IMHO, the best time to get the tubulars is when you buy your H2. You can always get the removeable u-steps later and switch out (they're much cheaper). You lose a little ground clearance with the tubulars. Rock crawling is out, but a lot of fun (more moderate) off-roading can be done with the tubular steps.
