Steps added to factory rock sliders

Is there any kind a version of this where they are attached with removable bolts so that for the majority of the time when we’re driving around town my wife can get in and out, but when I’m going to go up in the hills, I can take them off? or leave them on and replace them if they get jacked up?

It seems that for for any 4x I’ve owned (Jeep, 4Runner) there are steps and there are rock rails. The step parts don’t seem to have the strength of the rock rail. Your’s are pretty low profile, robust and attached well, so the step part will act like a rail?

Or is it that most steps, aren’t built to rail strength standards, and drop below any kind of rail position so they will either bend or get caught?

Why wouldn’t Ineos offer a version of your set up?

I made some easily removable steps on ineos factory rock sliders the day of delivery, and so far so good.
I used 2 x 48mm x 1.5m mat black and galvanised fencing tubes from bunnings $20.00 each, 4 temporary fencing clamps each side $5.00 each from a temporary fencing place, 4 plastic end plugs $1.90 each from Stratco, and a can of mat black paint $9.50 from Repco. Will post some pictures tonight they don't sit as far out as the factory brush bars, and the fencing clamps although parralel connection's match the brush bar to roo bar connection's.
Very quick and easy to remove, but you need to firmly tighten the bolts.
I baught a spare tube as they were so cheep and a couple of spare temporary fencing clamps. 5 minute job to remove.

I had a local welder fabricate some nerf bars/steps for the factory rock sliders. I had something similar on my LR4 and really missed having the step on the Ineos sliders.

After preparing/cleaning the bare metal I just painted them with a few coats of primer and rustoleum paint. I painted over the original powder coating too after some sanding and cleaning. The factory powder coat is extremely thin with a lot of chips and nicks from only 1700 miles of driving. From past experience when sliders get used the powder coating gets scratched off so it will be easy to touch up any scrapes and scratches with paint to prevent rusting.

Sorry I was a bit late with the photos, my old 92.2kg 203lb Irish Wolfhound Roland always likes to get in the action, the ARB compressors are mounted above rock slider and chassis height, they are waterproof, and mounted to a bash plate pictured, I made the loom, and the air intake is in the engine bay along with the air outlet, power supply etc.
The tyres are 295/70r17 Yokahama Geolander's on Black Rhino Yellowstone rims 38+, and Eibach aftermarket springs.

Are they friction fit only? Is there anything to prevent rotation if a real lard a$$ steps on them?
