Jeep WJ Grand Cherokee Overland Rock Rails

Welcome to the JeepSpecs.com feature of the WJ Generation Jeep Grand Cherokee overland rock rails. Want to feature your Jeep? Please get in touch with us and tell us about it!

All Overland models come standard with custom rock rails, available in a gray finish only.

The Overland rails can be purchased and easily installed on other WJ models, as shown in the above photo of a 2002 Limited. The Overland rails are functional, made of steel and weigh about 30 Lbs each. Only the adjustable end caps are plastic. The bolt holes for mounting the rails are already designed into the frame area on 2002 and later models. For 1999-2001 WJ’s mounting holes must be drilled into the frame. For Laredo models, the side cladding must be removed in order to install the Overland rails. If you purchase a used set make sure the 12 J-nuts are included as well as the other parts listed in the chart below. The front brackets are built onto the rail and are not available separately. Butchen Engineering and Prince Metal Products designed and manufactured the rails for Chrysler.

Removing the rails from an Overland is very easy, just unscrew the 3 main bolts in each of the four corners. No further disassembly of any other rail parts is required.
