I just recived my AJ's SuperRails and so far have had quite a bit of trouble with them. I know AJ makes great products but my rock rails havent turned out so great up to now... The holes on the pinch seam mount are slightly lower than the pinch seam itself, they just wont line up. I e-mailed AJ about this 3 days ago but he is having many troubles with his E-mail and hasent been able to contact me so I posted the same thing on his board, I havent recived a reply there either so I thought some one here might be able to help me. Has any body had that problem with the pinch seam mount?
My other problem, wich kinda scares me...I decided to mount up the rockers with out drilling the pinch seam mount just to see how they would look. I also figured maybe I could weld some 1/4 steel running along the pinch seam so I can have something to bolt the rails on to. I drilled the holes into the frame and all is well, bolted on my passenger side rockrail and snuged up all the bolts, AJ say's not to make them too tight or else it will strip the frame and you'll be really screwed so I was carefull with that. However I grabed onto the rocker and tryed to move it thinking the frame mounts would be strong enough to hold a little pressure, the damn things move around... They have about 1/4" of play :shocked: . I would think that with the 2 frame mounts it would be strong enough for me to at least stand on it...Im scared of standing on it. I really hope that the pinch seam dosent have to support all the weight of my XJ when I land on a rock, I belive the pinch seam is only there to help out the frame mounts a little but it seems as if its going to do most of the work :doh: Any comments on all this? Is the pinch seam really what holds up most of the rockerguards? Any thoughts or ideas about why my pinch seam mounts wont line up?
All this kinda worries me sence I just paid 232 bucks for these things. :doh:
