Has anyone actually gotten a set of rock rails for the commander, yet? I keep hearing about delays.

According to Mopar, they are on a nat'l back-order. Same thing with the tail-lamp guards.

 

[Jangy]

Yes, i hear the manufacturer can't make em. I heard maybe end of march??

I want both.

Your rock rails should begin shipping soon, I heard they will be released by DCX within the next week.

What exactly do the rock rail do? Do you think they are a better accessory then the running boards? I order the mopar chrome running boards about a month ago. I guess they must be back ordered as well. Maximo

Could someone write a little about what rock rails do? With the soft-roading I do in Northern Michigan I don't think I need them. Are there drawbacks, for instance, is the weight significant enough to decrease mileage, etc?
Thanks,

They are strickly for protection of the side. if you don't wheel, then you do not need them. They are literally for the rocks, if not you may drop the middle of the truck onto an obstacle. The running boards are more cosmetic and aid in getting in and out of the truck. they are actually oposites in their use. the rock rails can't be used as a step. The running boards hurt clearance offroad.


Any word on the rear tail lights that were also on backorder?

I'll let you all know when i can get my rock rails.

Thanks for the info -- looks like I don't need the rock rails for now...but I do want those rear light protectors, so if someone finds they're available please post!

yeah i want some too!!

 

[Jangy]

Any word on the back order status yet??

 

[JoeTampa]

On the Mopar site, that looks like part of a package (the "off road" package). Can we presume that everything in that package is available seperately?

 

[rwall43]

I think anything that comes as a package deal can be purchased seperately. That being said you might prove me wrong with a phone call to the dealer to find out what is available. I would like to get the rock rails but it seems that they will not be ready before 2030!

the "package" you refer to is actually a dealer add on, not a factory one. I already got EVERYTHING from the factory, sans the engine block heater. The add ons I am still after are the rock rails and the rear light grills. I will call the dealer and get an update as to the 2030 date??!!

If anyone else hears, let me know. I want them something bad.

 

[Jangy]

Oh yeah, just to verify...you can definitely order the package parts separately. You can even get just one of the skids, if you prefer. The difference is all in pricing and where they are installed.

 

[Jangy]

Woooohoooo, the Rock Rails are IN!!!!

Getting them installed on Monday, pics to follow.

The rear light guards are no longer on sale. The vendor failed qualification. Jeep may offer them later.

I had the rock rails on back order for about 2 months until I gave up and got my money back. Hopefully the aftermarket will develop something cheaper too. The Mopar set seemed pricey, but I forget the exact price.

Just saw these on the qaudratec site. They list at 499.99.

Jangy,

Are they on??

Can't wait to see how they mount up and look.

Let us know or show when you get them done.

Thanks,

Bob

I love that they want you to spend $5oo, but they cant show you a picture

 

[SYCOHEMI]

The Jeep Dealer Commander accessories brochure has some pics of the Rock Rails. Looking forward to hearing from Jangy.
