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 took the pics live while in Moab out on the trail. They get nice and black once rinsed off. I'll post a pic in the morning , I just came home from Moab and rinsed off the car but it's dark now.

Washed the dust off the car last night. This is how it looks in the morning. It's pretty overcast here.

There is grip tape on the sliders, comes with it, that makes it easy to step on it without sliding off.

thank you! How durable is the surface? Do you imagine tearing it or scrapping chunks off? Say you have gravel stuck in the soles of your shoes?

It looks durable to me. My friend has had his on for a couple of months and it looks the same as when new.
Dissent off-road recommended putting this truck bed liner on underneath the slider for touch-up purposes after rock contacts. They said its better than paint and much tougher.
I took this picture at Dissents workshop in Auburn, CA when i was there to have the slider installed (it was on the way to Moab and i saved on shipping).

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

It would be best to message/email them, but I would imagine the standard 10-12 weeks

I put on the Owl step sliders. I like them a lot. However my wife hates them. They have holes for grip, like other types do, and her heels get caught in them. I would have also preferred they kick out in the back, not the front.

I have the Owl step / sliders after having the factory step bars and I can say I'm much happier with the Owl sliders. More stable step to get in / out of the seat and the sliders are tough! I inadvertently tested them at Moab and they worked better than expected.

How does the OEM look from above? From the side view, that tremendous gap between the bar and rocker panel has me thinking feet will fall thru and get stuck in the gap
lol, the photograph is deceiving. if you look at the step from the top there are almost no space for your feet, meaning they are really close to the body of the car. ill take some better pictures for you.

White Knuckle “Zero Degree” Sliders from Shadowmarq Industries:
The ‘bump out’ at the rear provides a very useful step for rear seat access, as the rear doors are smaller and do not open as widely as the front doors.

I’m picking up my White Knuckle sliders later this week. I ordered them in bare metal and trying to decide between rattle can black paint for easy touch up or brush on bed liner. Power coat looks better but is more difficult to touch up the scratches that are sure to come.

I love that the AO sliders tuck up high and replace the factory plastic but I have never been a fan of body mounted sliders.

The Agile sliders are unique in that they mount to the body, but in my experience with other vehicles this is a non issue. The vast majority of sliders for the Jeep Wrangler are body mounted and they are more than up to the task. Even the OEM sliders on the Wrangler Rubicon are body mounted. And unless I am mistaken the AO sliders can be removed and the vehicle returned 100% back to stock with no visible alterations.
