Question Highrock Slider Step

Hey folks, I did some searching through the forums for some step solutions that didn't sacrifice body protection. I've got the stock rubi rock rails on my vehicle now, but I'm only 5'5" and it can be a hassle getting up into the cab. I've picked up a pair of grab handles but I'd like a side step that still provides the basic protection my rock rails do. I've come to the conclusion that the Bestop Highrock Slider Step would be a good compromise. They appear to incoporate a plate or something that wraps around the body. All descriptions I've seen say "No drilling" but they don't say "bolt on" and everyone knows that self tapping screws don't count as drilling. Has anyone installed these steps? Got pics?

I'm waiting to try these myself, but no one seems to actually have them in stock.

Did you put these over your stock rubi rails or did you take em off. I heared that you could leave the stock ones on and put these over em. I have ordered a set for my rubi and was wondering. Pics would be great too!!!
