If you are rock crawling get something frame mounted.
If simply needing a step, then get one you like the look of, that has good reviews.
I really prefer frame mounted for any application, but there really are some quality body mounted rock rail/steps out there if you look.
As with all things Jeep, you get what you pay for.
The ones I have are from White-knuckle Offroad.
( https://white-knuckleoffroad.com ).
They are some of the strongest on the market, made to order out of California, but I don't know if they would ship to Australia, and if they would I'm sure it would be an arm and a leg. These things are heavy!
Happy Jeeping!

A side note, I've heard a lot of positive reviews of the LOD frame mounted rails, but have no personal experience.
Shrockworks are also very nice, but they are another boutique outfit, out of Houston, and I don't know about their shipping or what that would cost.

PSC Brawler Rockers IMO, or the EVO equiv are actually a touch nicer only cuz they have a replaceable guard so you don't F up your nice powder coating. Armor and boatside sliders that provide a nice step. This is one of those things that if you really intend to use them offroad, you're gonna get what you pay for. If you just need something for around town to function as a step, about anything will do. It sux to jack up your rockers and then wish you had just protected em properly from the start.
Literally in from powder coating tonight and set for install -

x2 on LoD. frame mounted, bolt on. as far as fit, finish, and quality...tough to beat. you may not like them due to having a small-ish step. but like others have said: are you offroading?...or just want more of an actual STEP. if you are looking only for a step as said: get which one looks the best to you and rock on.

Definitelyfor off-road use, I had an fj cruiser with factory sliders and I used them in the bush. What annoyed me with those sliders was that you couldn't stand on them.
I'll definitely get a frame mounted one, thanks guys!
I've canceled my order on the 10a bumper and found a 2nd hand arb bumper in almost brand new condition for half the price!
My fj was stock except for the 33.8" tyres I had on them and that got some sliding on the belly a bit, so I'll need some under body protection soon as well i think since the jk has a longer wheel base. I'll put up a post of the build once everything gets delivered
