Factory rock sliders were not useful as side steps and the factory side steps were too low (think only mounted at each end) and were thus prone to being damaged and reduced ground clearance whist off roading. Therefore I wanted side steps that were mounted higher, were mounted in 3 places and could also provide damage protection to the sills below the doors.
First engineering shop were too expensive and would be cheaper importing. 2nd shop said ok (price about $2k but I’m also covering their development costs so should be cheaper for repeat orders) so meeting with them to finalise design. We have discussed them having two bars with foot plate in between and both ends angled off the same as the corners of the front and rear bumpers. Texture similar to wheel guards/bumpers in black colour.
