I would reach out to 4x4land.com in Topeka, KS. I bet they could modify their sliders as more of a step.

I was just checking in some AMP research XLs. What did you use for step activation??

Someone in my local club had them in his JKU and found out they really don’t work great as sliders when he came down hard on a rock.
Because the CJ's never came with courtesy lights, I ended up installing a pair of generic door switches which, after fiddling with location, work on both the full and half doors. A bonus is that I was able to install a row of strip led's on each side which are activated by the steps, which are pre-wired for outside step lights. Another piece which became necessary was a double pole, double throw toggle switch that allows me to deactivate the steps when I have the doors off. I will admit that using the steps with the doors off is inconvenient but not a big deal.

I have considered retrofitting a set of RSE steps to a scrambler, just have not made it to that point on my project.

I was looking at these, I may try to mount them to the bottom of the rock slider so I don’t have to drill into the body or the frame.What about the hideastep from MORE?

That looks like a really clean install. The tube bars with a stirrup step that I have on my Scrambler aren't really practical with the amount of lift and size of the tires, the bottom of the step is about 29 inches from ground level. If you have any other pics of your brackets please show them off!
Let me see what I have in the archives. Just as an FYI, the single lift motor on my application puts a lot of stress on the mechanism. I believe that AMP now makes a version that uses 4 lift motors (2 per step) that might be a better option. I do like mine from the standpoint that they look like rock sliders when closed. I'll find some pictures of the install.
