OK, so I have decided to go ahead and get the AtoZ Fabrication Rock Sliders, but I cannot decide on which I like better, the "Yaffy" style or the "Basic" style.
Here are some pictures:

Yaffy style:

and Regular:

regular with the countersunk bolt option: http://atozfabrication.com/images/MICHELLES_ROCKERS-COUNTERSUNK1.jpg

here is another that I dont like as much, it is called the Snowpeep (the step doesnt have an extention, it just is welded right to the rocker guard):

Regular/countersunk

The one thing that will drive ya nuts is all the options that are out there for anything Jeep.

Go with what you like... and then in a couple of years there will be something else that you will probably like better...

That always happens to me.

IF I had to choose something other than Sun Performance,,,, I would vote for the Yaffy style.... they look real stout.. plus they may not get in your way on enter / exit from a lifted Jeep.

I like the countersunk/regular, but they look like the Toys by Troy ones I have... w/o the countersink.

The rounded tubes may come off rocks and trees and such a bit easier than a flattened step. With either though, they serve to protect the side from obstacles or rubbing against things like the side of a gulch or a tree or a rock or...

Just my opinion.

I believe I like the square tube ones better.

grrrrrrrrrrr, you guys are as bad as my Step-dad and my Mom. My step-dad likes the Yaffy, and my mom likes the regular. I can se where the regulars could help slide over obstacles and actually look a bit stronger, but the Yaffy's look is awesome; the are beefy and give the Jeep a cool apperance.
Also, I plan on using bed liner on the rock sliders too.

I like them too, I think when the $$ rolls in I will go for the regular, with counter sunk bolts.
