Default Sahara Side Steps

Just like The Clash said - should they stay or should they go?

I am not liking the look of the plastic on the side of the Jeep - but I am not ready to pull the trigger on rock sliders. I am thinking of just removing them as they will also make the Jeep look a little higher. What do you guys think?

If you don't need them to get into your Jeep and you don't like the way they look then take them off and sell them. Problem solved.

I replaced mine with Smittybilt SRC Side Armor and love the look much more. Get a lot of compliments on them too.

I wouldn't take them off and put nothing back. Yank them off and grab a set of Rubi take offs. That's what I did on mine

Same on mine. It does make it look taller without them.

That is the first thing I removed when I bought my Sahara. I thought it made it look like a mail Jeep. Even if you can't afford something else right now, take them off and sell them. I sold mine for $50.

Replaced mine with Poison Spyder rocker knockers and I'm very pleased with them.

Had the same thoughts when I ordered my Sahara. Once I put the TF leveling kit on it didn't look bad at all, useful and helps protect from road debris too. They ended up matching my powder coated wheels and AEV bumper perfectly!
