    "Why do I beam? What do you hope to gain over rectangle under the body seam? I beam doesn't have great torsional rigidity and would'nt slide over rocks as well as rectangle."

    To be honest, it's only 20$ per rail. Just more affordable to me.
    I was wondering about it's slide ability though.
    So if it doesn't slide, then it's of no use
    I gotta find inexpensive tubbing
    Do you know anyone

    I always go here http://www.frontrange4x4.com/forums/...l-Supermarkets they have a drop rack that can save you a bunch of $$ if you're flexible. They also have a ton of sizes and legnths in stock and are very helpful; they make accurate cuts too.

    Last prices since I went to Hinton Steel was $60.00 for 20' length of 1.75 HREW tube. Get 2 of those (or 3 depending on truck length) and I would be happy to bend you up a set as long as another member can help you fab them on the truck. Time is an issue for me but would be glad to bend up a set for ya!

    Nope, not that ugly

    "What don't you like about them? Other than the kick out at the back which I don't care for they are fairly "typical". $900 for a .188" wall rocker guard really isn't a bad deal. What would you like to see different?"

    Mostly the price.... but these are pretty heavy duty and I will consider them as an option if I decide to do any trails rated 6 or higher (this is where I've gotten close to or have damaged my truck so far).
    The kicker is that I'd need them to be powder coated also and with shipping these would be well over $1200..... that's a lot!

    Now we're talking, this is a great price..... leaves plenty on the table to pay for someone to weld support brackets and fab them up to my truck...

    Sounds like a deal to me!!
    I should be able afford this way.
    I'd accept the help, to this point I don't know anyone who can bend them.
    I will be able to find someone to fab them to my truck
    Thank you TJ

    Sure thing, just make sure to check with me timewise. Double check the tube prices though. 1.75 OD .120 wall HREW

    These just got posted on a facebook group I’m part of. He built them for a late model Ram, pretty basic design.
