Steps that work with OEM Rock Sliders?

[Reddjeep]

Anyone aware of any steps that can be added on to the existing rock rails on a gladiator mojave?

Tried searching but most make you buy a new rail system.

These are the only ones I know of unless you buy the ace sliders and use them as a step.

White Knuckle off-road and Ace Engineering are the two bigger names I can think of that allow you to do so.

I've seen reports of these working...
Rampage Rock Rail Short Steps | 4-Piece Set, Steel, Black, Rock Rails Sold Separately | 26410034 | Fits Rampage Rock Rails https://a.co/d/9sfoHly

I've been eyeballing these and think they'll work...

Or there are pictures of these working...

The first 2 will need holes drilled in the existing rock sliders.

To the OP.

I have one of these that I'd let go pretty cheap. I bought it for my wife who is 5'1" tall and she laughed at me, "no way I'm using a step".

Ha. So if you have an interest PM me. Brand new, uninstalled.

Jeez. a year or two ago i remember the ace rock sliders being 600 or so.

might due the single step ones that get screwed from the bottom into the existing rock rails. good thing is if you screw it up, people are selling the factory sliders for about 100 bucks on the forums.

the white knuckle ones are nice but expensive. maybe those will be good at some point after some of the other mods

You should definitely buy those metalcloak steps, make them work on the stock rails, them report back with lots of pics and a detailed install thread!

I'm definitely leaning that way. I like the idea of being able to run them in the down position most if the time. Then being able to flip them to the up/flat position when needed.
Last spring I had our JLURD in Moab and drug the steps on it a couple times. They both are mostly stock right now. The Wrangler has been taken over by my wife so it will stay that way. But the Gladiator is slowly, very slowly getting set up to explore.

Up position.

Down position.

As of now these are on my short list. If I go this route I'll be sure to post.

Just saw small steps on amazon for about 120. anyway, one of the reviewers said they installed into factory rock rails with rivnuts. seemed fairly straightforward. this would be good bc i also never used a rivnut gun before

the search continues but i have about 2 months before i get my mojave. still can't believe the ace rails are 1200. need something good that will cover the pinch seam.

I saw these on IG. Stupidly expensive for what they are though. At nearly $1000, you might as well buy full step/sliders.

 

[Reddjeep]

Jeez. sadly those would be perfect and are probably more of 300 purchase. no way spending 1000 for that.

Billet don't come cheap but that is massively over priced.

not sure what's better, to make a smaller profit on many, or a larger profit on a few. i would think this is a first to market situation and the most important thing is to get your product out there. it's crazy that we all search for stuff like this online and we are only learning about these on the forum

A shame with some of the smaller companies, or ones starting out, is SEO. It's hard to get your name to pop up on that first page of google search when a user searches general terms.
