I recently installed the steps from Summer Auto Parts. Their delivery was fast, taking less than a week, and their communication was consistently prompt and responsive. Although the instructions provided were not very comprehensive, requiring some problem-solving on my part, the final outcome was great. The side steps look and perform great, meeting my expectations for good quality and subtle appearance while being ready for use when needed. Initially, I was concerned about their stability since they attach to the body rather than the frame, but after testing, there were no issues at all.
In addition to the shared info in this thread for these steps, I added sealant between the plaque and body where hardware connects, as I had to remove some original water seals. Next, cut the plastic trim for the mechanism to fold; I found 7 inches worked well. Lastly, plan wire placement inside the cabin; I routed mine under the door frame channel where other wires run. For grounding, use the spot behind the driver's side footrest.
Everyone has different preferences for side steps or rock sliders. These fit what I was looking for, and it's great to see the variety increasing so there’s something for everyone.
