Heavy Duty Rock Rails For Your Jeep JK - Barnes4WD

Adding a set of Barnes4WD Pritchett canyon series rock rails. My Rubi rock rails finally needed to be upgraded and I really like the look of these sliders, they flow with my rear bumper perfectly. Install was a breeze and they fit flawlessly. www.7slotcustoms.com/collecti...

Came for the rails stayed for the squats lol

Looks good Ben, I like that you aren’t adding the same armor that everyone else adds. Keep up the good work, and Cassie we want some videos!!!!

[@TheBeardedJeeper]

They look really good

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Thanks, I’m happy with them for sure

[@ricksscalerc2222]

nice job bud,they look awesome on the jeep! good choice!👍

[@bryanmuck1651]

Awesome video! Keep up the great content!

[@JKsouthwest]

I really like the look of those sliders on your Jeep! Subscribed to Cassie's channel, just waiting for her first video!

[@JKGearandGadgets]

She wants to get one up soon!

[@528Circle]

Looks like those rails are N/A If you happen to see this all these years later maybe you could update us?

[@AzCoastie1]

These rock rails are nice, but it doesn’t make sense to mount them to the very thing they’re designed to protect. Hence the damage you’ve had with the stock Rubicon rails. If they move, so does the body. Rock rails should be mounted to the frame. Great channel, thanks for sharing.

[@jud-asinsmith-stansell2022]

Well I was here to see the rock sliders but I keep hitting repeat. Lady working out for the win.. 😍

[@zeppelincarnival8272]

Love the rails have to get them

[@leskobrandon538]

Great video keep up the good work by the way

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Thank you!

[@michaelmrtonkaryan3192]

Very nice brother!!

[@gavakie]

I love the barnes stuff. I really want the front pritchett canyone bumper. That being said I went the pinch seem route on sliders that was a huge mistake. Hope they work out for you.

[@Metalcop5150]

You say two... hand-job, I think it's pronounced two-hand...job!! lol I've commented this before, now I think you're doing it on purpose! Keep up the good work, I really like your vids.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

😂🤦🏻‍♂️ haha yeah a few people called me out the first time. Now I think it’s a funny saying!!!

[@BP-uj9uq]

You make great Jeep videos! But damn dude, when you mow the lawn you gotta aim the clippings away from the side walk!!! LOL. Great videos tho! Subscribed!

[@rodwood693]

Next upgrade, "AstroTurf". Can't have something as foolish as yard work interrupting a great upgrade! :)

[@JKGearandGadgets]

I need to just pay my neighbors son haha. But that means less Jeep upgrades lol

[@lisiy1986inh]

Hi! First of all, thank you for your videos! I got a lot of useful information from your youtube channel. I want to upgrade my factory rubicon rock rails. I'm afraid of body mounting rock rails but i see you did it 5 years ago. So you must have good experience with this. Could you, please, tell me if the body mounts is ok on you Jeep for now? May be you can tell the titles of video on your channel where we can see how this rock rails work? Is it ok tolift the Jeep by hi-lift jack on this rock rails? Hope you KOH went very well! Looking forward to a new video about your experience on KOH 2024!

[@hunterneamtu1692]

What fenders are you running they look dope 🔥

[@jameshowey9958]

Just found your channel, great content and videos. I like these rails and just checked, looks like they are discontinued 😢

[@BluePrintLab101]

Bad ass video!!!! Great details. Whats the weight on the rear bumper and side rails? Looks pretty light, well lighter than most. Keep them videos coming ✊🏽

[@JKGearandGadgets]

The rear was 36lbs if I remember correctly, I’d have to look up these sliders weight.

[@ghernandez6457]

I might get this ones because the poison spyder rocker knockers look like a pain in the ass to install. I am looking for something that sits at an angle I don't like the side step style sliders of my Westin Snyper ones.

[@isuguy82]

Have you ever used Sharkhide? The "unpainted but protected" look would have looked sick. Wouldn't have matched your colour scheme as well though.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

I’ve never heard of that stuff. I’ll have to look into that!

[@JK-dh9sz]

If ya mow the yard in a clockwise direction, it'll just about mulch itself and there wouldn't be any grass to sweep afterwards. More time for the jeep! LOLOL

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Whenever I do that my mower clogs up 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

[@adamjohnson8855]

Those are awesome. Is there room inside for a strip of lights?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Yeah I’d say so!

[@ridgerunner9451]

Time out. Did you say you were riding 40"s? How did that ride on your Dana 44s? I can't go to 1tons right now but I will follow your video series when I do!

[@stevemartinism]

Toughest rails Ve see.I know this is an old post, but Jeep install are timeless. Love the axle swap. What part of Alaska are you from?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

I actually live in VA now

[@jaberry77]

Those mall parking lots sure are getting challenging for you.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Yeah i guess I went to the mall last time you went wheeling 🤔

[@brianpatrickcork4513]

They are good looking and aggressive. However, would you agree they are too long and reduce clearance for your wheels?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Not really, if you are running extremely large tires like 40s or 42s on a low lift (2.5”-3.5”) then it might be an issue. I talked about that in the video. It has a few benefits of extending that fat

[@colin1528]

wish these were available for the 2 door jeeps too.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

They are working on it!

[@rodtoler]

I looked up Barnes 4x4 equipment. Well made for sure. But they do not make a frame mounted rocker. I do not see "Body mount" as a good option. The Rocker panel is the weakest part of the tub. Bolting to the tub and/or pinch seams doesn't seem viable to me. I put Poison Spyder frame mounted Rocker Knockers on the Wifey's Jeep. They fit up snug just like the Barnes. I plan on putting some sort of frame mounted "boat side" rockers on mine. The Barnes do look but I do not see them as viable upgrade. If you take a hard hit from underneath or from the side you will just push the rail into the tub an/or rip out those tiny bolts from the sheet mental mounting points. JMO

[@JKGearandGadgets]

We will see! I’m confident that they will hold up fine. The rubi rails were mounted in the same spot, and those took some extremely hard hits

[@cb.offroad]

We have frame mounted bolt sliders for the JK as well. Check out www.7SlotCustoms.com

[@leskobrandon538]

What about in full articulated droop on the rear?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Since the slider angles in, by the time the tire drops down then there shouldn’t be any clearance issues at all

[@leskobrandon538]

@@JKGearandGadgets I like the looks of those, and if I saw the video correctly I think they mount on the underside at a couple of places which should be great if you're teetering on them.. those are going to be on my Jeep soon

[@jasonkus4510]

Do you really think they will handle bashing? I think they might but I dont think your pinch seam will handle it.

[@jasonkus4510]

I do like the look!

[@JKGearandGadgets]

We will see! I think they will. My Rubi sliders held up pretty well to some big hits.

[@garrettarsenault6010]

Is there enough space from the body that it acts as a step or does it hug the body

[@JKGearandGadgets]

It’s close, you won’t really be able to use it as a step, but Barnes does sell sliders that double as a step!

[@garrettarsenault6010]

JK Gear and Gadgets thank but I like the dimpled look, thank you for the response!

[@Wikernb]

how has the paint held up from being on the trails up to now?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

I respray about 2 times a year

[@jbsbayarea1]

So when I purchase my jeep I install some side step rail. First day with my group my steps where bent and destroy. So I added these rock rails and had no problems on the same trails. Here my question. Now that my jeep is taller with a lift and tire , I email Barn if they can customize a step that can be remove easy from there rock rail for us short people (wife) Let me know if you have any ideas.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

You will probably have to find a local metal fabricator that will be able to add on a removable step.

[@johnmills837]

What's the weight of these?

[@casey197930]

Look great, but the mounts seem weak af. How do they do coming down hard, and can you use a jack on it? Edit: Glad I watched more videos, they definitely bent like I expected. Think I'll stick with there bumpers and skip these worthless things.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

These are plenty strong. They just don’t hold up to bouncing off rocks in Johnson valley (KOH trails). Any sliders would have bent.

[@NYC-WRX]

I subscribed to her. She has 280 subscribers and no videos. Lol.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Haha I know 🤦🏻‍♂️ just started the channel a couple days ago. She should have a video up real soon!

[@NYC-WRX]

JK Gear and Gadgets it would be funny to see how many subscribers she can get without putting up any videos.

[@JK-dh9sz]

I'd be REALLY funny if Cassie out-sub'd this channel without a video just by making quickie appearances putting him in his place. lol 😂👍 I sub'd just hoping it would happen!.... 😈

[@scottweber3077]

maybe its just me, but it looks like your losing up travel clearance on the rear tires.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

I talked about that in the video. Since the axle moves to the rear during up travel it won’t have any clearance issues.

[@scottweber3077]

I made the comment before you stated that,

[@toddhodgkin3247]

[@jessejames3636]

Wrong rather see her

[@13JSW]

Awful close to that rear wheel

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Yep. They redesigned them shortly after this. A little more clearance for people running 40s and bigger

[@user-hh3lg4ro4g]

weak slider, I do not like it !! only heavy duty for me !!
