Smittybuilt or Manik?

Don't flame me...I'm sensitive about this...

Ideally I would have something like Trail Gear sliders or others...

However, the princess also needs to get into the truck.

So, I'm looking for alternatives. I've seen Smittybuilt Nerf bars. I have also seen the Manik ones, and am looking for feedback.

I know that sliders could be made as "step-sliders" but I'm looking for a quick and easy fix.

Any feedback is appreciated.

do you wheel? if so, then the nerf bars will not only chew up your ground clearance, but they will be trashed in no time.

if you wheel, then get some stubbs sliders.

if you don't, then put the running boards back on!

Even if you don't wheel like me, I'd just put some sliders on because they'll hold up alot better than those others you mentioned. I'm looking to eventually get a set of Stubbs or Demello sliders myself (but i may have to take the cheaper route and get generics since shipping up here is always killer ).

hey you really need to check out http://www.stubbswelding.com/rocksliders.htm scroll down half way, thats what i had for my kids, they work "GREAT" as steps, and work great off road, i had the "standard" verison at the 15 degree angle, and the price is very good, fast shipping, a great guy, and great customer service, cant go wrong with Stubbs.
thats just my opinion, lol

yes they can, but you can get some grip tape at any lowes, home depot, swimming pool shop, hardware store, wal-mart etc.
http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...300&lpage=none and cut it to fit, it come in 2" or 1" wide strips and works great.
