1st Item in my planned build - Steps for the vertically challenged!

On my current JK, I was lucky enough to pick up a set of DV8 Electric steps from a Quadratec Scratch & Dent Sale. These were used for pictures and were in great condition. I got them for half price and they made a huge difference when I added the lift kit as my wife and I are on the shorter side. My only complaint was that they could not really take a hit off-road. They were a functional step but not a functional piece of body armor.


For my Rubicon JL, I will need to add steps as it is already sitting about as high as my JK does. This time I am looking to purchase the Rock Slide Engineering JL 4dr Step Sliders. I like these as they provide 12 inches of full drop but also a built to act as functional sliders. There is an optional Skid Plate system if I ever plan to do some heavier rock crawling but I think as they sit from the factory (with the optional LED lights) is the right choice for me.
I think this will be my first addition once the JL shows up. Really hoping for some Black Friday sales to drop the price... Paid $500 for the DV8 steps at the Quadratec sale but the RSE have a price of $1800! Big difference!

Will update once I have them purchased and installed on my JL.
