I am building a land cruiser for a client, and I am having a very hard time finding rock sliders or rock bars that are in stock ready to ship from anyone. I just need them to look good and be reasonably priced. Anyone have any recommendations?

I had the ARB Summit Side Steps in my Tacoma. If true sliders aren’t required, that’s the way to go.Slees are the beefiest for sure. They are backordered but will be back in-stock in the next two weeks. ARBs are always available too, much easier install as they mount in the same holes are the factory running boards. Bud Built, Metal Tech, Dissent, and others are fantastic but built to order and could be 4-8+week lead time.
I removed the SLEE ones and fitted these. Way better, stronger and lighter as well View attachment 2010530View attachment 2010531View attachment 2010532

I would disagree, the ARB Summit slider steps are more than just steps. Just not near as strong as others mentioned above. I’m sure they’re fine for most overlanders and offer good protection to the doors and rocker panels. If your going to be crawling, that’s another story.. I’m 6’4” so I hate any kind of “step” as they only make my pants wet when I hop out of my vehicle. But vertically challenged people tend to like/need that step for daily use, especially when lifted. As @Markuson said, find out about their use. If they need the step, your options are few (especially if on a time crunch). Slee sliders-steps cost less that ARB too and double the strength. I know Bud Builts are offered with the step option too. MetalTech has the bumpout in the rear that a kid could use to climb in. Good luck.ARB dont make sliders, they make steps. HUGE differance

As I recall, @cruiseroutfit runs the ARB steps on his personal rig and reports they serve his needs well...
I’m still a BudBuilt slider/step fan, but realize the wait time may not work for OP.
