watchamakalit Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 With the install of the lift to my truck I have noticed that I tend to lean on the side of the seat entering and exiting. I know what this will eventually do to a seat and wish to prevent as much future damage as possible. Also my 5' 3" wife has a difficult time entering. So I am looking at entry step options. My truck will likely never see more than the occasional very mild trail driving. So rocker protection isn't my priority, but I do like the look and think they would compliment the truck well. I have considered building my own set but am curious to see what is out there and what everyone has/recomends. I don't want a running board look from an 80s van, I would prefer something that will blend in with the mild wheeler look I am building towards. So that said whatcha got?

thecodemonk Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I have those too and even my 5'2" friend gets in...she takes it as a challenge to be able to do so as ladylike as possible.I think dirtbound makes a similar set now too.Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 JCR makes some but fitment is not good, I think Dirtbound's round tube seems small at 1.5". I would go with Krusty's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go with Krusty's. I agree that the JCR sliders fitment leaves room for improvement. I have a set and they required a lot of modification for a “bolt on” slider. Would go a different route if I were to do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never installed them because of how crappy they fit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I have the JCR ones and had to shim the rear about 3/4" to make them even. Also their pinch seam strap extends the whole distance but the pinch seam on the truck steps out about 1 1/2 inches at the rear and has corrugations so it does not sit flat.

Don’t think it’s 2” but they definitely aren’t even to the truck. 1 hour ago, fiatslug87 said: I have the JCR ones and had to shim the rear about 3/4" to make them even.

Didn’t think to shim them wish I had done that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ls2xjcomanche Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Mine stick out in the front. Kinda was annoyed by it at first, but got over it. Now that I’m looking at it again I want to take them off lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecodemonk Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 After this weekend, landing on them repeatedly as I drug myself over rocks and hills, I can attest to the sturdiness of Krusty's sliders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
