Hello,
Has anyone mounted detachable steps to their rock sliders on the Colorado. I have found these, wondering if they will work.
N-FAB Detachable Step - JPTS32.

I don't think these will work as our sliders don't have the same spacing between the tubes.
Be nice to have something like this though.

That requires purchase of a whole new rock slider system (with step) from n-Fab, unfortunately. Price is $550 and change.

I think like the OP, I'm looking for a bolt-on step for the factory bars. Seems like there's some money to be made here for someone that wants to fabricate and sell them!!

I was looking for the same thing.

I’ve been looking for a solution to this as well. Just bought a ZR2 and don’t want to go the AMP STEP Route.

I wonder if there’s any existing steps we can get someone to weld on.

I was thinking of adding some of these for my 5'2" girlfriend. Turns out shes good with the "oh **** handle" ....at least when she's not driving. Then she has to do a little hop up. Now I've gotta figure out a ramp for the dog.

Finally, somebody has done what I was wondering about: Instead of adding steps to ZR2 rock sliders, modify them exactly like in this video (from the 6:00 minute to 7:00 minute mark.) Or, just watch the whole 8:20 video. Its pretty good.

Do it and let us know if it supports weight, and how difficult it is

I figure it wouldn't cost too much to have a shop weld on another tube to the slider and have it stick out about 4 inches or more should be enough. I

I don't think you need another tube. I will start looking for a willing and affordable weld shop to cut, flip, and re-attach level.

Hey that's my video! (Well me and my beautiful wife!) Thanks! We put a lot of work into it. As for the steps: They are stainless steel and I used stainless steel welding rod and my trusty arc welder. I removed the sliders, marked the brackets and then cut them off as close to the tube as possible. After cleaning the soon to be welded spots, I mounted the brackets back on the truck and used jack stands and blocks to hold the steps in place at approximately a 90 degree angle (I eyeballed it). When I was happy with the position I tacked the tube to the brackets and removed from truck for final welding. Bolted back up and then proceeded to scrape on rocks and have all sorts of fun with em! I would estimate I spent 5-6 hours give or take a little. Very happy with the result. Oh yeah, I did flip them over so there wasn't as much of a pocket for mud to collect on top of the step. Look at your sliders from underneath and you'll see what I mean. We will probably do another video that covers this but it will be a little bit before it comes out. Happy welding!

I meant no reason to cut up oem sliders, just have a shop measure, put two bends on each end of the new tube and weld.

2 Allen screws per side and comes off the side coggs. I keep an Allen and 1/2" wrench under the seat.

Not a full step, but works for me:

These are the 2" version, they also make 3" versions

I prefer the stock black Chevy steps. They work as rock sliders/body damage prevention and they are safer to step on getting in and out of the truck. I had mine coated in Rhino Shield so no more paint flake off.
