Why that choice if you don’t mind me asking? Also how was installing?

The dealer had them installed at a local shop. I like the boards, although i have had problems with the led lights that light up when they deploy. The boards are stable and have ample room to step up on them to get in and out of the jeep.

Just installed the slide engineering sliders with step today. They are not cheap but are very nice and are stout. Our jeep is our overland and rock crawling rig so we wanted a step but good protection.

I used heat on every body mount bolt to make sure I did not break one, which I guess sounds pretty common. I heated each one and worked it back and forth slowly. It appeared to me that both front body mount bolts had red locktite from the factory so i wonder if those are the ones people are breaking. I installed the entire wire harness loose and zip tied it all done very last. The install is pretty straight forward and not to difficult. The interior trim panels can be a little bit of a pain to pop loose. They push in towards the inside of the jeep not up. I keep reading people having issues with the steps. I guess time will tell but it sounds like their customer service is very good.

Had Amp Research installed by a shop on mine a couple of months ago. Very stable. Like the LED lights.

Had Amp Research on my JK for several years. Worked Ok in the summer, but were terrible in the winter. I'll never buy them again.
