We finally decided to replace the damaged tube rails on the Jeep. The passenger side was dented heavily and was pushing against the pinch joint towards the rear wheel. Another good bump could easily cause body damage. It took quite a bit of time to decide on the new rock sliders. We had chosen a few but there were long lead times on getting them due to manufacturing delays.
