Steps for stock Rubicon rock sliders

[RandyMc]

LisaMc needs steps or she won't go anywhere with me. That's occasionally inconvenient for me. I put these on not realizing that they don't do much protection.

I don't really want to buy another pair of sliders that will actually do both. I would like to reinstall the stock sliders with bolt on steps for her. I can't find such, certainly not steps that are engineered for this specific purpose.

Anyone know of such a thing?

something like this? Not exactly sure what you mean by not wanting rock sliders that will do both, but these install on top of stock rubicon rock sliders. I bought mine just before the step sliders came out so I regret that I little, but I love the product overall

What I mean is I don't want to spend over a thousand dollars for that. I would like to find a pair of steps that bolt on with the stock sliders. Goat had something a few years ago that required drilling but it apparently discontinued it when it came out with the step sliders.

Just steps. No sliders.

This company makes steps that bolt to the rock rails

The above stirrup design may work for you. I went the cheap route recently used one of those little $15 fold flat portable plastic step stools so my 77 year old mom could get in and out. It folded flat and we just tucked it in behind the passenger seat when not in use.

That's exactly what I had in mind. I didn't search "stirrups", I guess.

I have the small step stool but LisaMc grew up in the city and can be a bit uppity about some things.

Thanks!

I have these and really like them. Great for everyday use. Out of the way when not needed. Come off in less than 2 mins for off road.

This is exactly what I use but only on the passenger side for my wife. I love the way it hides away.

I came here to suggest these. They were on my list (I ended up getting White Knuckle sliders, but the Hide-a-Step was a contender).

Okay, if the the nerf bars with the steps can't be bolted on with the stock Rubi Rails, let me run this past you:

Reattach the Rubi Rails, and find a good welder/fabricator and have the nerf bars with the steps attached with a good weld?

$600 stock Rubi Rails and whatever I overpaid for the nerf bars with steps...sunk costs that I don't want to lay around in my storage unit mocking me for years.

Just to close the loop on this, I found, through my local guy, Moose, a used, but like new pair of ACE Engineering skids that can be used alone or with OEM rails. I don't think I would pay over $1000 for these new, but for less than half that, I think I killed two birds with one stone, and have more rail protection AND steps than with the OEM rails alone. I put adhesive non-slip step treads on today and couldn't be more pleased. LisaMcTigerFan also seems seems pleased, which is a **** miracle. She's generally not pleased with much of anything I do to my Jeep.

I went with the Mopar Slider Steps for 23 Rubicon 2 Dr.

I used to use one of these: https://mountainoffroad.com/products/hide-a-step-silver-jl

The nice thing is that you can remove it if you think you'll be scraping on your sliders off road. I may still have it in my garage - I'll let it go for $50 + shipping if you're interested.
