Default Tyger Side Step Armor

I'm thinking about getting these just to test them out. I mean at $200 for a brand new set it's just hard to pass up. I was wondering if anyone has them and had a major negative experience with them.

Don't have those particular ones but I have the rock slider ones that Tyger does make very pleased with them for the price. Only difference is they don't mount to where the body mounts are like some of the smittybilt ones. They mount to where the factory running board/steps mount to. Otherwise really good quality so far.

Ah I'm glad I got some first hand knowledge on them. How is the clearance on the trail with them.

I got these and clearance is great way better than OEM steps

I just bought a Tyger tow hitch receiver for my JK and so far I'm extremely pleased with them as a company. Great quaility product. It even came with the wiring harness, for right at $50. I'd try them out for sure.

I almost bought those. I was bouncing between those and the KO Offroad (smittybuilt copy). I wanted the step that those give but I just could not get a good understanding on how far they stuck out. I didn't want anything sticking out to far and getting hung up on them.
I ended up getting these. JK 4 Door Rock Sliders - KO Off-Road

So far I am happy with them but they have only been on a week. LOL
I some days think I should have gone the other way. I guess you never know unless you try.
Nice thing is they are cheap and if you don't like them I'm sure they will be easy to sell.
