I’m going with Roam even though I don’t like the idea of removing factory rails. I wish Ace had come out with a flat step version rather then just tube one.

Why do you want the factory rails on? Look covering the pinch seam?

Protection is the main reason I want to keep the factory rails...not sure if Roam provides equivalent protection.

We took some DOM tube and welded to our Rubicon Rails.

Are you gonna offer this as a product.. can you duplicate. I’m in ms. I’ll come get them.. also can you step on them or does it tweak body. If so I’ll take two sets. One for me and one for my brother.

Waiting for 2-door versions of all these offerings is hard! I'm about to put 35's on my JL Rubi and I already have trouble getting in the cab ha! I'm holding out for the Rough Country Drop Step nerf bars, but I need something in the interim.

Do any of you know if there's a sure-fit hoop step out there that would bolt on to a JL without drilling?

We will be building a set of steps like we have for the JK

When are those going to be available and about how much $. I really like what you did to the Rubi rockers. Do you have a drawing or deminsons and material used.

Don't know on price yet as we have to build them first then look at production costs, materials, etc. We just made the ones on their by hand. No drawings or anything like that

Couldn't wait any longer for the LOD steps. Just bit the bullet and spend big dollars for the RSE rail and step. Meets my needs as far as looks and protection as i am not going to be doing any heavy rock climbing etc. Can get the wife, grandkids and mother-in -law in the car with out additional drama.

I went with Ace Rock Sliders and kept my stock Rubicon Rails on ! I love them and they allowed installation without removing the stock rails!

I like these in red; I wish they sold them that way. Did you paint these yourself?

Would be very interested in a set if it is a a without the tub guard. I don’t want to drill into my tub yet, so finding a good step /slider that does not have that is difficult.

Looking for some real wide side step/ slider too. I don’t know if any of you guys drive gravel roads, but one rain an a trip to town. Jeep was covered in mud and rocks. Need some boards to keep that crap off the sides.

Did you find some that you like yet? I've got the same issue. I don't foresee us doing hardcore rock crawling anytime soon, but we do tend to encounter lots of mud and gravel roads. I'm trying to decide between the ROAM and the stock plastic MOPAR set. I dislike the plastic part but they look like they'll stop more gravel/mud flying up due to fitting with the fenders better.

You bought the RSE power steps? I'm on the fence with those. I was quoted $$$ to install so I have to figure that on top of already high price. How are they?

Is there a distributor for Ace here or will they ship from the USA?

Also curious to know as I was doing some research as well and really like the idea of leaving the stock Rubicon rails on and supplementing with these too.
