Does anyone make any bolt-on side steps to attach to the standard Rubicon side rails? I want to leave on the Rubicon protection for the sides and bottom but due to short legs I'd like some "help" climbing in. Any thoughts?

 

I wish. A few companies have weld on kits but no bolt-on, or more importantly bolt-off, kits. I've been hoping for the same thing. MBRP has bolt-ons for their rock rails that a few people have thought would work with Rubi rails but I don't know that anyone has actually pulled the trigger.

Carr makes side steps that bolt to the body underneath the factory rubi rails. I just put some on my 4 dr rubicon. I'll post pictures tomorrow. They're pretty easy to put on, you just have to drill some holes in the pinch seam behind the rails. You can find them at carr.com.

 

I use the Body Armor for rails & steps. they mount to the pinch seam - look good, function good.

these act as both slider and steps
and it has a full length plate that can act as protection.

its not the best product but it does address a few issues (short wives)

 

I've been looking for something for my Rubicon too. The wife already has trouble getting in and when I add my lift and 33's, I'm not sure how she'll ever ride with me again unless I get a step of some sort.

Here's the set up I'm considering. Looks good, is functional, but it's permanent.

Check out the MBRP Rock Rails and optional steps. Great when you need them, and unbolt when you want to go offroad.

Here's a not-so-great pic of the Carr step on the passenger side of my 4dr rubi.
