Side Steps for Badlands with rock rail?

[Petey]

YES!

When I get my Bronco, I'm going to measure this up and see if I can recreate these, then I'll maybe see about selling them.

I know that I saw a post a few days ago by a guy who installed side steps with the OEM rock rails. The steps used the same mounting holes as the rock rails. Easy install. When I find the post, I'll upload either pics or the link.

I’m getting a badland Sas, so 35s on it. I know this will be pretty tall for my kiddos and possibly wife. As many of you know it comes with rock rails. Does anyone know if there are aftermarket steps that would connect to the rock rails or any other suggestions?

I have the Badlands SAS with 35s. It is high... But my kids 6 and 10 have no problems getting in. They like that they have to climb in. My wife commented once how high it was and never said anything again.

Honestly, getting out concerns me more because I kinda slide off the seat and I'm worried it might deform the side of the seat over time. Getting in is no problem at all.

I thought about getting some kind of step but I decided against it. I take it off road a bit, nothing hardcore but some moderate off roading, mud and rocks. In the end, I don't need it.

I had a '77 F250 Highboy with 35s and a 4" lift and didn't have steps either lol. Now that was a climb.

Do you run into issues with the kids stepping in the pained area of the door jams and scratching it up. I don’t mean to come across like it won’t get dings or scratches but just trying to figure out how I can keep it nice… appreciate your feedback!

They...... pivot off of the rock, and the force of the rock will be on the outside edge of the step. That will require a very strong step, with a good mount to the frame, to not bend up.

Very good point I overlooked when looking at this. It would be like a lever with a lot of force. I really want the double tube frame mounted style like I had on my XJ (Yep still miss it) Like what is on the Fun-Haver truck to protect the rocker panels both from the side & below.

Looks great. How wide is the DSS? And what made you go with these vs. the D6 or others?

I like the look of the DSS, not as wide as D6.
I have used go rhino products in the past and no complaints . I dont plan on bashing them on big rocks. I do mostly sand and fire roads. they are just for the kids basically. There is 2 1/2” of step.

I'm hoping that the N-FAB RKR STEP SYSTEM becomes available for the Bronco. It's nice that you can remove the steps for wheeling.

I found the picture. He said that the stock rock rails stay on and these get mounted on the same seam that the rails are bolted into.

I have cactus grey so it really doesn't show scratches. I never really paid attention so I just ordered my son to go out and climb up. Here you go.... Yes he does step there but no I don't really have any scratches.

I got my Bronco Aug 6 and it sees a lot of school trips.

I think @EIGHTLUG is looking into making something. He likes business so I'm sure if he garners enough interest in them he'll come out with something nice.

I got some of these for now until I find a more permanent solution. Only $13.
