LoD Armor Lite Rock Sliders

[DavidJH]

Hi all.

Was J U S T about to pull the trigger and get a set of the LoD Armor Lite Rock Sliders

https://lodoffroad.com/products/jee.../jeep-jl-wrangler-armor-lite-rocksliders.html

to replace the factory running boards on my 2020 JLUS, but decided to hold off until I posted this query here in JLForums.

I am in the process of adding the Dynatrac Endurosport 2" lift. and the stock height and running boards were already a difficulty for an elderly family member to deal with, so the LoD's look like a quality and functional swap out considering the step cut outs and the additional removable drop steps.

Any thoughts from those that have used the LoD's and/or other options anyone else has gone with?

Thanks!

They are an excellent option and the quality is perfect. I love mine, but am considering the drop steps as my wife (5'2"ish) still struggles some on my non-lifted JLUR.

I'm also considering these same rock sliders. Have young kiddos & wife that could benefit from the drop steps, but like that those are modular so I can remove the steps and put the steel skid on them if going off road. Also a bonus for me is that the base is aluminum and helps keep down some weight for daily driving. Definitely going to follow and learn from others that might have more hands on experience with them.

I have a used set of Westin #56-14065 HDX Drop Nerf Step Bars , if interested. Very functional step but not good for rock crawling.

I bought them for a similar reason. I haven't lifted my stock 18' JLUS, but plan to get the Mopar 2-inch lift. If and when I do, I like the idea that you can easily add steps (albeit at a cost). Their support is great. I had a few issues with bolts and they sent out replacements right away. I found the directions a bit confusing and you might find these suggestions useful, if you do purchase them. Then again, I'm a wrench newbie and others have found the install "easy". Here's a great thread with photos and tips from others.

Thanks for the reply, but I am mostly interested in the step add-ons that LoD offers for the Armor Lite steps. You rig looks great tho!

I didn't see the instructions attached to the box until I was done LOL. Found a YouTube video that helped though.

Is the aluminum textured black or smooth?
