Re: Rock Slide Retractable Steps

It looks like we have 3 or 4. Just one or two more. I'll try fishing around at some of the other off road forums for more buyers over the next few days.

The built in lights really are nice at night and the build quality is top notch.
And they include a switch to leave them up or down so when you are in camp you can use them as a step into the van or keep them out of the way.
Hi Lance,
Would you have close up picture? Front side and mounting?
Thanks,
Andrew

Re: Rock Slide Retractable Steps

Here is a video with some close up views on a JK:




They are bolted to the rockers using HD nutserts and then to the pinch weld running along the bottom of the rockers. This essentially boxes the rockers in, making them much stronger.

Lance's are the only SMB set around--so far.

Rock Slide Retractable Steps

Looks like we just need one more - I'm sure SMB west needs a set!

Re: Rock Slide Retractable Steps

I will dig through my pics looking for anything I can post up for you guys...
and I would agree that a call to Alan at SMB West would be a good idea so he can get a set on a showroom rig for current & future customers to see.

Re: Rock Slide Retractable Steps

That sounds like a great plan. Anyone here know him well enough to present it to him? I think these things should be available as an option for all new SMB rigs.

Re: Rock Slide Retractable Steps

Zeta,

That video of the jeep and the damage done to the sliders has me pretty convinced that these things will do the job that they are meant to do. I've got a pair of nerf bars on my Chevy Tahoe that have saved me a few times from significant damage to my vehicle from the very sharp lava rocks we have here on the Big Island and the gouges on them look minor compared to the damage on those sliders in the video-and no damage to the jeep itself!!
