Black Diamond with factory rock rail and SAS.
I am going to put on an aftermarket step. SAS is just too tall and the wait too long for a true rockrail/step. I am installing 4WP 2door step.

Since the factory rockrail must come off, I am looking for ideas to add a little protection to the bare rocker panel. Also, I do not like the look of the step showing the pinch weld of the rocker.

I am seeking something to give a little protection from small scrapes, thrown up gravel etc....not a rockrail type of protection. Thick rubber tape? Vinyl stick? Ford makes a plastic rocker panel stripfor Bronco but probably won't fit with step. Any Ideas?

In the future there will be true rails with steps so this could be just a year or 2 solution.

These are nice, I have a 2 door and apparently the 4 door is getting the most attention right now.

Maybe the 4 door is out selling 2 door and that is why so many products fit that version.

I started a thread specifically asking about the Lund Trail armor rocker panel cover.
Ford part number VM2DZ-1613208-B
Don't want to anger the forum but I post here also asking if anyone has tried them?

you can add a step to your OEM rock rails. Look up the AR Stirrup thread

That may be what we go to. They do not yet have production.
As others have commented...short wives create near term solution needs.
