Hey Everybody,
Jack with Jack Wagon Overlanding here! I think this is the first time I have ever posted in the 463A forum - we have been active in the 463 group for several years and skim through this forum as well to continue learning more about the new chassis. As our business has grown over the years and I'm no longer "just" a G Wagon Owner, I've become reluctant on posting too much on forums to limit self promotion and rather let our clients speak on behalf of us instead if they choose to do so. I try to only chime in when I have objective information that can help someone out. With that said, I wanted to post about this as you guys may have not known about us or this offering otherwise.
We have teamed up with Rock Slide Engineering who has been making electronic retractable side steps and rock sliders for various models for over a decade. Some of you may have seen their work on the previous 463 chassis a while back and they have now upped the ante and come up with an offering for all 463A models including the AMG G63 4x4 Squared which can be quite a leap to get in and out of. Their Step Sliders function as both a retractable step for getting in and out of the truck as well as a rock slider to protect the side of your truck when you are ready to take it off road. Please check out the link below for more information and shoot me an email in our signature below with any questions you might have.
These are nice and so much more functional! They also have a lower step height when extended.
Can you show some underneath photos, I'm not sure if this will interfere with my aftermarket exhaust and exhaust tip hangers.
Yes sir! You are right on! They designed the retractable step on these (which drops down an additional foot from the main step slider) to swing down/back at an angle to get around the AMG exhaust. *see terrible paint mock up*
As for aftermarket exhausts, can you tell me which one you have and possibly get some reference measurements from the back of the side step to the most front point of the exhaust tips as well as a measurement going out from the outside edge of the side step to the furthest point on the exhaust? If that's not possible we can find another way to confirm or I can explain in more detail what I am looking for if need be.
We would have to look at what you have or maybe these pictures from the install guide can give you an idea of how it would all line up:
