Default Side steps that can be used with the rubicon rock rails?

I'm looking for some side steps that can be used with the rubicon rock rails. I like wild boar's product b/c you just drill into the actual rock rail (atleast that's the way it looks in the pictures they provide on their website), and not the body of the jeep. The only problem is that it's $240 !!!!!! But I know wild boar is known for their quality.. but still.. that's a lot of money.

I believe ACE has rock rails that can be used with the rubi rails and act as a step as well...

Just looked them up and those look pretty damn cool. Can anyone provide and close up pics so I can see how they are mounted? Can't really tell from the website b/c it's up against a black jku. But it looks like they end up under the rubicon rock rails after they are mounted. I could be wrong though.

I like these also. Wonder if they will work with mine....I just trimmed my pinch seams and took an inch and a half off my rock rails.

Will do! The only reason that I'm still thinking about it is b/c it looks like I'm gonna lose an inch or two of clearance if I install the ACE sliders instead of the Wild Boar bars. On the flip side, it adds more protection and I don't have to drill into my rock rails.
