Jacking rails for convertible?

[gojensen]

*bump*

I so need this... and a simple/easy one that wouldn't require drilling, modding car parts or any other wizardy. [MENTION=10893]David@Steeda[/MENTION] any news?

"Non convertible" Steeda jacking rails.

You just need to file the holes to make them into a U shape and voilà.
I've had them for almost a year and was waiting on spring to arrive and then this talk about jacking rails for the vert came up. After a couple of weeks it was obvious to me that my hopes for vert rails was not in the near future so I said to myself, these things are going on!

And they are awesome

Great advice for anyone wanting to modify the current ones to fit the vert. Will touch-base with the team again.

Not at all, I've even hit a speed bumb:doh: and still solid :hail:

Just to clarify, not at all- I meant not at all as in that it's the OEM braces that were violated LOL not the jacking rails

F speed bumps Found one up in northern Arizona that was just like a upturned V - real spikey and a shock to the system...

It just amazes me the speed bumps :shrug:
The one that I hit was in a Home Depot parking lot and the speed bumps that are around the schools, no wait, there are none around the schools :frusty:
