Manick Rockers on a Silver Mo

I got them from one of our forum members, whaleblue22.
They are at 4x4parts.com though.
Yesterday I was going to take pics in the sun, but honestly, they were blinding. I had waxed them right after I put them on.
They were so easy to install, I didn't need instructions. Just laid there for a bit (the instruction/pics whaleblue sent had fallen out of the box during shipping) and looked up. The hangers are very unique. They look sorta like ell's with the short part of the ell being the bolt. You push them up into holes in the frame and the bolt end drops down through an adjacent hole. Pretty slick. You can't go wrong as the front hangers are skinny and the rears are wider and won't go through the front holes and don't match the adjacent hole distance. If you lay down there and hold them up to the holes, it is very apparent how they go on.
Cost? about 300 shipped.
Quality? Polished 2" stainless tube welded to 1/4" stainless plate for the brackets. Perfectly welded. Perfect fit. Great care was taken to weld these things precisely to the correct dimensions in all spatial angles.

Are these bars only for show or can you step on them? I can't tell from the pictures if there is any clearance at all or if there are foot pads. I do like the look better than the nerf bars. The Japanese site showed some optional rocker trim that might be similar to these and they had some kind of lighting under them.mgthe3 said:side clearance...uh what clearance?
right... these are just for show... and theoretically protection... you ding the bar instead of the rocker...
there is no clearance to speak of (couple of millimeters with pads) between the body and these bars... so no way to step on them... if you want steps, you need nerf bars, and of course that's a whole different look...
you could probably mount lights to the inner edges of these bars if you were so inclined... but that would be a custom job and need drilling and such...

I thought they were.
Yes, the rocker bars are all show, I doubt Mo would see a rock tall enough to injure her rocker panel....although in my Stone Mountain post, if I had done a back turn to the right from my photo, it would have kept the rock from doing just that, but so would nerf bars if their mounts were substantial enough to take the weight of the Mo.
Nerfs are designed for saving your doors while crabbing against trees/rocks in mud (side impact), been there, done that.
