Rubi rock rails...

Subject: Rubi rock rails... Mon 15 Feb 2010, 8:25 pm

Sorry to be a post whore recently....

Just found some 2010 rubicon rock rails on craigslist for $140 (brand new, the guy works at a dealership and took them off to put running boards on). I know they are listed on quadratec for 319.99...Right now I have the factory Sahara running boards.

Would this be a good upgrade? Or should I save my money and buy some nicer ones later?

I like mine and they are def worth it...I am sure they have saved me some money in body damage

Yeah that's what I figured. He said he would take any reasonable offer. The thing is it's a long drive from College Station to Alvin (south of Houston) where he is. What would you offer?

Subject: Re: Rubi rock rails... Mon 15 Feb 2010, 8:57 pm

paypal me the $$$...give me lil gas $$$ (as Alvin is roughly 45 mins from me)...I could pick them up...JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN BECAUSE OF WORK...and you can come get them whenever...install party at the end of the month here in Houston

If not me...perhaps some else could...dunno

Thanks! That would be great!

Not sure when I could make it to Houston to pick them up...pretty tight with work as well but I'm sure I could figure something out.

How much should I offer the guy? I'm honestly thinking about telling him Ill give him $100 becuase of the drive and see what he says? He definitely didn't seem like he was set on the 140, or that he even cared how much so long as he made some money...

Subject: Re: Rubi rock rails... Mon 15 Feb 2010, 10:18 pm

ok so he just told me he would take $100 for them...

When is the install party at the end of this month? I might need to wire my CB by then also

Subject: Re: Rubi rock rails... Mon 15 Feb 2010, 11:21 pm

i got the tubes to add on to these from poly performance. they have been used and held up pretty good.

Subject: Re: Rubi rock rails... Mon 15 Feb 2010, 11:23 pm

Yea I was looking at those. Seem pretty nice, but I dont have the skills/equipment to do that so I would have to take them to somebody...I guess it would still be worth it.

Subject: Re: Rubi rock rails... Tue 16 Feb 2010, 6:27 pm

Get ready for some good hazing...assuming they still allow that in the Navy. You'll get a nice unflattering knick-name like fuzz nuts or something.

Subject: Re: Rubi rock rails... Tue 16 Feb 2010, 6:44 pm

Around noon...some a little earlier.

If you plan on going to bigger tires in the future I would have George trim a little off the back of the rails before he puts the tubing on them. I have 35" tires on and when they stuff, they rub against the end knob of the rail. I had to trim the pinch seam as well as the ends of the rails. I wish I would of trimmed them first I was kind of difficult to trim and not cut into the welds.

I really enjoy the mine. I used them this weekend. I had to pivot around a tree. They work great for that. I still have my stock arms in the rear, so I guess if I went to adj arms I wouldn't have to had to trim the ends off.
