I am looking to get some Skids and Rock sliders over the summer to start protecting my baby. Anybody have any suggestions. I really want to fully protect the under carriage from bumper to bumper so I will need a few of them.

Well, Up-rade you gas skid, and a motor skid would also be in order! for your rockers, just make your own! If you don't want to have a elaborite tube step, they can be made for less than $50, then frame tie ins would be good!

Mike, Im sure you can find some on ebay if youre not ready to build some..I personally wanted something frame mounted from bad past experiences...I was looking at the ones I bought on ebay , didnt meet the reserve and then I missed the auction and emailed the dude selling them, got them for an awesome price, and now im online friends with the guy I bought them from!

Just go to the metal store and buy 2 four foot lengths of 0.25 5x5 angle Iron, and two four foot lengths of 0.25 1.5x1.5 square tubing! Bring them to my house, we'll weld that sucka up and trim to fit and bolt them on! Here are my home made ones, I used 6x6 angle iron to cover up some rust and rocker damage  I also used dom tubing to make a step, but was not that cheap cause I had to have someone bend and cope it for me. |

Best prices I have found are at central steel in somerville behind good times. Up near you on andover st in wilmington off rt 125, there is markum metals, still good source but a lttle more expensive.
