I'm looking for black step bars for my '04 Liberty Renegade.

What are the good ones?

So far, I found . . .

Well the question is do you go offroading. If you do, from what I've heard you won't like any of those. They take away ground clearance and will not take very many hits from a rock or log or really anything before breaking. You may want to look along the lines of rock lizard super skinks.

I don't do off roading.

In that case, I would just pick the ones that look the best. In my opinion it would be the second ones made by Romik followed by the Westin set.

If you decide to go the Westin Route, go for the Platinum Series as they are made of stainless unlike the Signature Series which is standard steel. After the black powdercoat starts chipping the Platinum won't rust like the Signature bars.

I would still go with the RL super skinks. They are in the same price range. They serve two purposes, protecting your rockers and they can be used as a side step.

agreed!!! they are worth their weight in gold, and plus they give you extra "jacking" locations!

Dru.....what are you going to do with your Renne Rock Rails?? You will have to take them off to put on the steps. Do you want to sell them? I will see you tomorrow at the T for T run.

I've got the RL's with Line-X Xtra that has the UV protection. I don't rock crawl, so I'm not worried about it scraping off. Makes the perfect step to get to the ski rack for me. I can climb up on them with icey ski boots with no problems. They are extremely sturdy too.

That was my order too. Believe the first two are stainless steel and the last aluminum.

I'll just give 'em to you. I also got the Renegade Roof Rack sitting in my garage.
