Side Steps and Bars
Side Steps, Side Bars & Running Boards
Like many 4x4 accessories, side steps and bars (also known as running boards) are versatile multipurpose upgrades. They give protection to the sides and undercarriage of the vehicle, assist in entering and exiting for passengers and drivers, ease access to the load bed area and/or roof rack and also customise appearance with dynamic style. For serious off-roaders, a set of side bars or rock sliders are essential kit, to minimise damage and assist over obstacles when the going gets tough. They are also highly recommended if anyone using the vehicle might need a step up, or if a roof cargo system is in regular use. Browse our range of vehicle-specific durable and stylish side bars and steps which are all a relatively straightforward install.
Running Boards
Running boards offer assistance to passengers and drivers when stepping in and out of the vehicle, or reaching up for roof or load bed cargo.
Bar Side Steps
Bar side steps offer practical styling, are oval in shape with tread plates which protect the paintwork, assist with footholds and ease of access.
Side Bars
Side bars are made from heavy duty tubular steel so have a rounded profile - for enhanced vehicle style - some also have integrated step plates.
Rock Sliders
Rock sliders are important for anyone who wants to take their 4x4 off-roading. Particularly helpful when you’re crossing large obstacles, like rocks!
Side Styling Features & Benefits
Protection
Prevent damage from stones, sticks and dirt thrown up by moving wheels and general debris over all terrains, as well as from passenger footwear!
Foothold Assistance
4x4s are usually higher from the ground than other vehicles, so a handy step which assists with getting in or out is a good idea, and a safety benefit.
Customisation
Running the length of the vehicle’s flanks, side bars are very noticeable for giving a conspicuous ‘go anywhere’ off-road style and enhanced personality.
Easy-Fit
Supplied with mounting brackets, all necessary hardware and full instructions, our side and running bars are straightforward to fit - no drilling required.
Easier Cargo Access
A set of side bars or steps makes it easier to reach up, over and across the vehicle, so for anyone regularly using roof bars or reaches into the load bed.
