I just inquired about their rock rails. My questions and their responses are below.
Hi Sarah, I am interested in purchasing your rock rails for my new Toyota fj cruiser.
Do you have any additional pictures available, other than the two I saw on your web site.
Do you have any information regarding how the strength of your rails compare to the Toyota factory rails. It seems like maybe your stick out a little further from the frame. I am wondering if that reduces the strength.
Also, what type of finish are on your rails. Are they powder coated?
What's your shipping cost to ship your rails to Colorado?
Thanks. Scott
Scott-
Attached is another picture of our FJ Cruiser rock guards. I’m not sure how strong the Toyota factory rails are, but ours are meant to hold the weight of the vehicle. The do indeed stick out farther than the factory option. This does not reduce the strength, it adds protection. The factory rails will only protect the underside on the body if you land directly on top of a rock. Ours are meant to slide the vehicle along the rocks, keeping the body panels protected. Our “kick-out” feature at the rear of the rock guards pushes the vehicle away from the rocks at the vital point where most vehicles see body damage, since the front is better protected by the control of the front steering, while the rear simply follows with little control.
Our rock guards come unpainted due to difficulty shipping without scratching the paint. If you provide me with your zip code, I will be happy to get you a shipping quote. Thanks for your interest in our products. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
