Rockslide Slider/Steps

[Call Me TD]

Those of you with Rockslide Steps, is the top part of the step by the door opening stout enough to step on as well. I would assume if it can but you know what thye say about assuming.

Yes, definitely.

 

[Call Me TD]

Yes, definitely.

Thanks!

 

[Terrymo]

Yes, stouter than the drop down step

 

[Ratbert]

Yes, the whole thing is pretty damn tough.

Yup! The only thing you don't want to step on is the step itself when it is still in motion. Ask me how I know. ;-)

How do you know?

I had the pleasure of replacing the motor on one side. So much fun, heh.

Also………… I have not done this to my Rock Sliders………however….. a few of my friends who bash HARD on their rock slider steps, have doubled wall them. You can purchase the double wall parts from Rock Slider themselves. They simply rivet onto the existing holes.

Thanks for sharing - that’s going on the to-do list.

I bought some non-slip stair tape and cut it to fit on the top to make it more useful and safer when it’s wet or snowy. Works great!

I have added the extra armor. Definitely makes them HEAVY but it's worth it.

I have the extra skid plates on the RSE sliders I have on my 392, and still managed to bend the slider enough to make the step inoperable. The opening in the skid plate no longer lines up with the step. And, the rocker panel of the Jeep actually got pushed in a small amount. That is a mystery to me, because the top of the step slider where it meets the rocker panel is still straight. Only the rocker panel got pushed in. That incident was my fault, due to driver error on Cliffhanger trail last week. I tried to follow the same line a rock buggy in front of me took. A bit too much on the skinny pedal along with the Jeep slipping off a ledge and dropping 3 feet onto the slider. Proof that if you tried hard enough you could probably break an anvil.

I called RSE and ordered a replacement this morning. I am a bit disappointed that they would not sell just the right hand side. Now I have a spare driver side that I don't think I'll ever need because I can see what is happening on my side of the Jeep
