Your opinions on this custom side step tube please.
A side step tube with a dual purpose. Step + Side protector reducing dings in parking lots.
The idea is simple but will it look aesthetically pleasing? Your opinions please. Thanks.

Standard side step bar comes straight out.

What if it angled up?
#3 http://i45.tinypic.com/2dwgmf5.jpg
Then the angle up bars might look bad, so they can be color matched to the 4Runner. The straight bar it self will be chromed.

Extending the step passed the supports
#5 http://i47.tinypic.com/zilndf.jpg
Extending the step passed the supports with color matched
Do you like the idea? Is it too high to be useful?

Here is a good example of sliders doubling as a step.
Lastly, how do sliders get in the way of entry? Are we talking about the same thing here? Are you referring to a full-on cage or something?

That's "exactly" the look that I wanted above. I was worried about the weight of the rock slider bars (heavier material) compared to a (light weight) step bar. The sliders looks about 75 lbs each side. If they were light weight they would be perfect just the way it is in the above photo. My 4x2 4Runner won't be seeing any rocks or curbs.
