more hide a step JL rubicon picture

Did you buy and install them? If so, what do you think about them so far? I'm interested in this step solution, too, as I want to keep my stock Rubi rails, but my Mrs wants a step. I saw in one of the early posts the stock rails have to come off for install, so that does make a little apprehensive given the forum posts about the difficulty of some of the bolts and breakage, but this is as close to a compromise solution as I've seen so far.

Stock rails and side steps come off in about 10 mins if that. Both only attach to the body and pinch seem. It's when you attach to the frame that it sucks. You have to detach 6 frame to body bolts and they SUCK getting out. If these steps do not attach to the frame (which I don't believe they do) it will be easy to do. As far as I know ACE design is the only one (possibly others I don't know about) that have rock rails which attach to the frame.
I installed some a month ago and love them. They can take a full weight hit and drive off. They are the perfect height step to get in and out of, even better than factory side steps. We have a 2.5" lift and it's great. Would imagine it's perfect for stock height as well.

Mike, thank you for the feedback on the rails and mounts. It appears I keep getting the whole "body vs frame" mounting thing confused - too many posts on the subject have my brain tangled! I can take on the removal and install of the stock Rubi rails if there is no issue with the pesky bolt issue that folks here reference. Good to hear you're happy with your Ace rails.

Lol... I assume you are saying "uniconr" because what you have is very uncommon?

Yes, it is uncommon, or so it seems anyway, so maybe that brings up questions about whether I made the right decisions LOL. Add in my specs for black fenders and a painted hardtop = I've yet to see one in person or in these forum pages with that combination. Hmmmm. . .

The M.O.R.E Hide-a-step really works great for me. I wanted to maintain the stock Rubicon rails. 3 young kiddos that are loving it.

I'm glad they worked out. Honestly you barely notice them and don't have to give up your rock rails if you have a Rubicon.

Resurrecting thread. Anyone been having this M.O.R.E. Hide-A-Step and loving it? Hating it? Any issues with needing to use body bolts or rubbing on paint?

$600 for four steps is nothing to sniff at but having very good and reliable steps that are almost hidden until needed, quickly removable, and designed to fit with OEM Rubicon rock rails is enticing.

They're $600?! That's ridiculous. I'd get different rails with a step for that price.

I’d love to hear more reviews on these.

@tachyon9 Question: You used M.O.R.E. hide-a-steps for your kids. Did they work well for daily use? (eg: did the kids hate them after a few times)
