I’ve also struggled with the choice of sliders v steps, but ended up changing the order to steps on the basis that I’ve not “needed” sliders in the 4wd-ing I’ve done for the last 10 years. But I had to have one or the other to support the brush bars.
On the side topic of roo impacts, the Ineos guys said at a demo day that the bar design specifications were to take an 80kg impact at 100km/h with body damage but remain drivable. I’m hoping the brush bars will help with that. One of my cars recently hit a roo that bent the bar back into the guard and caused a lot of damage. Brush bar should help prevent that a little.
You never know when the roos will turn on you -
