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.

When/If I get some they will be the super sliders also

Dont you love how we always suggest something other than the choices given?

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.

those that have the super skinks, do you hit your ankles or feet on 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.
