Default Any side-step recommendation to use with OEM Rubi rock rails...

My 7 & 8 y-olds are having a heck of a time getting into my Rubi. I'd like to put steps on for them that allow me to keep the OEM rubi rails on. I'd also like to remove them for the occasional off-road expedition.
If you know of any, please let me know. Thanks!

look into Ace rock rails. they work great as a step and will fit with the rubi rails for added protection.

Thanks.
I was hopping for a small step versus a full rail, but it appears it does not exist.
I will look into the Ace rails.

Ck some of the off road places in your area for some used ones of some sort.. I picked up a pair for my 2012 Rubi 4 door for $100. They were used, I took em home, sanded em, primed em then painted with with, roll bar n chassis paint.. they looked brand new.
Someone had bought a pair of high dollar rock rails n these were just 3" tube steps but fit with my Rubi rails.. the work great n look great for now.. when I decide to hit the rock garden ill upgrade to more solid step, like ACE...
