Sliders or Steps

[Devil6Dog]

Go to Walmart and get one of these collapsable steps. Wife loves it. Had nerf steps and sold them cause got hung up. Was looking at mechanical steps but surely they would get damaged. Going to get poison Spyder Rocker knockers. This step is best of both worlds except you do have to put on back of jeep for her.

Me too!

1)heavy duty slider
2)works as a step
3)allows to keep rubi rails covering pinch seam

Great looking Jeep! Too bad Ace jacked up the price on those.

Thanks. Oh man I didn’t realize, that sucks.

You can have both. I am current.y considering both of these. They look to have a functional step compared to others I have seen.

That’s what my dad does with his Tacoma so my mom can get in the truck. Lol!

Thanks for the ideas.
Any thoughts on those that are a little cheaper? Under $500

You guys rock.

What’s the weight limit on one of those? I have a very fat “disabled“ “sister” who could use that, as she slide out and off the seat to get out. Really starting to show some wear over there…

lo I use it to was the top of my jeep. I am 225 no problem. Doubt it would prevent her from sliding off seat though..

She’s north of 300… It’s a snug fit over there.

Sadly this is what I might be looking at for both my wife and myself. Depending on lift and tire size of course.

You should be fine, just grab handle and pull yourself up. Some women lack upper body strength and can't pull themselves up. My wife shoulders started hurting from pulling herself in hence the step. And I am on 35's, wait till I get 37's

Just put on some LOD Destroyers. Liking them so far.

I did a combination using some Westin triple tube sliders with a flat platform on top.

I needed them as I have a vertically challenged wife and I wanted sliders without the problem of steps hanging up.

What I really like is that these bolt to the frame, not the pinch weld seam.

Agreed, I prefer the mounting on the Westin product.

IMO, the "steps" offer by most sliders add no functional value, and only create an additonal ledge you have to clear when you get out. Unless you can get one with a step that is greater than 8 inches below the height of the sill, you would be better off not using anything.

I would stick to true sliders, or (better yet) the stock rubi rails. If you want fixed steps (i.e. not the automatic rockers), then I believe Poison Spyder and LOD Armor Lite offer removable steps in case you feel the need to slide at some point in the future.

My 5’1“ wife disagrees. The roam frame mounted slider/steps we have “work“ for her. according To her, they “greatly” help her get into and out of my unlifted rubicon.
