I Couldn't Find Any Rock Sliders with Bolt-on Steps

[Aonarch]

As the title states, I couldn't find any sliders that I liked that included bolt-on steps.

A few sliders were more parallel to the ground, and could be used as a step, but not perfect for a lifted truck.

I really liked the Fab Fours sliders and ordered them. I then casually looked around for clamp on style steps. I was shocked to not really find any out there. The sliders are 2" OD, pretty standard I'd think.

I stumbled across these Warrior Products steps, which are designed to be welded on. The mounts are not perfectly curved, but they are still for 2" OD. A quick massage with an angle grinder solved the mounting issue. I then used 1/4" grade 8 bolts and hardware to mount them, drilling through both the steps and through the sliders. They feel very solid to me, and for serious off-road trips, they can be un-bolted easily with a 7/16" socket. I did think about using rivnuts, but in my case, the bolts go through both sides of the slider, which increases the strength.

I have. They look really poorly made in person.

These look pretty great!
any shots looking straight down above the door sill and down the side?

These look great! I was in the same boat and went with ps rocker Knockers which look a lot like these.

Did these come with the drop steps or did you add them later?

Poison Spyder sells the steps for it separately. It comes 2 per, so you need to order 2 sets of steps if you want all 4.

White Knuckle Offroad makes rock sliders with step plates. Excellent quality, and bomb proof.

Here is what I decided on. They work great!!! MORE Hide a step.

Looks like a great low cost fix. Any problems with the install? What is your feed back after using them for awhile?

I’ve got a set on the front doors. I don’t know if I jacked up the install or what, but mine will not spring up. They are either up or down. Other than the possible user install error, they have been great. They tuck up real nice when you and I haven’t had an issue on the trail with them either.

I do want a set of the white knuckle sliders though… very expensive but worth it if you are at hobbit height like myself.

We love these steps and will get another pair for the rear doors. I did have an issue with the install. The pictures on the installation sheets aren't that great, but once I saw my error, they installed in less than 30 minutes and was very easy.
