The INEOS Grenadier was purpose-built for off-road dominance, many owners still rely on it for daily driving. Grenadier Side Steps : Power Retractable Rock Slider.

I have a Grenny on order and need to find a solution.

I was out at Anza Borrego at a Mossey Ineos event last weekend. One of the other Grenadiers had the retractable side step installed. It looked very solid, but I do not know if it actually qualifies as a rock slider as well. He said that Mossey San Diego installed them. They might have more information.

Two different steps

I have the retractable steps purchased from Expedition HQ in AUS. I believe they are the ones who developed them first, then they were knocked off in China. I think they are all the same at this point. I like them a lot, after 2 trips to Moab in the past 6 weeks they tuck high and tight, and I have not had any issues. But they are aluminum, and not a true rock slider. If I was to drop the truck onto a boulder, they would dent.

The Rock Slider Engineering from Owl is a true steel rock slider that would take the boulder no problem, and it happens to have an electric step. I have not seen one personally, but I trust Rock Slider Engineering to have a bombproof product.

I like mine, happy with my choice. If I crush an aluminum rail at some point, I will replace it. No LED in mine.

Thanks -- did you install yourself, or have it installed? I don't need the true rock slider either, so you're would work.

I paid to have them installed, I am not good with trim, and running electrical. I have no patience.

Studied both the Expedition and Owl Electric side steps and clearly the Owl is for more difficult off-roading. However, the primary permanent step seems to sit lower and further out, not tucked away as much and clean looking as the Expedition. Given, I don’t intend to be a hard-core off-order the Expedition will meet my needs and what I plan to purchase next.

I just ordered the ones from Owl, ask me in a month or so how the install went. Hopefully they work well.

I just install the Rockslide Engineering slider steps this weekend by myself in the driveway. Super easy and only took about 3 hrs total. The hardest part was figuring out where exactly to fish the wiring harness over the frame rails and between the gas tank. That step took about 45mins but other than that easy-peasy. I told my wife this was her belated mothers day present when they were delivered/installed. Here is a pic before and after of the RSE. When I get home from work tonight I will take a picture of them deployed.

I’m looking for retractable running boards. I saw some I liked and found the. And “king step” on the motor. Doing search I cannot find them. They also lit up with LED lights. Any suggestions with this motor pic on who makes these boards?
