Rock Sliders With Unobtrusive Step

[BstingGray]

I have the Deegan 38 w/ KC LED lights. They work great at keeping the stones and mud off the sides and specially covers the pinch welds at the bottom of the rocker panels. We needed a flat step with good wet traction and door protection. https://www.extremeterrain.com/deegan-38-rock-sliders-w-led-rock-lights-1819-jeep-jl-4-door.html

Well there sure are lots of complaints about them…..not limited to that brand either.

I'm not sure why you're mentioning other brands, but the RSE steps work extremely well for us.

I mentioned other brands to point out that all of them have complaints, but there is a 7 pg thread devoted to just RSE issues.

I thought one of these deployable types would be a good solution for us, but doesn’t appear to be the case.

I will say that I spoke to an installer about this topic and he told me that they have much better results from 100% on road vehicles than Wranglers going off-road.

Another vote for RSE. I completely agree that being mechanical there is a good possibility at some
point you will experience an issue. This is a concern of mine also, but they are such an excellent step...which is their number one function for me.

I put on a set of Westin 42-6025 which feature a nice step with integrated rock sliders. They bolt to the frame which is preferable to me.

+1 to these, I have them as well. Haven't had a chance to expose them to abuse other than paved and dirty roads so far, but they are making a difference in blocking some debris from spraying up onto the doors.

They were a second choice after I saw the price of the LOD's, which were a bit too pricey or just plain out of stock at many of the shops I searched. No regrets. Happy rail hunting!

I’m double voting for the white knuckle off-road ones. After many, many hours of research I found them to be better built than all the others. Plus, you don’t have to remove a body mount like some.

Wouldn't that logic apply to just about anything that we're putting on our Wranglers?

I was in the market for the same thing a few months back and I went with the LOD destroyers pictured below. Held up against some rock crawling already and absolutely worth the money. Sleek looking step/slider combo!

I've had the Destroyers on my 19 JLUR for about 3 years now. They've been great. Strong, well made, and zero signs of rust going into the 3rd winter season. My Jeep has only been washed once in that time.

My wife is only 4'11", so having a dedicated step vs just a tube was needed to help her climb up. My JLUR is lifted 6" and on 40's, so it's a bit of a yoga stretch for her, but it's proven to be the perfect balance between helping her climb without hindering the Jeeps ability to do the same.

For reference, she can walk right under the sideview mirrors without hitting her head...

I need something with a step to help people get in with 37s and lift, but I don't want the step or slider to reduce ground clearance.

I took a picture on the trail yesterday to show that it would take a lot for sliders (RSE in this case) to reduce ground clearance.

Any good deals out there on the LODs?

+1 on the LOD Destroyer sliders! Awesome build quality. I was considering the automatic drop down type, but cost, and some threads in this forum influenced my decision.

My go-to for most of my Jeep parts has been Northridge 4x4. Their product page inventory statuses are always up to date, shipping times are accurate, and an added perk is that they are forum sponsors that offer us a coupon code that can save Up To 20% depending on manufacturers pricing. It's like a sale that never ends for us.

Just checked and they are currently in stock and ready for you to squeeze the trigger on...
