Has anybody tried any aftermarket steps that is mounted on the stock rock sliders on FE? I wonder is there any good recommendations and real world user experience?

I was reading that thread, sorry to see it happening. I do think the guy have a cool design at least in his rendering. Not sure he would choose to scam people rather than actually go through it and actually make the steps.You might run into archetype racing on your online search. The company advertises modular steps for the rock rails but the company is fraudulent. Many of us here have cases against them.
Thanks for pointing that out. I saw true bolt on in the description and ordered them. Did not realize drilling was required. Next time I will watch the install video.I really am still on the fence to buy a rock rail or not. For me it’s just aesthetics. I really like the clean look with nothing there to be honest. Plus some designs look really cool others seem way too bulky. One thing I really don’t like and it’s been mentioned somewhere else is the Westcott Design one. With their setup you have to drill into the frame to mount them, thats a huge no go for me.
No problem glad I could help. Yeah I am just not a fan of messing with the frame on anything to be honest.Thanks for pointing that out. I saw true bolt on in the description and ordered them. Did not realize drilling was required. Next time I will watch the install video.
I second this, I really like the Greenlane design which provides both protection and a step. They should provide reasonable protection from rocks, they just say don't use them to jack up the truck. I'm not sure if the factory ones can be used for that either. That's fine for my purposes, I don't go rock crawling, I just want some protection. For real rock crawling, steel is better simply because it slides over rocks better.Greenlane has rock sliders. They don't look as strong as factory ones for actual rock sliding (happy to be corrected here), but they look to be good for steps and offer some parking lot ding protection. I'm looking for some steps for the OEM ones or some more options...
Those looks ideal - agree on form + function. Please report back on the install when you get them! I think they are longer than OEM as well.I ordered these for my FE. They are sliders with a step. Frame mounted. Steel but also a functional step.
Just curious.... if you don't want the stock slider why did you order FE? LC trim is a lot cheaper and you can use the saved money to buy this slider insteadI ordered these for my FE. They are sliders with a step. Frame mounted. Steel but also a functional step.
They said they should be shipping them in two weeks so I can report back when I get them mounted but to me, it’s the best of both worlds (form and function).

Sliders are among the most critical armor components for your Land Cruiser, with body damage along the side being very costly to fix. Our step sliders function as an aesthetically pleasing step to enter and exit your cruiser but they also double as a fully functional rock slider that protects...dissentoffroad.com
