how many with sliders use's them as steps

so thats the question if you bought your sliders as a combo slider steps ,do you find that you use them as steps
my main concern is getting out ,will i be able to get my heel on them, an then rotate out,or am i just go into slide on by them covering my leg with road grime each time?

 

Where do you thing you'll be getting sliders for the DC LB? I've been lookn a little and want some for my rig!

 

i use mine as a step, but they dont stick out from the side of the truck too far. when exiting the truck, i try to step out past them. sometimes i rub my pant leg, sometimes i dont.

 

I've got Avid bolt-on sliders and use them for steps and door ding protection. They do not stick out too far and my leg barely rubs when stepping out of the truck. Here are a few pics for reference:

 

I bought some textured tape from McMaster-Carr and put it on the top of the sliders I had on my FJ Cruiser. No more slippage.

 

+1 on the Avid Sliders. I rattle canned mine, so they don't look as nice, but the fit is great.

Although I don't use them as steps, my wife and kids do.

Great insurance on door dings as well.

One of these days, I need to unbolt them, get them sandblasted and powder coated.

 

Brandon with avid will make you set
someday beefedtaco will make a set too, is the rumor

 

Okay thanks! Nice rig by the way!

 

We sell a bolt on slider kit. I believe they stick out far enough to be used as a step.

Get that ejector seat!

 

he makes weld on ones too.. just sayin.. but yeah bad idea using bolt on's as sliders

 

haha well the website does say they are steps that look like sliders, i've been looking at his and relentless fabs sliders for my truck

 

my parents, GF and guests use the sliders and oh shit handles in order to get into the truck

 

FWIW, 99.99% of bolt on sliders are used as steps/door ding protection and "minor" off-roading.

Not all of us out there want to weld sliders on to our frame, so a bolt on is a great way to go.

As far as "Avid" not being a bullet proof product for their Welded Sliders, I beg to differ...

 

jus when i clean my truck n shit

 

lol i need weld on sliders

 

Demello Offroad and Shrockworks have them.

 

I have demello offroad hybrid bolt on sliders but I haven't got into drilling the frame. I secured them using the frame's existing holes, so these sliders are used as steps for now.

 

uhhhh umm. There is one other company that comes to mind.

EXACTLY! It's all in the number of legs/placement of them. Also the hardware has a role in it.


If you think bolts on are weak then explain this

Yes the whole passenger side of the truck is lifted from a single point on the slider.
