Side Steps for the Wifey

[YooperCracker]

Thinking that I won't likely go rock crawling (I couldn't bear to put a scratch in my baby), I added some side steps so my wife has an easier time getting in. Bonus, I can now wash the bird crap off the hard top.

The steps were cheap, $145 from Amazon Warehouse. I guess I only want to empty one pocket. The only issue with them is the rails are straight and the body is rounded so there is a gap at the back end. But from a distance, they look okay.

The bottom sides of the steps are higher than the lowest skid plate, so there's that. But I can always swap the factory rock sliders back in if I get a wild hair up my derriere and want to try the Rubicon Trail or Moab. It'd take about an 45 minutes or so to do the swap.

I got a pair of stock running boards and put in place on my stock rock rails that came with the Rubicon, did this for the wife, and I don't do rock crawling.
Only a few months old, looked new, and found them on Facebook marketplace for $100.
Will probably sell my rock rails on Facebook when I get tired of looking at them in the garage.

Good score!

I didn't know there were stock running boards. How do they look? Any pics?

Sure, here is a pic of the stock running boards on my Diesel Rubicon.
I think these come stock on the Texas Trail edition, but not sure.

Looks really nice! And only $100. What a find!

They came on my Overland from the factory too. Didn’t last long, I sold em for 40 bucks and bought Rubi rock sliders for 50 bucks. Good trade.

Wish I'd have asked if you wanted running boards, could have cleared off most of a shelf!

I bet you could assemble a whole 'nother jeep from all the parts on your shelves!

No sir, I'm a long way from that although my wife might argue.
