I have the Demello hybrid sliders and I use them as a step to get in and a step to access my roof rack.
Got any pics of them?
You can sort of tell in this shot. Ditto on LBP's comment above about rubbing against them when you get out. The hybrid style are unobtrusive but do the original function of protection, act as a step, good place to put the jack and manage to look cool too. I got the wrinkle finish powder coating that Demello offers and it is very slip resistant, even when wet. Nothing will stop you from sliding if it's muddy.
