ROAM JL Side Armor Steps

[Tpham]

I little surprised. Most companies don't charge you until they ship. I really like these and have spent countless hours looking at different side steps.

They’re releasing the mk3 one soon if you wanna email Anthony at roam to be put on a list or some

They are already released and in stock but more than twice the price of mk2’s

Not sure what MK2 and MK3 is, but I am buying the frame mount black powder coat. Back ordered but may as well get on the list.

they released the stainless boat side ones. E-coated mk3 rails have the capability to add boat sides.

Ahhh ok.

I would love these steps ... but with reports like these I still refuse to give money to a company that has delays, poor communication, and lack of presence on the forums.

Kind of odd that a company like Roam would not become a forum sponsor. They could only benefit I would think. Obviously they are very busy regardless. Someone mentioned LOD as an option. I will look but I don't want to mess with body bolts so will have to see how they attach and what they look like. There are others that look good but I like the body protection from stones etc coming off the tires.

The load destroyer sliders do not attach to the main body bolts

Right, the only downside I have to purchase / rent / borrow a right angle drill to drill out the "optional" holes in the frame.

Well they are optional lol. I think it’s just one hole too.

I think that price is for stainless steel MK3

Well, I went ahead and ordered the frame mount because of the additional E-coat step for rust protection.

The ROAM steps on your rigs sure look sharpe! A question (or 3) for those of you with the frame mounted ROAM: About how big is the gap between the rail and the outside of the body? What’s the gap between pinch seam and the frame mounting brackets? Have you had any contact between body and the ROAM metal when flexing off road?

Thanks,
Bill

The frame mounted MK3 rails sit about 1/2" away from the body. I can't imagine them flexing enough to be able to contact the body. They feel like an extension of the frame.

My Frame mounted side steps will be arriving soon. Any tips on install from someone that has done it? Breaker bar needed to undo any bolts? Thanks
