Rocky Road Rock sliders are the creme' de la creme' of the rocker protection world. We use 3/16" inner hitch steel to make sure your bars do NOT bend! Anything other than hitch steel is just plain flimsy.

Most other rocker bars are made from thin 1/8" wall tube material. Alot of shops refer to these as Nerf bars. an appropriate name since they will offer about as much protection to your vehicle as a Nerf toy product would.
A good number of the Rockrails we sell are to those who have actually bought these thinner bars and have bent them up. Even slick looking dual round tube designs that appear to offer better protection are still only made from 1/8" steel and will bend on a hard impact. Not the Rocky Road sliders. Our shop press goes to 50 tons and we can't even start to bend them. Do you think a scrawny little rock can hurt these things? Think again!
Why hitch steel?
Why not go with a lesser gauge steel to save production costs?
Because we wouldn't trust anything less to protect our 4WD's and neither should you!
Besides, since these carry the Rocky Road **lifetime guarantee** against bending and denting, and we don't want to have to replace them for you for free every couple years or so. We made them indestructible so they'll last forever and they are guaranteed forever, NEVER to bend on you! You will not find this guarantee on any other rocker protection kit on the planet mainly because they just don't have our level of strength and design engineering. Our rockrails are very simple to install and are completely 'bolt on'. No welding, cutting, drilling required. Our Rockrails wrap the frame for a super strong mounting system that anyone... ANYONE can install very easily!

You won't find anything that offers better clearance or more protection!

Our Rockrails have a very sleek rounded look about them as we use genuine inner hitch steel in their construction. Hitch steel is not only very strong, it also has a nice radius corner instead of a hard boxy look. Inner hitch steel is the stuff you use to plug into 2" receiver hitches. We've seen the competitor's sliders at $7-800 with squared ends on the rock sliders. Alot cheaper to make them this way, but ugly and they don't slide too well. You just bought $800 battering rams if they hit a rock on the forward edge. The engineering in our kits provides a beveled lead and trailing edge not only for great looks, but also for better trail service.
You'll find our Rockrails very attractive and will blend in nicely with your stock flares, mudflaps, and moldings. We tuck them very tight to the body to minimize the possibility of getting hung up.
All kits come in a sturdy, durable, and very attractive black powdercoat electrostatic and baked powdercoat finish.

Rocky Road Rockrail kits have been installed and reviewed always with the highest marks by offroad magazines, websites, chat forums, etc. Rocky Road Rockrail kits are the strongest, and most protective bars on the market, with the best mounting system, and are guaranteed NEVER to bend. You read correctly, these come with a lifetime guarantee to never bend or dent. No other rock slider on the market would, or could dare make this offer.
And yes, our kits will work on the Lexus 450.
In a nutshell... if you want the very best rock slider protection, with the easiest installation, at the smartest pricing, look no further because you have found it!!!

Notice the top picture at right is a Rocky Road rock slider kit. See the beveled edge? The nice 45* ramp which would slide up and over any rock or stump on the trail? Its takes more time and effort to manufacture the kits this way, but that's all included with the Rocky Road kits.
Now take a look at the lower picture at right. This is from a competitor. We have lower prices, they they still cut their production costs by making the end a blunt square. Run that thing into a rock and you can clearly see the trouble you will face. Its a battering ram, not a rock slider. It could stop your vehicle cold or require you to bash away until something gives. Why would they build their kits with this engineering defect? Simple... its cheaper to manufacture with the flat end, so that's what they go with.
Also notice how much further down their kit hangs. Rocky Road kits tuck up tight!
This is one easily observed engineering advantage the Rocky Road kit offers... but there are many more.
