Gladiator Running Board Side Step Nerf Bar Side Rail Rock Slider for Jeep Gladiator 2020-2025 JT - Textured Black (Pair)

These running boards look pretty sharp and the installation is relatively straightforward--however, as others have indicated, calling for an Allen wrench to tighten some of these bolts is absurd. One of the requirements that NEEDS to be indicated is a ball-tip Allen wrench--my traditional Allen wrenches didn't cut it. The ball-tip provides access to those bolts where access to the bolt head is partially blocked by the frame of the running board. In addition, additional flat washers are needed as the provided lock washers are much too small for the holes in the frame--nothing that a trip to my local Ace Hardware store couldn't accomplish but it dragged out the overall installation. Overall, I'm very happy with these.

They came damaged from shipping due to weight. Luckily was on the underside and was able to sand and paint. Contacted seller and they discounted them a bit for me which was appreciated! Install was very straightforward, and they are very solid! I like the fact that I’m not going to get door dings with these on!! I will say they are one of the best steps for the money! Installed on a 2023 Gladiator. Fit was perfect!

I saw a lot of reviews warning about how tricky this would be, but I didn't have any trouble. Just don't snug up one end ahead of the other. Bit of common sense. I did see one review saying washers would be nice for the vertical bolts (3 on each side.). I don't see them being under a huge compressive load, but I agree it wouldn't hurt. You can't use the original ones without drilling them out, so you might pick up six at the hardware store before you install. But it's not a deal breaker. I went without. Boy is this pretty! And STOUT..

The steps look great and fit very well. I put them on by myself in about 2 1/2 hours with the help of a floor jack . The instructions are not that great but if you lay everything out you will be fine .

Seem to be well built steps and they look great installed just not sure how well they’ll hold up based on my experience with the install.Installation that should only take a few hours took at least double that because of design flaws and inadequate hardwareRequiring an Allen wrench to tighten down bolts is the worst idea possible. There’s minimal clearance between the tube steps and the frame of the vehicle so when it’s required to have a wrench on both ends of the bolts to tighten them down then common sense says a standard Allen wrench should not be one of the two required tools.Also additional flat washers were needed for some steps not sure why they weren’t called for. The supplied lock washers were much too small in relation to the holes on the frame and/or steps which definitely would’ve presented a problem at some point. Fortunately I had some flat washers on hand that I was able to add to the bolts that needed them at least for that moment. Unfortunately those washers would need to be replaced with the proper washers so I needed to go searching for not only black washers but ones that would stand up to the elements not rust etc.Trying to work with customer service has been a nightmare the few agents I’ve dealt with are condescending, not entirely honest, and try to get away with doing the bare minimum.I ask an agent for a supervisor’s contact info and I get a phone number to tech support instead.“V8 GOD” please do not contact me again unless you’re someone in a supervisory role

I am so glad we accidentally ordered these for our jeep gladiator Mojave the look amazing and we’re exactly what we wanted. We accidentally ordered these and another set from elsewhere we returned the other set

Pro: Sturdy. Nice to look at and a good fit for the money. You will read some complaints about the appearance of the fit, but the jeep has a weird curve to it making anything that runs in a straight line not look right so I can't blame the product.Con: not all of the welds are perfect. The quick and easy solution is to watch for any water leaks and seal it with black silicone. If you want to forge water I would not recommend them. Rusty water will leak out of every hole if they are not sealed.For my application, the product has been great. They are sturdy. The price point was great. I sealed every are of concern. I take my jeep to the car wash weekly and I have no rust issues.I have no major complaints and to me, they look great.

WHEN THESE SHOWED UP AT MY DOOR, I FELT SORRY FOR THE AMAZON DRIVER. THEY ARE VERY HEAVY.THE INSTALL IS VERY EASY. I DID IT WITH A FLOOR JACK. THEONLY THING I DID DIFFERENT WAS USE THE ORIGIONAL VERTICAL MOUNT BOLTS INTO THE BODY. SEEMED LIKE A BETTER OPTION. DIRECTIONS WERE BRIEF AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND. ALSO REMEMBER THE GLADIATOR BODY HAS A SLIGHT CURVE, YOU NEED TO LOSELY INSTALL AND BE STRATIGIC ON HOW EVERTHING IS TIGHTENED UP. GREAT PRODUCT.
