I’m exhausted after going thru 60 pages of threads of Steps and Rock Slider add ons. But from what I could see, I think I’m going down the Ace Slider route. Reasons:
1) My wife and I like the looks
2) You keep the existing Rubicon rock sliders in place (hiding that ugly pinch weld)
3) These things apparently really work as rock sliders (I saw a YouTube video of a jeep banging down on rocks with Ace sliders)
And most of all 4) They apparently will demolish anyone opening their door into your jeep (of course, I’ll probably smash my Lexus door into it in my garage :/
But I’d like to hear other pros and cons from people who have gone down the Ace route. Looks like its a pretty simple install once you get the frame bolts out. But other than that, it looks like just putting in 3 bolts on each side.
Does anyone know if you can jack your jeep up using the rails? Not sure it that would ever come into play, but it seems like you ought to be able to do that.
TIA
