I can think of a lot better things to do with $1800.
I'd like to know how functional those are after being used as a rock slider.

according to the guys on the jeep forum they hold up well. might put a set on my LJ but would rather have one for the Blazer
proves my point . . .
JEEP = 4x the money for stupid people to pay

**** that's actually not that bad when you consider that standard amp steps will run you close to $1200.
The problem is square body guys are cheap asses which is why we have trucks that are only worth a couple grand to start with.

I'm sure they do, I wouldn't expect the beach balls to harm them.
Now a 6k pound Chevy on real rocks? Not so sure, it's possible but I think the design would need to be improved.
Design would work. It tucks way back in. Needs sized up a bit, but yah I don't think there is a very big market in the K5 world.
It's not a complicated design

Good gosh! I could buy another old K5 to work on for that price.
Easy guys, my craps only worth a few hundred....
A buddy of mine has these on his 4 door what-ever-they-focking-call-it-J . They've already warrantied them twice a side. K series man truck would kill it
The steps can take a hit pretty well bit the electronics are crap. Mix those with amp and you have something good going.
They look to be an interesting design. I would have to see them in action to form a real opinion other than the price.
Finally, somebody made curb feelers for Jeep's so they don't scuff their pretty tires.
I don't know about that.... The 4 door jeeps come in around 4600 lbs stock. Add skid plates, larger tires, and what ever Quadratec sells and your pretty close to the same weight.

I swear someone on here was trying to retrofit something like those. Let me see if i can dig up the thread...
EDIT: Looks like there are a couple of options...

Damn i had no idea there was such Jeep animosity on this board.
Try going on a trail ride with a bunch of Jeep guys.
I have been asked multiple times if I thought my rig could make an obstacle because a short arm JK Rubicon on 35s had problems.
If you don't know my rig it's locked on 42s without alot of body left.
I usually just say well I'll giver a go

We go wheeling with Jeeps, hummers, toyotas and broncos. they all have there good and bad points,
I wheel locally with a bunch of jeep guys. Most are really great people. But they really looked down on my old non jeep truck. Until I get asked to drag one of their broken Jeep's up hill for miles.
So they know the harrasment will be long.

I have friends with jeeps, I harass them all the time with the jeep generalizations. I usually start with the ghey jeep wave wherever we meet up before the trail
