    Thanks. I guess now the question becomes are there any sliders out there that look like these? I'm definitely a fan of the more aggressive look. But I don't see me taking my 2WD off road....j/s.

    These are bolt on? Or drilling required?

    Bolt on, I added silicone to help preventing rust where they mount

    They are too high. I stand on them and I have to squat down to get in the cab. I really didn't want steps, wife wanted them.... we tried this as a compromise as I didn't want to lose ground clearance. She probably wouldn't go this route again.... I'd probably just have regular sliders..... though they do make reaching the roof easier.

    They are made for getting pretty close to the vehicle since you want to avoid rocks and stuff. Running bars have nice steps but hang lower. Depends on what functionality you're looking for.

    Perfect information for me to base my choice on. I honestly do not see myself needing to worry about avoiding rocks and stuff. My interest is more along the lines of looks as I just feel like it needs to have a bit more of an aggressive look and can help my youngins' get in easier.

    Hi Gary, I bought same running board Ionic 61. But the brackets doesn't fit to my 2022 TRD OR. Maybe yours fit due to different year, but did you do any bending metal to fit the running board or just straight through installation?
