Does anyone know of a manufacturer who makes rock sliders for 2nd gens? I am interested in getting some coverage for my rocker panels and I like the look of them. Any help would be great.

There may still be some "universal" ones that will have to be fabbed in. Making sliders for a 10 year+ old truck really isn't sensible.

these are hard to get for 3rd gen or 4th gen. Most at this point have to go custom. What really makes a true rock slider is the mounting to the frame. You need a really strong mounting system for them to really work.

Why isn't it sensible? Hell I had rock sliders on my ole 1975 chevy suburban 4x4 that went everywhere I pointed it. Things people do to our rigs is in the eye of the owner. Just cause you don't think its NOT SENSIBLE, don't diss the idea.

I don't think he was dissing it, just wondering why put them on a 14 year old truck? Kind of a thought provoking question, and my answer is strictly cosmetic. I just like the look! haha

best bet would be to go custom, closest thing I have seen to rocksliders would be the gorhino's and the nfabs. I think Okie was just getting at the fact that aftermarket support for the 2nd gens is much much less then the 3rd and 4ths.

Hell, even edlebrock discontinued the headers for the 2nd gens. A few company's, fab four I think was the last one I talked to that made heavy duty bumpers, they have also discontinued their 2nd gen line.

If you think about it, it makes sense. In 4-5 years, my truck will be considered a "classic" lol no more inspection, wooooooo
