side step options

Register to hide this ad
I asked a similar question when I first bought my SR5 two years ago. I got several responses advising to get sliders rather than side steps, but I had no interest in using the rig for bumping over rocks and logs. Rather, I wanted something with a little bling that were also functional for steps. So, I got Westin Signature side bars. I may get bashed for adding something shiny that also lowered the ground clearance a couple of inches, but they have suited my use and look good (in my opinion).
 
My wife and I both really liked the Nfabs. I had to change to sliders after I determined I was going to be doing a little more serious off roading than I thought. I lightly dragged the step part a couple of times and decided to upgrade. But they are nice and aggressive looking, have plenty of strength (I go as much as 290), and are easy to install. You could do worse.

Are you still running the "Shrockworks Step Sliders"?
 
I just ordered Rocky Road Outfitters sliders. I like the tucked close design.

Haven't received them yet, but will post up when they are installed.
 
It doesn't seem like much but those little stirrup loops on the Nfabs are much more convenient.

My nfab's are being shipped right now. I'm excited to see how they look. I went with them because my wife wanted steps.

Where are you guys buying the nfabs? My dealer sells them, but I'm guessing I could get a better price online.

Do you think they'd pass the kid test? I need my 5yr old daughter to be able to get in by herself. Just picked up a trail premium this evening :)

I'm gonna replace my ugly shiny limited side steps w/ Westins b/c N-fabs are not made for Limiteds.

Can cut the rocker, remove it, or there was someone making spacers for those nabs. See antman's build thread for cutting, it looked good.

Got mine from East Coast Jeeps (in Georgia) via Amazon.com.

My 6 year old daughter uses them everyday. Works great.:cheers:

I don't want to do any cutting and paying for spacers on top of the already more expensive steps didn't seem worth it to me. The Westins in black (which look like the black 14+ trail steps) look good IMO
 
I have the NFabs plus Ride spacers. My shrockworks trail edition rocker shipped today so I'll be getting rid of the ride spacers soon. Willing to sell them to you if you're interested. They work great. I'm just trying to shift toward true sliders as soon as my sons are a little taller. PM me if interested.
