But it is true that side protection is also a thing especially in forested areas and tight washes in the desert. I don't know if aluminum can resist being pressed from the side as well as steel. But I think you do have a point when it comes to side protection.
You're totally right, and right now I've got no sliders/steps/running boards and no issues. But sometimes I think it would be nice to have a bit of a step of some sort to help my wife get in. I don't want to go with something like nerf steps because of the clearance issues, but don't "need" full sliders. I go round and round on this and who knows if I'll ever do anything about it...
