If you like the EVO sliders but are hesitant because of the costs you mentioned. Paint them yourself. If you wheel your jeep on rocks you're going to be painting them again anyway. Someone just posted up their self painted ones recently...Frank maybe?
Find somebody (buddy of a buddy's buddy) that welds and bribe them with pizza and beer.
You can go wrong with either. Get what you want, you'll just regret it later if you don't.

For what it's worth EVO sliders can be made with a step. Just tell them that when you order.

As mentioned the EVO's can be welded to stick out a little bit to function as somewhat of a step. But its still just a tube. I chose the LOD since I can install without welding AND it has true step with steel groves that grip your foot. But I will say its a small step as well and is pretty tight to the body. I like it but don't expect a man size foot step to accommodate your whole foot

its not really made with a step, the slider its self is just welded to the feet at a flatter angle.
so as mentioned, EVO rock sliders welded with "low step" design...

I'm in the market for slider and am leaning towards evo, and was wondering how they would look body colored!!!
Not as bad as I thought I'm considering this now! But idk how it would look with gecko

I would go with the Evos for sure. Ive banged on mine several times already. They are stout. I also bolted mine on. I figured, if needed, i could always weld after the fact.
As far as finishing them, i sprayed mine with the spray liner in a can from Auto Zone. If you are going to wheel it, they are going to get scratched. Hey, thats what they are for!

Just ran bad ass devils canyon. The jeeps we ran had either EVO or LoD. They both held up. I have LoD because of the step. Regarding bolt on..... If you are going to use the rails for what they were made for, I would on welding to the frame either one.

These were my two top choices as well. I went with the Evo and had them do the custom bend so they can be used as a step.
I like the way the Evo look more than the LOD + wanted weld on anyway. You really can't go wrong either way though. Both are nice and will function well. The LOD can be welded. If I was going to get the LOD, would've had them welded.
