Do you like the alien sunshade?
Close to pulling the trigger on one, getting sunburn is bad!
I do like it! Only issue is I'm having some trouble with one of the clips for above the windshield. Keeps sucking up inbetween the windshield and trim. Overall great product!

Step Sliders are installed! Took about five hours including removing Rubi sliders. These things are HEAVY DUTY! I’m not sold on the magnets to open/close doors. One magnet was broke in half in the box but I got it to work until I can get more. All hardware was included and everything fits perfect! I think they added an extension to the JLU sliders but I don’t necessarily think that is bad, we’ll see. There is plenty of step to enter the back, or so it appears. More after we’ve used them for a while!

Removing stock sliders & adding Step Sliders added 100 lbs.

Hey @Pat2Alaska why did you have to take the box under the back seats out in order to put the steps on the outside of the truck? Got me scratching my head here.

To run the wiring under the carpet! Sorry, that is a bit confusing! The control module sits behind the storage box.

You sir are outta control!! Your build is coming along nicely. I am def going to get the RSE steps. I have a lot to catch up now - Basically if I mix your build with @ralphjjr - I have my build LOL

I meant to ask you if you got the lights as well for the steps?

Thanks for the pictures. Maybe I will do this after all, seeing as how there aren’t any others that are similar.
