Rough Country Power Running Boards for Jeep Gladiator JT (2020-2025) - Retractable Electric Side Steps w/Dual Motors, LED Lights, Textured Anti-Slip Surface

These look and work great. Only complaint is that the rails don't span the full length of the pinch weld like rock rails would. Also the install says 3 to 4 hours but it took me most the day and I'm somewhat handy. For it to look right I ran the switch to the glove box and under the carers and everything. Instructions have it come out near the steering wheel which I dint love.Quality seems very solid and the motors seem very durable. Also like that if one motor fails at any point it can be replaced somewhat easily.

The media could not be loaded. Nice kit and works great. It was a little tricky to install and I wish the ground wires were a little longer but I got it done and it looks professional. Use any YouTube videos as guidance but I wouldn't fallow them to a T. I found that some of the videos for the JLs were more informative then for the JTs and some of the professional installation videos looked sloppy. I added pictures of the location I put the sensors and electrical to help guide someone else. I couple tips make sure your motors line up with the running boards and use the included spacers to square up the running boards if needed. Just because you did one side the same dose not mean the other will be. The hardest part was running the wires for the motors to the driver side. I first tried running through the frame but it didn't work and I had a wire shortage so don't waste your time there. I ended up just running them on one side of the front skid plates. Good Luck and take your time and don't rush through it.

these are very vice.....added a nice touch to my Gladiator.....not very hard to install

Like the product, but the directions leave a little Mistry to the install, could have been better, even the youtube video was lacking clarity!

Works as they should, but very difficult to install. Instructions aren't the greatest. But I'm happy with them now.

I was initially very excited about installing this product on my new 2025 Jeep Gladiator. Unfortunately there is a MAJOR discrepancy that the seller and RC needs to address. The description for this item claims that there is a no drilling easy installation. HOWEVER there is absolutely drilling required on the third step of the official instruction manual. I have attached pictures below as proof (see below). The rock guard for the two forward motors is an integral part of item longevity and needs to be present or the boards likely won’t last very long. The brackets on the rock guard interfere with the frame if you place the front motors on the factory mounts, which is why the instructions suggest drilling a hole 5” back to shift away from that problematic part of the frame (see pictures). I do not think anyone in their right mind would be willing to drill through painted pinch welds on the outer body of a brand new vehicle, as you would severely degrade the value of the vehicle and likely have rust problems soon after exposing metal to the elements. I returned the product immediately and received a full refund (at no cost to myself for shipping), which I will praise Amazon for being so accommodating on this matter. I highly recommend considering this and ensuring that this product can possibly fit older jeep models if the frame has changed recently (but I doubt it has). The seller needs to adjust the product description as well and be upfront and honest about the requirements of this product. Overall I lost about 5 hours to the attempted install and return process. Hope you find this useful

Now that they are done, I like them. The factory plastic steps were a joke. It took a lot longer than (several days) than the installation instructions or video will have you believe. If you can't put your rig on a lift, it becomes much harder to install. The instructions are lack luster and the video skips a lot of difficult steps. After it was all installed and I tested it, the right side worked but the left did not. After several phone calls, Rough Country shipped me an entire new unit even though it was determined that the problems was a bad switch. Of course I left everything installed and just changed the switch and like magic it worked. I don't want to rewrite their entire manual but here is some advice: Look through the instructions first and make sure you understand the whole thing because there are missing labels etc. The motor assemblies will come in the closed position so use a 12V source with aligator clips to open them for easy install. You will have to drill two holes through 3-4 thicknesses of sheet metal so make sure you have some sharp bits. Make yourself a template for the wholes and don't go with their advice od "about 5 inches away from the first hole and remove material as needed", If you're going to do this at home without a lift, make sure you can fit all the way under your truck. Use magnets to line up and screw a number of the parts; a second set of hands will only get in the way. Do a rough install and then check everything for operation before you tidy up because you will have to make adjustments. Last but not least, the parts are heavy so make sure they have a soft spot to land on in case they slip out of your hand so you con't mess up the paint. Good luck!

Awesome item! Pretty simple to install. Holds weight! Works and great! Looks awesome... So far so good!!!
