If you google "Rugged Ridge Pinch Seam cover", you will get lots of results.

Thanks for that link. When I googled all I got was stuff related to tonneau covers.

No worries.

Another trick is to google the subject and add "JLWranglerforum" and you will get all the hits from in here as well.

EDIT: If I can add the factory rails to my order still, I think it looks better rather than seeing the pinch seams.

Having said that, definitely looking for a frame-mount slider that will bolt over them, or in general if I can't add them now to my order. Leaning towards Shrockworks or similar.

I went with Ironman 4x4, Raid Rock Rails to serve as a step. Pics below. With Hammerhead Pinch Seam covers/protectors behind them to hide the little bit of pinch seam you could see. The rails were a breeze to install and are solid.

I think they qualify as frame mount… use the two bolts on either side of each of the two body mount bolts under rear door, and then nut plates dropped/held behind frame holes towards the front. (I specifically ruled out any rails using the body mount bolts in my search.)

We’re supposed to double as a step for wife, but already hearing that she was ‘thinking’ they’d have a lower step part built in (my mind reading failed that day).

Looks great, I like the addition of the pinch seam covers. Did it look like you could remove the sticker?

Shrockworks makes an excellent product if you’re willing to wait for they to build it. It’s worth it. Good ground clearance, strong, and good protection. I’ve used their products on multiple jeeps and other brand vehicles too.

ShrockWorks 4x4 is Out of Business

I'm replacing the silly-looking chrome tube step I originally put on my 2020 Wrangler (what was I thinking?). This last weekend I was doing some rocks and smashed the left side one. Good riddance... There's a of lot of praise here for several different brands of rock slider/step combos, so that's good. So, let me ask for different advice; anything I should avoid or look out for? I do need a step for the petite wife to use!
Also, is it that hard to use the body bolts for mounting? I'm no mechanic but I can do some wrench bending.
Thanks much...

I put a set of the Gen Right steps on my wife's JLUR since she is 5' 3" and she is very pleased with them. We tried them out a few times on our trip to Moab as well at our local off road park. They can be bolted or welded, I chose to bolt them. If you choose them and want to bolt them up, look for a right angle drill and stubby drill bits.

I beat the absolute shit out of my LOD signatures. It's a bit of a step. I bent the stock rubi rails and also the ROAM prior to these.
