Default D1 Rock sliders/Side steps

Hi Folks,

Before I spend hours on the Internet obsessing over this, does anyone have recommendations for the following accessories.

1. Rock sliders with side steps/nerf bars.

My criteria is, looks good on the truck, probably won't be utilized for rock crawling (I'm more of a trail guy), have side steps/nerf bars (wife and kids complain about getting into the truck).

2. Front steel bumper.

I know all about ARB, but want some alternatives. Criteria is, looks good on the truck, accommodates a winch.

3. Rear steel bumper.

Same as front, without the winch.

Thanks!

Been trying to save up for a set of supersliders but life has a way of using up my funds...

Make sure your sills are in very good condition. Between the mounting design of those and how far the tree bars stick out there's going to be a lot of leverage against your sills. If they're somewhat rusty you may find yourself not able to open your doors from the sliders bending the sills.

Good advice. Fortunately, my truck has lived most of it's life in WA state, and is essentially rust free.

I've had the Rocky Road ones for years, they've held up better than anything else on my truck.
