Hey all,
My rock crawling days are over. Family. Kids. The off-roading that i plan to do is just for sight seeing. I just want something a little tougher than stock running boards BUT retains the functionality of such...kids and wife need step to use.
Requirements:
1. NO DRILLING into frame. NO WELDING. Again, no drilling of any kind. Only use existing holes in frame.
2. Strong enough to slide over an obstacle...like when just breaching the breakover angle of LC. I don't plan on off-roading where there is a risk of slamming the side of LC against rock...where the slider supports the weight of LC. I will just turn around if that is a risk.
3. MUST have a step-like function...whether that be a diamond plate over slider or integrated step. Whether it be angled 20 degrees or flat is not a big deal but it must be wide enough for step (front and rear doors).
4. Kickout at the back of slider NOT important.
5. Weight is somewhat important...less the better. I do want "some" strength where the slider does not get dented easily.
6. I do prefer a slider where there is a plate under the frame as part of the support.
So, with all the requirements above, is there such a slider in question that i can buy? More step, less rock stoutness basically.
Thanks in advance.
