Running boards and rock rails, what are my current choices (R1S)?

[rprevatt]

If you search the forums you can find free shipping code for evsportline... (RIVFORUM). That'll save you ~$150.

I was ordering the RMaxx rock sliders this morning when I ran across the 'rust' discussion. I saw that EVS responded and said they'd take care of it.. so I'm good with that. Honestly, it's the lead time that is killing me. I've seen people report they've been waiting since January. ??? That's enough to make me pay the extra for the DCE opotion.

That said, I did try to use the shipping code and it told me it wasn't available in my area (Cali). Sooo... DCE it is I guess.

They do the installation in Van Nuys. Maybe you can pick up if close?

If you haven't already ordered your DCE sliders. Try the code ABD5. It saved me 5%. My DCE sliders showed up 3.5 weeks after ordering them.

Thanks Chad. I live in NorCal... so unfortunately won't work for me. :-/

Ordering now from DCE like I wish I had in February

Had my DCE sliders installed this week:

Can someone post pictures of the various sliders installed (RMaxx, DCE, Megawatt, etc.) but from the bottom / underneath of the vehicle?

I would like to see how the coverage looks and how much of the stock body / frame is exposed once you remove the plastic panels and install sliders.

Thanks in advance.

I’ll throw my vote behind the @EV Sportline boards and sliders!

jebinc!! Those boards are nice with the yellow strip! Is that an option or did you customize that yourself?? I am about to order running boards from EV or DCE....I am torn. EV's timeline is a bit concerning from what I have gathered and of course DCE is a lot more expensive but I guess you get what you pay for.

Check out my welting mod thread - all your questions shall be answered. And this only with the @EV Sportline boards or sliders!

P.S. I believe @EV Sportline running boards (what I have) are in stock and ship same day now. Sliders are back ordered a couple of months. Maybe @EV Sportline can comment.

Compass Yellow welting earlier, this is black and I also run LA Silver when the mood strikes!

I installed the Weistec DCE sliders on Monday. Very solid construction and my family loves the egress improvement.

Yes sir, batch of running boards in process right now - will be shipping within 2 weeks.

I found picture of all three using their install videos.

From what I can see, is that the RMaxx has the most replacement coverage/protection in place of the plastic stock panel, which then leads to the least amount of body/frame being exposed.

DCE has the brand reputation, good build quality, and a fair amount of replacement coverage for the plastic stock panel.

Megawatt has the least amount of coverage, but has good build quality and rear tire kick out.

I am hoping for rivian to announce their rock sliders which were patented recently, s00ner rather than later.

RMaxx

DCE

Megawatt

Re slider coverage, it seems the @EV Sportline RMaxx offers the best protection/coverage.
