Rough Country Power Running Boards with LED Step Lights for Jeep Gladiator JT (2020-2025) - Dual Motor Electric Powerstep Board & Retractable Steps

These are installed on a 2020 Jeep Gladiator with a 2" mopar lift and 35" tires. The factory side steps look nice, but are kinda worthless as they are almost at the same height as the interior floor of the jeep. I love how these power steps maintain the lifted look of the jeep, but drop down to a very friendly step height. My wife is so happy now! The installation was very easy and only needed basic tools. This kit is totally plug-n-play too, so thats great. Honestly, the hardest part was rolling around under the jeep fishing the wire harness through, and making sure it's all tucked up and zip tied securely, and that wasn't hard at all. I made the mistake of installing these a few weeks after I had the jeep Fluid Filmed. So t was a messy disaster, and added an hour to my time. Overall, this took me about 8 hours: an hour to remove my old steps, the expected 6 hours to do the install, with an extra hour peppered in dealing with the mess of the fluid film getting all over everything and me! Do this install before fluid film!!!

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.

I installed these on a 2024 Jeep Gladiator Mojave, the installation took me about 3 hrs. total for the driver and passenger side. after about 45 days I started to notice a rattling on the passenger side after getting some help in locating it we found the passenger rear and front motor had tons of slack in it. I have that side of the steps off and will try to see if they replace it under warranty. I will update this review once I hear from them. Overall I'm very happy with the product. When it was delivered the package was torn to pieces and shrink wrapped up to hold the box together. ( should have sent it back then).

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.

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

They do exactly what they're supposed to do when opening and closing the door and they do it well. My only gripe is that my mechanic could not connect them to the dome light so that I can activate and deactivate the power step with my key fob so that I could use them even when the doors are not on the vehicle
