@ROAM hey Anthony, had the early pre-order steps. Considering the newer steps for the next Jeep, do you guys have that logo cut-out bracket (or no cut-out version!) available?

I sold my Roam Sliders recently after discovering that they had flexed into my Jeep's body multiple times, even with some additional supporting pucks along the pinch seam. I've since switched to VKS Fab weld on sliders and have been really happy with their durability and function.

Sidenote - has anyone else noticed that Roam Offroad has gone completely dark on social media since the end of last year.

I believe it's the opposite, the body twisting into the slider. I read on here that the JL body has flex to it. I have some rub marks on my body behind the front fender where the body contacted my Roam rock rail. That's after serious off-road flexing.

There is some movement between the frame/body as there will be with any body-on-frame vehicle but I'm pretty sure it's from the sliders bending into the body.

I had no issues with lots of articulation until I sustained some hits to the bottom of the slider which caused the damage to my Jeep's rocker panels.

I just bought a set of the stainless MK3's with boat sides on sale. Took just under a month to get them.

I know this is an old thread but I just bought a set of the body mount rails this weekend used. Whatever they were coated with was thick but it definitely rusted underneath. I just wanted something lower profiled than my nfabs and since I will beat them up anyway I just hit the rust spots with my grinder and coated them with 2 cans of rustoleum bed liner spray.

Is Roam still in business?
I still like my Roam sliders, but my Jeep is stored inside during winter/salt season here.

They do not appear to be. I really wanted their 2 door sliders and after looking round and reading a few threads (and posting my own) I've pretty much come to the conclusion they are gone.
