I'm boring...I had a pair of regular Mopar running boards/steps ready to go on when I picked up my 2 door yesterday.
I have to admit that I am very impressed on how solid feeling they are when I put my 250lb fatazz on them.
Couldn't be easier to install either. Captive bolts on running board, guide them through the holes in the pinch seam, put a nut on them, then a bolt up from the bottom. 2 mounts/side on 2 door, and I think 3/side on JLU.

I am boring too. I have those same steps waiting at the dealership for when my 2door Rubi arrives (hopefully soon!). I am vertically challenged and need the steps and these are similar to what I had on my ‘99 TJ. They worked well for me for 19 years. I won’t be doing any serious rock crawling as mine will mostly be a beach Jeep so I don't think I will miss the rock rails.

LOD Offroad Signature Slider/Steps were installed yesterday.

To answer the usual questions:

  • No, they don't cover the pinch seam
  • No, they can't be installed with the Rubicon rails in place
  • They do not require additional holes to be drilled, but it does come with the hardware to add more mounting points for more intense rock crawling
  • They have a flat top that I think will work better for anyone who wants a functional step as well as a slider. (I specifically opted for these since the other sliders I found were strictly tubes, which I thought my mom would struggle with.)

So onto pictures:

Anyone heard from @ROAM about shipping the side steps ?
I haven't gotten any email notice yet. I've got my fingers crossed that they'll be shipping in the next day or so.

Are there more "logo metal backs" available separately? My jeeps all black but there's this shiny steel bolt right behind ROAM's O...
Contact Anthony and see if he can hold one for you or if someone wouldn't mind giving their metal plates to you.

I emailed Anthony today to see when they would ship if I ordered today. He stated by the end of the week. I ordered them, so hopefully we’ll get them mid to late next week.

We also understand some don't want LED lights so you can always remove the lights and add a plug to give it a cleaner look.
Do you provide the plug, too? If not, which ones do we look for?
