They also don't HAVE to be bent:

But seriously... you may not need rock sliders for all of RC... but I'd highly recommend it... It makes life less stressful, plus its easier for tactical off road driving... much easier to take a big rock under your wheel and slide it under the slider, rather than take it under your control arm and drag it down your frame...

Those square tubes have an 80s vibe goin on with it. I woud have at least cut the ends in at an angle.

I totally see the need for sliders at RCP (and just about everywhere else). I did see you touch down at tecore 2. I will definetly be doing sliders before a roof rack. All I was sayin is that I don't have a prob goin to RCP without them. Just can't go on the big boy trails :( . Wish Paragon was still open.

I totally agree! I felt the urge to throw on some Parachute Pants, denim jacket, and some high tops, then hop in my delorean when I saw that...
