Default Side Step Question
I have a 2rd JK and looking into getting the Rugged Ridge Side Step Bars (http://www.quadratec.com/products/12112_50X_PG.htm) and was wondering if they would also double as a Rocker Guard.

The other alternative would be the Rugged Ridge RRC Side Armour guards (http://www.quadratec.com/products/12052_600_07.)

Any thoughts and pic's would be great!!

unfortunately, side steps like this will NOT serve as a good rocker guard. if you're looking for protection, you will need something made for it.

Many of the rocker guards will also function as steps. Checkout Hanson or Purejeep. I went with Poison Spyder
