Rockslide Engineering step sliders.
- Thread starter munstie
- Start date
Saw them in person at SEMA a couple of years back and they looked interesting for sure. I don't know of anyone running them so I can't say one way or another how well they actually work but, I too would be interested to know.

I saw them at Moab EJS this year, pretty cool and they do hold the weight, I stood on them along with the Rockslide guys....that's a lot of weight! they seemed solid and worked.
curious how they hold up on the trial as well. they do have a you tube post demo of it on some rock tests

Definately want to know about anyone that has them. I was considering them as my wife will never be able to climb into the JK once I get it the way I want it...
I'm hoping that they will be able to hold up to both hits and slides and still work properly. my worry of course is to take a hit and pinch the drop step in the unit, blowing the lowering motor. Also I wanted to make sure they have a "disable" switch available as I don't want them deploying on the trail if I'm on a rock (or close) and have them try to open if I open my door...

they do have a disable switch and in talking to the guys there, their recommendation is to have it disabled when out wheeling. I was close to buying ..then sticker shock :shock:

I hear you, $1500 was what I saw at one point
But I may need something like this for my wife to access. She is very much a "City" girl from Buenous Aries Argentina. She loves her jeep, but once I get and lift my JK she will have an issue with access. I'd also rather not have to carry a step stool and have to wip it out every time she needs to get in or out LOL...personally, I think there is enough stuff on my jeep that is going to break on the trail. I am not sure I want to add something else. while they do look nice, just not sure they are going to hold up to any "heavy" abuse.
i have them. i have tiny childrens and a tiny-er wife so they need a step to get in. same slider - different angle!

The EVOs have been my second choice for a while, though I heard they are doing some Boatside sliders that tie smoothly down all the way to the fraim rails to provide a continuous plate right to the underbody skids...
But it may just be a rumor, and even if real I'll have to mod them or have EVO mod them with a step protrusion off the top of topis side for a step.

I know that pain (double lower back fusion), so it is all going to depend on how you wheel i guess. If you are not bangin em against rocks regularly, they would probably hold up pretty good. Not saying they wouldnt hold up to rocks, just playin the odds is all.

She has a two level fusion as well, and another one in her neck, she was stopped to turn in our subdivision and was hit head on, other driver was going about 55

EEEEK! That is terrible!
how long out of surgery is she. I am almost 18 months and I can say it was the BEST thing!!! I have zero back pain and zero numbness. I had pain and numbness for 10 years prior.

She still has pain numbness in her legs, her neck surgery went great though every once in awhile she will lose strength in her hands, her neck and back is a major factor why we are trying to relocate west looking in the Phoenix area with it being a drier climate the weather in northern Illinois is not helping her.
