Don't buy Go Rhino rb20 side steps. Updated.

[andrewhewey]

I'm happy with the coverage meaning what was there is largely no longer visible. I also think the lighter color paint shows up more behind the step than the darker like mine. If I get down and look it's not perfect but who gets down on their knees to look? Looking at it standing 3' from the rig I see no sign of that part of the body.

Thanks for posting these pictures! I love the look of the RB20s. My only question is whether to go with the textured black finish or the protective bedliner coating? I have the heavy-duty modular front bumper and I think the textured black RB20s will match the finish better. For those that have the textured black finish, do they provide adequate traction, particularly when it's wet? I live in the PNW so it rains 9 months out of the year.

I have the same bumper and went with the textured, NOT bed liner finish. Feel I made the right choice.

I installed go rhino RB20 Slim line. $395 shipped during Super Bowl promo. very happy with look and price. They sit a bit lower than I would want.. will adjust and maybe add spacers when it’s not freezing cold. overall very happy.

Are these the regular or slim-line RB20's?

I don't think there is a slim option. It's probably the angle the photo was taken that makes it look skinnier.

They now have slim-line options of both their RB10 and RB20 series...

Purchased and love the look of this step but the front bracket is not long enough where the step sits. If I step closer to the front it does give in and bend. Go Rhino says they are working on it and a fix is not close. Ill attach a photo of the issue and the go rhino response.
Loved this step because it hides the unsightly seam below the doors.

I see the issue, but don't see a major problem. Stencil out the running board bracket onto the rock slider, remove and trim with handheld grinder with cutting wheel. Primer and paint the exposed cut surfaces. Reinstall the running board. Perfect.

These are the slim line. There is a standard width with 3 rows of holes and a slim with 2 rows. These are slim version. They are the raptor style RB20 slim line. I have a raptor with factory step and raptor steps are wider than the slim line version. Also the raptor itself is much wider. I wanted a slimmer version and went with RB20 slim line. FYI Not Bedliner finish. Standard coating

I just went ahead and placed an order directly at gorhino.com
With 14% off today, it's a great deal for a good looking set of steps.
Hopefully, they are shipping with the updated brackets!

They look awesome. Is there still enough surface area to actually use a step (not just for looks)? I'm just 5'9" so will definitely need a step.

Typically when a thread title says "Updated", the update in added to the opening post (Post #1). I suggest you add a current summary so people visiting the thread for the first time don't get the wrong impression. Thanks.

Yes I bought them to use as a step not for the look. I use it every time to get in and out. Less step than standard but enough for ball of foot or heel. Foot fits lengthwise/ parallel no problem. Like standard they get slightly more narrow towards back. Haven’t tried back but other have without complaints

Do they make these for the 2-door?

I added the GoRhino RB20 slim lines to my Big Bend. It's a very effective step up and is less noticeable than the wider ones.

Exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks for posting.

I actually asked this very question to Go Rhino this morning and said possibly in another month or two.
