Comprehensive list of all known Grenadier Side Steps

3mm isn’t burly. Since buzz went thru the hassle of welding them up instead of using tube, they could have at least used 1/4” (6mm) for that long wide flat bottom plate… and SS is a solution looking for a problem. Every couple years mine gets a fresh coat of paint and new anti slip tape after sanding out the scratches anyway. Decades old, and looking like new… ish…
That’s cool. Every couple of years I won’t even touch mine. And everything rusts on the East coast. Did you see what @Logsplitter ’s steps looked like after touring Africa?
 
There are advantages to living in a dry western climate. Pretty sure I could install raw unpainted sliders and the most that would happen is a bit of minor surface rust. In practice I simply use a bit of spray paint annually on any areas that have been scrapped down to raw metal on all my rigs. Stainless steel is completely unnecessary when your average daily humidity level is below 20% :-). Nice problem to have I realize. For those in wetter climates rust is very real!
 
Hi @312Haleiwa, what do you think about your Shadowmarq/White Knuckle sliders/steps. I am debating on flat vs. 20 deg tilt and top plate or just the bar...my wife needs a step to get in the truck, but I don't want anything that drops too low. Can you provide feedback? TIA.
AndyT - attached some photos to give you several angles. I was in the same boat as my wife needed a step but I also wanted a rock slider. Installation was easy and all the holes lined up perfect. Each one weighs about 75lbs and are solid. Great service and communication from Shawdowmarq and shipping to Seattle area was $450. Not a fan of the WK in the top plate, but you can see how it’s attached in one picture from underneath. Eventually I will swap that top plate out. One other note is using this as a step is pretty high at roughly 16.5” above pavement, so a lower step would make the climb in easier perhaps. Feel free to DM with any other questions or dimension needs.

Super happy with the Buzz setup and despite it being rather costly, the quality is evident. I do like the kick out bit that the WK and some of the others have incorporated though.

I dunnknow... maybe as a LR guy you're accustomed to that organic biodegradable British steel. Pittsburgh driven in salt strewn streets, never garaged and 10 sunny days a year. 2 decades old. 2x3x1/4 sq tube and and 2" dom. Every so many years I'll hand sand the accumulated paint scratches smooth with 220 and spray. Stainless won't make paint indestructible! I can drop off of a ledge and slam these on anything, without the slightest dent. The goal is impact resistance, and that's plate, not sheet. Buzz does make a pretty step though. :p I did wipe dirt off for the glamor pic after the rain.
 
I’m on a total reset loop on this, and I can’t make a decision. It’s just delays further getting the stuff on.
If you plan on wheeling, make sure what you decide on is sufficient to the task, first. It's not a cheap truck so, function before form. Lesser stuff can turn into a damage multiplier if it creases and bends.
 
Has anyone mounted the Dissent Offroad Step Sliders https://dissentoffroad.com/collections/ineos-grenadier/products/ineos-grenadier-step-slider I was looking at the Buzz options but like the look of the Dissent ones too. My wife and our elderly parents have trouble with the thin tube of the OEM steps so I'm looking for something wider with a non-skid step. If anyone has experience with these I'd appreciate hearing about it. Thanks!
I was very curious about them as well! One guy on the USA Ineos FB group has them, Dissent is on there too. The reason I ended up not ordering them was I was unsure about the "rubberized" grip they used, would it work in snow, would it flake off, etc. Plus the Buzz being stainless were better for winter anyway. Difference was $700, which is sorta negligble when talking about a forever step.
 
Does anyone have a direct contact at Black Sheep? I’d like to order but I wanted to find out ETA and shipping directly to my shop. Submitted a question but haven’t heard anything back.

Hi Milehigh
I don't have any personal details but I believe there are only the two of them hence the delay in replies. I also had to wait some time before hearing back from them.

Wait, because they have a dealer here in states now. They are loading them up for distribution. Rreglobal is the name.

I jumped on their website, and sent them an inquiry. Within two hours on the Sunday of memorial day weekend, they responded with a personal note filling me in on how they’re going to be the dealer here in the US. Hopefully a good indicator of their service commitment.
 
Can anyone compare/contrast the Buzz and Black Sheep rail/step combos? I like the Black sheep for the modularity, but they seem light? And not cheap either.
 
I can’t speak for the Blacksheep version however, having owned the Buzz product for almost a year I have found the step section of the sliders are very practical and provide a good platform on which to stand. The sliders look and feel absolutely rock solid and blend in perfectly with the Grenadier itself. They were expensive however I do not regret my purchase in any way, whatsoever.
