What Rocksliders / Side Steps did you choose

DrAngler · Oct 12, 2024

Good morning

I have been driving my Grenadier for about 3 weeks, and with my dad and kids i think its time to add some rock sliders with side step options lol.

I went to Overland Expo East and saw a couple of options in person. But most items are still online… so it is hard to judge.

From looking st different options i am really liking the black sheep sliders with side step option. Except for the price

My criteria are that they will function as sliders as i am a newbie and certain to make mistakes

but still need side steps to help my dad get in the vehicle…

What did you choose and why? If you dont mind sharing.

Any photos?

Thanks
Gabe

Good morning,
I don't think you can go wrong with Black Sheep, all their stuff looks amazing. I chose Buzz Overland sliders. I like that they are made of stainless. I have scratched them up and don't have to worry about rust. Shipping times are pretty long for Buzz products. Also some of us had damage to the mounting portion from shipping. I am sure they have sorted that by now. If I was to do this over, I would still consider Buzz.

My car has a Nov.2024 arrival date. I already purchased lots of stuff in a pile in my garage.
In Mat 24, I bought the Urban UK side steps. They sell them out of Tennessee which cancels the VAT. $1350 + tax Instead of the all black you can get stainless on the steps for the same money. The quality is high the price was fantastic.
This is a pay less and get more purchase.

I got the Urban Sidesteps (dual bars) from BMP Tuning after calling to confirm they were a direct fit. $1349.00 no tax, no shipping. They came in three days in perfect condition and we installed in about 20 minutes. Two people to hold and bolt. Super simple. They are a game changer and for me the right choice. Love them.

I did not know about these. Thank you for that.
Congrats on the new purchase. I will tell you, i was a bit worried when i got my Grenadier. I have only had problems with my 2 BMWs, horrible. But this is wow so far. I think the toyota / bmw collab hit the engine out of the park. I had a Landcruiser 250 hybrid and this Grenadier is getting same mpg

That landcruiser was such a let down

nothing like old ones or 70 series.

Sliders / steps are defintely the next item nexessary. So many things and goodies to add but this is the priority as my daily driver.

Thanks for feedback

Got the Buzz Overlands as I like that it's stainless steel. And they look pretty good on the Grenny.

I ordered Buzz rocksliders from OK4WD in early September for the next batch and expect to receive them sometime in December.

I got these from XLW. They work as steps, sliders and keep idiots in car parks from scratching your doors. A bit cheaper than many.

BengaliKert · Oct 12, 2024

Love the White Knuckle. If you plan to use them as sliders, make sure they aren’t just a tubular step. There are a few options for these. Flat. With top plate. Angled.

Keeping idiots in town parking lots away is a thing

I fitted ABNTR4x4 rock sliders, after a recommendation from @wakeo. Pictures are from Wakeo's car here.

Because they are:

rocks sliders;
also act as a half step;
fit really close to the car, replacing the OEM trim;
have more clearance than any other slider I have seen; and
they look great.

They are buy once, cry once, but I never regretted the decision - it was the right one for me. I was hesitant and Wakeo gave a strong recommendation and he was right.

My car

I had to make some minor mods for Australian use, discussed here. Wakeo did not have this issue.

Just ordered the Dissent Rock Sliders, they're running 12 to 14 weeks (they said it could be sooner). Will share pics when I get them.

If you were at Expo East and on the hunt for step sliders, we probably chatted at the LFD Off Road booth....

I like all of these above and went with the factory ones for my first Grenadier (see pic below), but would like some electric/motorized ones for my second one. Does anyone know of a pair of electric side steps that also has lights on them that fit our vehicle? If so can you post a link or provide the vendors info? Thanks.

I put on the dissent off-road sliders. Really happy with them. Tested them in Moab this weekend and they did their part on the one place where I touched rock..

I see the slider’s grip surface is dusty af. Does the dirty brush/rinse off easily? Or does it remain with the dusty tone?

I have had other sliders in the past where the sandpaper-ish top plate surface was persistently “dirty” looking.

I can't thank everyone enough for this thread!!! Super helpful, as my parents are getting a bit older and we like to take them around I might have to look for a deploy step for them or just carry a folding stool.....
