Must be a black X thing. I smashed my drivers side rocker just over a year ago before I got my sliders. I wouldn't go offroad without my shrocks again.
I learned the hard way (not that you have any learning to do because you are well more advanced than I am) that besides tires, Sliders are one of the best investments you'll make.
The damage cost more than the Sliders did (and I even got a great deal on the body work). I was lucky that it just missed catching the door or it would have been a ton more.
Sorry about that Scott.
