Here's my first Jeep. Up till now I've driven a '79 Super-Beetle and an '89 Volvo station wagon. Finally I have a vehicle that's capable of doing more that going to the grocery store and back.

Also, I can't decide if I like the step rails or not. Let me know what you think.

 

Welcome to the Steel Blue 2-door club! Leave the steps off, put some real rock rails on.

 

First: Stop calling it a car.

Second, Congorats on your new jeep.

Third: It is not a car. :toung:


Fourth: Rails are up to you and your needs.

Personally, i dont like them, i prefer the rocker guards or rock rails myself.

That being said, i have a Sahara with the sidesteps. They are there for the better half and for my daughters to climb in and out. If they didnt need 'em, i would ditch them as i have no problems getting in & out without touching them.

The plus side to them, is they keep a lot of crud off the side of the thing. I use my Jeep to drive back & forth to work whenever i am not on the bike (inclement weather), and i have to arrive relatively clean (for some reason the boss thinks i should)

 

Sorry, my mistake. I know it's not a car. How's "vehicle?"

 

kidding... well, i was some others seem to get rathy about that. call it whatever you want to, it's yours.

Welcome to the site. Have fun.

...And welcome

 

side steps keep your rockers from getting killed off road; but most are of the self sacrificing variety...

get some A to Z ones... they look sweet

I assume they have JK ones; we just put them on my friends TJ a week ago... there slick

 

The factory side steps are ok for keeping salt and spray off the doors, but if you are going to off-road your Jeep, they will have to be removed. If you hit a stump, rock, etc, without any type of side protection, your body could possibly be damaged. A good quality set of rock rails or sliders would save you from denting the body. There are several brands available, such as Shrockworks, PureJeep, Warn, Olympic, A to Z fab, and many others. Mine below are the Warn Rails
