Easy fix......

A buddy had a lifted wrangler in high school, we all loved taking his little sister wheeling with us but it was hard for her to get in by her self. He didn't even have sliders. We made some simple sliders in metal shop but we spot welded a loop of chain to hang down low enough for her to get her foot on and POW!, getting in was cake!.

Now, it wasn't the most sturdy answer but it worked and when it was time to drag the jeep over rocks, the chain simply followed along, never got caught on anything.

I suppose you could weld some tabs and make the chain bolt on too.

Food for thought. ......

That just brought back a ton of fond memories! .

 

Ditto. Note that you will have to step out instead of down, or the rail will rub on your work pants, jeans, leg, and depending on the season, May or may not be an issue. I'm used to it now, but I let people know when they are first timers in my Jeep.

 

I put on the e auto grilles from eBay I know there are haters but they fit perfectly look great and I just got back from moab and drug then on numerous rocks they held up better than my fuel tank skid can't beat the price 260 ish shipped

 

These are probably way outside the price range you were looking at, but I saw them on an AEV rig in a Youtube video. They're rock rails that drop down when the door is opened. They even have a version with LED's to light up the steps.

Those ranchos look great but 699 atm is pricey! Would get in the way of lift money lol

Looks good, BlackJeep. Do these install to the body mounts like the Ace bolt-ons?

 

Garvin wilderness rock rails are what I have and can purchase a removable step for them that hooks into rail. had the same problem with wife when I went 4.5" with 37's.

Those look exactly the same as Smittybilt SRCs.

OP... as the most qualified person here to answer your question (I'm 5'4").

If not wheeling, then the smittybilt SRC or their duplicates in the quote above from ebay are the best cost effective sliders. I think they look pretty awesome as well.... but....

They suck if you are going to play on rocks. They only have two support legs, so they would get pushed in in the middle on impacts. Note, this only happened if banging your jeep around like I did.

As steps though, they are awesome... lots of platform to stand on.
