxor Rocker guards much less fab anything. welcome to the site.
I got the the second article rear bumper finally installed and plan on doing some test pulls on the soft shackle mounts this next week. If all goes well I’ll have pricing soon. lol
I also got the torque box stiffener brushed and coated. I hope to get it installed Saturday morning.
I had a few people asking about the brushed process so I made a short video for those interested in a similar finish.
With soft shackle mounts and rash guards.
The next priority will be installing BMB tail lights. It’s funny. As I refine parts other parts start to stand out like a sore thumb lol. I also need some tag bracket, does it ever end…….? Lol
