Jack rail/rock slider question

[JO302]

Has anyone on here bought the Western Kentucky Surplus/ebay rails ($495)? Curious if you’re happy with the quality and fit.

Thanks!

I have and they were good to work with, shipping was fast and the fit is good, I am just worried about dissimular metal issues. I may remove them to put some insulation between them.

Cheers

Agree completely, which is why I made my own out of aluminum angle.
I will never understand why MSG made all these GMV add on parts out of steel for an aluminum truck.

Thank you! Good call regarding the steel against aluminum. I’m thinking between the powder coat on the rails and the raptor liner on the body it should be good?

Saran wrap between the two, or some such barrier should be fine for like 30 years. So would rhino liner.

in the irrigation section of the hardware store they sell 20 mil PVC tape. I've been using it as a barrier for all my projects where there are dissimilar metals.

Orbit 2 in. x 50 ft. 20 Mil Pipe Wrap Duct Tape 53550 - The Home Depot

Seal your piping with Orbit 2 in. x 50 ft. Pipe Wrap Tape. This PVC tape helps prevent corrosion and can be used with metal pipe or conduit in pressure-sensitive applications.

Great suggestion! This option sounds easier to apply and cut to fit.
