My wife is struggling getting in and out of the Jeep gracefully. Any recommendations for a good set of powered running board/side steps? Actiontracs are on sale at Quadratec, but I’m having a hard time understanding quality differences. Not really going to do any heavy crawling, so that’s not a concern. Any advice would be appreciated!

Just toss a small plastic step in the back of the jeep. Take it out, and put it outside her door, whenever she gets in or out. Problem solved. Also, get a good grippy grab handle for her.
What is her issue with getting in?
Too short?
Overweight?
Bad, hips, or knees??
Poor flexibility??

Really pleased with my step sliders from Rockslide..
Not cheap but neither was the jlur. my 5’3” wife loves em.
I have a left side handicap that made entry challenging as well
I added the led kit for a little pizazz.
I had a local jeep specialist do the install as i heard the front body bolts could be a bear to remove

I also installed the Amp, XL. Very pleased with them. Side benefit is they conceal the frame pinch welds.

I did like that feature. It makes it look like it's from the factory.

That AMP one looks nice! I'm saving up for the Rockslide Engineering because I do plan on some excessive off-road, but the AMP is clean and looks really good!!
