    Does anyone have these? Or have any experience with them? Im looking for something other than tubes and not sliders for my truck for my wife/kiddo to get in.

    Thoughts?

    I've never seen those. They look like a awesome compromise between sliders and tube steps.

    If you are a mall crawler those would work (although in my opinion ugly as sin) but if you go offroad expect them to be destroyed

    As stated Im not looking for sliders. However, I do see the fact that if you slipped goodbye shins. I wouldnt put the LED's in there. Just different.

    I had N-Fab steps previously and was not happy with them. The powdercoat came off after about 6 months, and they wanted $150 for shipping back and forth (paid by me) to warrant the powdercoat.

    Those look like they hug the body so closely that they wouldn't be much a of side step. Your foot would practically already be high enough to just step into the cab by the time you got it to the step.

    I imagine the paint will be an issue on these too. I would just go to walmart or Lowes or something and get some rustoluem truck bed coating rattle cans and repaint your n-fabs. Mine sliders have been holding up well after almost 8 months now and I use them as steps to get in.
