[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 433535, member: 19498"] Ouch on the body mount bolts. I suppose you should start soaking them down with a good penetrate. I for one dont think much of the over the counter stuff like PB and that kinda of stuff. Working at a water plant on the coast rust was the #1 killer and PITA. We used, and I still have a product from Certified labs a product called "Free" I have yet to find anything else that worked as good but its not cheap at $35 a can. Generally soaking,tapping the bolt heads firmly to help unfreeze them and a slow process of back and forth until they unscrew all the way works pretty good usually. If the heads are rounded off then vise grips may be a option. Far as rock rails go There were a few versions, mostly TJ's IIRC that came with a little running board step kinda deal. My 91 had Smittybilt?? tube type whatever you want to call them attached to the frame right under the body lip. far as really protecting the body if you dragged one over a rock...I doubt it. I'll call them crash enhancers. If yours are bolted to the frame you should be easily able to unbolt and be done with them. Post a pic if you would as lots of folks use the rock rails if they are stout and somebody here would likely grab them up if they are close to you and in decent shape. My problem is Im 6'2" with wasted knees. Side steps have me looking way over the top of the jeep standing on them or nothing and Im getting hung up on the door edge getting in and out these days. :oops: [/QUOTE]
