- In this video, AVR demonstrates the practical application of rock rails and their necessity. The rock rails we have chosen for the review come from a company called White Knuckle Off Road. Let's see if the are up to the task.
I ordered them last week for my 2019 Power Wagon because of your review thank you.
I've had a pair of N-fab steps/nerf bars on my truck the last several years. Finally did some serious off-roading and nearly ripped them off the truck last weekend. Looking forward to upgrading to these attached where they're supposed to be, the frame. Great review, thanks!
I wish they made them for F150 supercab. The only option on their website is for the supercrew.
"best part of any vehicle is a driver" So true.
I bought these exact sliders for my '18 wagon because of this video, they are a great product, very well engineered and fit great. A lil expensive but well well well worth it. Best investment I've made so far...
Good video my man. I just got off the phone with these people and I'm in email contact to order mine for my Toyota 4Runner. Glad you enjoy them.
Thanks for the feedback. We would be very grateful if you let John know how much you enjoyed the video.
I wrote him a nice email earlier today regarding his sliders and wanting to purchase them. Mentioned I do a lot of offroading and post video of my trips and vehicle modifications. Asked if he wouldn't mind me doing a review of his product providing I purchase it. I will subscribe to your channel, hopefully you do the same to mine. You've got some great trails out in CA, here in MA it's harder to find the good stuff, but I still manage lol.
Sooo where are you at? What trails is it?
Looks like Gold Mountain, Big Bear. I love that trail.
Awesome demonstration and review I just wished they made them for my F-150.
You F150 doesn't have enough payload capacity for these and all the other shit you haul around.
They do it now
These look awesome. Debating between these and Heftyfab works sliders for my Frontier. Love my heftyfab skids
Great review I can't wait to get mine on my PW.
Beyond a product review, this is where you'll learn about the technicalities of Rock Rails (aka rock sliders) and watch them get tested and scraped as they leverage 3 tons of truck over unforgiving rocks. Fun to watch on a big screen, the technically proficient AVR team gets down and dirty and right into the action. Pick up some tips and see if the rock rails can help this giant crawl the wicked stuff and keep the truck bed and body free from damage. -JB
What size tires do you have ? Do you have a lift or level kit?
Jesse Hendriks, in this review the truck has no lift and was on 33’ DuraTracs. Now the truck runs 35’s and a Thuren 1.5” suspension lift.
Great video. Any AEV goodies in the future for the power wagon?
Man that would be great. AEV makes some very nice products. Unfortunately, I don't see any AEV mods in this Power Wagons future, but you never know...
I should be getting my W-K sliders in about a week. can't wait
We're stoked for you! Congrats.
Hm, sometimes the rails got hit when the rocker panels were going to be well clear. Seemed like they got in the way some. I want some that fit in tight like the Wrangler Rubicon
Tim Johnson, that’s a good observation. But there have been times the rails truly saved our bacon. It really doesn’t take much to put your truck in a situation where the rocker panels are compromised. There is a company that makes a rock slider that tucks up out of the way as much as possible. They are called Randy Ellis Designs. Good luck!
Tim Johnson late reply, but these don’t look angled at all - that’s why you’re seeing that. A few companies offer 15-30 degree sliders, that’s the way to go if you want maximum tuck and clearance
On the White Knuckle website they advertise these rails in .120" DOM outer rail and a .188" outer rail. What size are the outer rail round tubes your demonstrating in this video. I have a black 2016 PW and want to get the same size you have mounted on this rig.
.120 is what we run on the PW. Plenty tough for most people's off roads need.
This was a great review and I appreciate the info. Definitely helps when I get ready to purchase some rock rails for my new PW. Colorado has some great trails with plenty of rocks to crawl and I look forward to doing with some White Knuckle rails.
Great video great review, say it how it is !! Just wondering where in SoCal did you take your truck I live in Fontana just below Lytal creek. Looks like maybe big bear ??? Been wanting to take it somewhere with someone who knows where to go and a good guide !
Ron Dunlap, we’re glad you got something out of the review. Yes, the trail is located in Big Bear and is called Gold Mountain Trail (3N69). Also, there are many 4wd clubs that frequent the trails of Big Bear. That’s always a good way to go. Happy Wheeling!
Why the duraCraps? Aren’t there better tires out there?
That’s what the Power Wagon came with. It’s now running on 35” Toyo AT II’s
Wow I live one town over from Apple Valley and I had no idea this company even existed. Do they make these rock sliders for the F150?
THEY'RE FOR THIS!!!!!! alright alright.....
How much of a pain was the install? Great video!
Not to bad as long as you have a friend help you.
How much did they cost you?
Sahand Zolfaghari, it’s been awhile since I purchased them. But to the best of my recollection, I believe they were about $1200.
Is the main rail 2x4" (extra wide) version? or is it the standard 2x3" main rail??
It's 2"x3" on the main rail. Thanks for watching!
Hi Allen, love the channel. What trail is this?
Nathan Ream, we’re glad you enjoy the channel. The trail is “Gold Mountain Run” in Big Bear, CA.
Less talky more drivey.
This company will make these for Ram and GM heavy duty trucks but not Ford? What’s up with that?
just put my order in 1.5k :( better be worth it!
As soon as you scrape over your first rock on those sliders you'll be glad you spent the money. My sliders have saved my Power Wagon many many times.... Let us know how you like them.
Allen
Longest commercial I sat through ever
hola
Daunting music hahahah
None of the obstacles required rock sliders. Those sliders caused a loss of ~3", so you're going to drag on everything now. There are proper sliders that tuck up high...these do not follow that proven design.
I havent been able to find them for the power wagon, do you have a link?
Those hang too low.
No lower then the frame does?
What!? Nah uh no nope.
meet me in moab i'll let u drive my AEV Ram on 37's
$1100.00 ????? Ah no.
Python, this video is three years old now. The price has obviously gone up since then.
@@AdventureVehicleReviews after further research it appears the cheaper ones I looked at dont compare to these. I will sell a kidney or something and pick these up.
a real rock slider goes from wheel to wheel..doesnt stop 4. inches short like those white knuckles ..the real deal covers from front fender to the rear of that bed front side FLUSH...this guy tells you a hocus pocus excuse that would rub on the bar if you install a bigger tire..
Johny Hasen that's not true, you have to have room for bigger tires, it seems you should drive something else than your Prius
This is like wathcin paint dry...yawn.
Awesome demonstration and review I just wished they made them for my F-150.
