2009-2013 Rock Sliders / Nerf Bars...
Hey guys just wanted to post some pics and get some input on some rock sliders I built recently. I designed them to gain a couple inches of ground clearance over the factory steps, but still to work perfectly as a side step. Also, these particular ones mount directly to the frame and are made of 3/16" material so they are fully functional for heavy offroad use.
They also stick out just far enough that they provide significant protection to the truck from swinging car doors and side impacts. Let me know what you think.

Very interested in a set for my regular cab! I currently have a set of n-fab steps and feel I got ripped off. They don't stop door dings, are uncomfortable while exiting, and didn't line up to the factory mounting holes. Worst of all I had to cut them down so my tires would clear...
I am currently rocking your skid plates (which installed smooth as butter) and the added protection is huge. I would love a set of frame mounted steps that I know won't rip my rocker panels off when I bottom out!

Those look great! I have the stock side steps and when I have gone off reading I wonder if I'm going to rip them off. Also would be great for the protection against other car doors. Unfortunately being stationed in Southern California most parking lots aren't meant for large vehicles so finding parking is rather difficult and I'm always worried some idiot will hit my truck with their beat up pos car door. Can we get more pics? Prices?

Count me in, if the price is decent and shipping to Canada isn't a killer. Good looking product. Powdercoat or paint? How will they hold up to rockchips and salt?

Those look phenomenal! I bought some stock plastic ones and they're pretty flexy. I'm interested.
Do they the stock bolt setup? Can you show a picture with the door open? They look narrower than what I already have and my kiddos (and I) like a good foothold.
