Side Step Recommendations

[Lynchbr549]

Looking to add side steps to my 4dr SAS Badlands and remove the rock sliders. Will use the rock sliders when necessary but would need the steps to also be sliders. Not opposed to power steps either. Looking for recs and any pics if you've installed any.

I installed the Ford OEM sidesteps. I used my Ford Pass points to reduce the cost to about $285. I’m happy with they way the look on my 2 door Base.

I ordered my Bronco with the side steps for an easier entry/exit and to help from road damage to the rocker panel, and I like the look, too. Unfortunately, I had to reposition them rearward two-plus inches to allow for clearance for OEM mud flaps.

We have something similar. Curious how you will black out the pinch weld?

See below. Spray on bedliner does the trick and at $15 vs $100 jcr is charging for a piece of scrap metal.

I finally had the time to install my D1 steps. They provided the step-down my wife was looking for and enough "door ding" coverage for my concerns. They almost exactly line up with the edge of the wheels.

Those are over $1500 but don’t remember the $ amount over $1500. $1549? $1,598? Interesting I don’t even see them on the site anymore. Takes a few clicks to get away from the “bronco parts are coming” page to actual product page. I’m looking for (probably never need) frame mounted sliders that can also be steps. Chat with RTR yesterday said the narrow part of slider is 4 inches and 7 at the wide part. I have a non SAS badlands so concerned these may be too wide at that back part.

I measured about 4.5" step surface on the front of Zroadz and 5.5" in the back. Front lines up nearly perfectly with non sas flares, so back pokes just a tiny bit.

For sure! I'm anxiously waiting to see how they look powder coated and on their test bronco. Those are probably my first choice due to the slightly lower step height, but also being strong. Thanks for the redirect though, I appreciate it.

LOD Offroad site has all three of their frame mounted options available. Free shipping and on sale now. No Bronco tax either!!

Just installed the RTR rock sliders on my 2dr, top quality, heavy duty, installed like a dream, 4 large bolts (10mm) on each side in the body (torqued 37 lb ft), another 4 small bolts (6mm) on each side through pinch weld (torqued 10.4 lb ft/124 lb in)

Those are nice. Originally had their steps on order but canceled. Went with LOD. These should ship to me next week.

Nice
I’m sure slowly the after market world will start getting busy
Thanks for the share. This look nice

I wanted to add my quick story to this thread, just because it was a mess at first. I ordered GoRhino side steps from Stage3 Motorsports. Easy to install.... just a few bolts right? Well, they sent me the wrong hardware kit (a lot of these are general use, and they sub in various bolts and brackets based on model). And so I assumed the bolt kit was correct since the parts numbers matched the Bronco 2022 items....

Well, the bolts that secure the brackets to the underbody were the wrong bolts. Assuming they were correct, and possibly a tight fit because ford paints over the holes ( maybe the paint on the female threads made it a bit tight)... And what do you know, one of the bolts broke off in the hole. Another stripped the threads.......

I took to my dealer and they were able to retap one hole, but couldnt get the other broken bolt out... And they sold me the correct bolts that Ford uses on the factory steps. Went in like butter.....

Anyhow, I paid them for an hour of work..... and the bolts. Not a ton, but it was like $70...

When I tried to file a claim with both Stage3 and GoRhino, they are trying to reimburse me for the bolts alone. So like $10! And I am like, "you guys realize I waited a Fing year to get this truck right?" "you guys realize there is a broken bolt stuck in my new truck because you sent the WRONG hardware right?"

Just saying.... Not a great experience from these two companies, and I know GoRhino makes a ton of stuff..... so can afford $75 to keep a customer coming back..................... I would have thought...

My go rhino d6s were rusty straight out of the box even with the over kill packing the entire back side where the brackets go was raw steel. They were shipped directly from the factory and have been inside since Fed Ex dropped them off. They won't last one winter in the midwest so no way they're going on my Bronco. Waste of money. I would recommend going with something else.

I have the GoRhino D6 steps on mine, very happy here as well. Originally I had planned for the DS or DSS as they don't stick out quite so far, but someone on here talked me into these. If you have sasquatch the outside of the bar lines up pretty close with the outside of your fender flares.

Swapping them back out is a solid 45 minutes worth of work, maybe an hour if you take your time. Its one of those thing you say you're gonna do I think

Hey jedi McMuffin, your steps look great. However, your mount for your Rotopax's caught my eye, what brand are you using on your spare tire?

Not trying to answer for Jedi, but it looks like the Rock slide Engineering setup that I was looking at as well.
