EVO makes great sliders. But for a step type, check out the LOD slider. @wayoflife had these on jet for a period of time so you can find pics in the build thread.
Will add they don’t hold up well on the rocks BUT the extra skid you can add to them helps a ton.
Are those the electric ones? I talked to a few folks with them they all like them but they are pretty pricey and me and wiring don’t get along. I can screw up a simple switch wiring.
I don't think it's too narrow. Just that if you can get your foot up to the top of it, you've practically got your foot inside your Jeep.
Yeah thanks but those are pricey enough then to add skid protection just bumps it even higher, and I’d still run he risk of mangling them. Gonna be a hard pass for me.
Yeah I see what you’re saying. The top is right there so while it’s a step it’s kind of high. I carry a little step stool for my 81 year old mom now maybe I’d have to start using it too. That might be pretty tough on the ego.
the 1st generation were horrible on the rocks and I witnessed them fail after the 1st hit when they were introduced at EJS.
Yeah that makes sense but still that price ouch. They probably make sense. Most of my use is on road or mall crawling. Certainly like the price of the bombers at less than 1k or right around with powder coating. opposed to like three grand for the RSE. They are gen 3 now so presume even better than gen 2? Certainly more expensive.
So they definitely won’t hold up in the rocks with out the skids, and even with the skids, I had to pry my steps out after the last time, but they are back working fine. Kinda a give and take, they are perfect for the wife and kids, but I don’t love them and they are pretty well over priced. But overall I do like them but wouldn't purchase them again for a jeep that was going to see rocks. I will eventually be replacing.
