Mopar Extended Performance Rock Rails Installed

[LongTimeListener]

Just finished replacing my Rubicon rock rails with the Mopar Extended Performance Rock Rails (#82215606). They ain't cheap ($720 from BAM Wholesale), but they provide a lot more protection from rocks on the trail, protect a bit from rocks that get thrown up, and they provide a nice step for kids and people of shorter stature. They come bedlined from the factory and feel very well-made. Thanks to BAM for the prompt shipping and quality packaging. Install is very simple.

That’s cool, so it’s a dual function! Guess these are better than mopar step side

How wide/deep is the step area?
It seems close to the body. I’m wondering if shoes will get enough area to not toe-kick the body.

About 4". If you need a truly dedicated step, then you should definitely buy a dedicated step, as there's the possibility of shoe/body contact here. I'm not super worried about it since I'm getting PPF installed on the rockers. Plus, I don't need a step to get into the Jeep. I bought these primarily for the extra rock protection, both as sliders on the trail and for rocks getting kicked up. But they will definitely help my wife and kids enter the Jeep. With a little care (never guaranteed with kids), there shouldn't be any shoe/rocker contact.

For a rock rail, these work admirably as steps. Certainly better than the Shrockworks sliders I've run in the past. It all depends on your needs.

Do you have a frame level pic - would love to see how / where they fit on the frame/body Thanks

Are these longer? They look to be closer to the tires which may be an issue for people running larger than OEM sizing.

They're the exact same length. They're nowhere near the tires, although I can see why the picture might be deceiving.

They look good!

They won't be to everyone's taste. Some will prefer beefier (and much heavier) rails. Some will prefer more functional steps that aren't rock rails. For the price, quality, and weight, I like the balance these provide. I'm an overlander, not a rock crawler, and these should work for what I do based on past experience.

How long did BAM take to deliver your rock rails?

Is there anyway to add steps to the Rubicon rock rails or do you need to replace the whole thing?

Short of removing the bedliner and welding some steps on, I don’t see how.

I saw a post somewhere on here of someone doing exactly that. I don't think I saw the finished product though or how they liked it. I have no skills personally so I'd have to find a fabricator.

Personally i like the ACE JT rock sliders the best. Have them on my JK and love them. Atop that they mount onto the frame and dont have to remove the Rubi sliders.
