I have the super skinks. You will get your pants dirty slideing in and out. You can set up your hilift and pick up the whole side of your Liberty.

I would buy the super skinks again and put up with the dirty cuffs.

Every freaking time, I now have a small brush at work that I use to brush off the dirt off with.

But I would recommend the super skinks as well.

I think I am the only one with the steps. I have no complaints with them at all other than gettin your pants a little dirty. I do have some minor scratches on the bottom of them but I haven't been able to get out and really test them, yet :evil:

When I get mine, I'll be doing the supers. They will better protect the sides of the car, but will also give me something to stand on when loading the roof rack.

I like the super skinks the most. They protect the sides as others have said and you look good overall. I dont really like the 'step' sliders though.

The super skinks give you a step...

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing too.

I plan to add Super to my Skinks. There is a trail we did awhile back and I was leaning so close to a huge rock next to my lower door panel and the Super-bars would have protected me if I had slid a little. Luckily, I didn't slide, but now want the protection after seeing that. Unfortunately, it is lower on my Rock Lizard product spending list.

I would get a set if they were made so the pipe angles upward so it kind of hugs up close to the rocker panels instead of sticking straight out! Now thats a project for someone! But since NO one makes those i would have to agree with the super skinks.

That would make them weaker and protect less.

Yes but I don't mind,my doors would be toast if not for the super skinks,I hit so hard once that Marty told me to stop,he thought I broke the passenger rail,just slightly dented it(the front of the outer tube),it was a really hard hit though.Makes a good step also to get to the roof rack.

I did at first. I figured out that if I turn in my seat and rest my feet on the super skinks, then step off, I no longer get my pant legs dirty. I know it sounds a bit silly, but it saves wear and tear on my ankles. :)
