I am looking to make a set of rock rails for my liberty....I think a design similar to this www.boulderbars.com/images/bbar_kj.jpgbut with some braces on the side ones to beef it up a bit. I rougly measured it out so like 71" long on each side and 3 10" deep pieces and then some 15" cross braces so thats like 22ft and I think a stick of 2x2x3/16 comes in 24 ft lenghts and is like $96 bones at metals r us...is that a reasonable price? anyone got a chop saw I can borrow or wants some beers to make some cuts for me?

Why not just buy it in the lengths you need from metals r us? They will cut it any length you want. On a small amount of material like that, I doubt you will find it any cheaper than them.

I built similar rock rails for my XJ. Got the metal from Metals R Us and it was around that price.
