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

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 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 purchased the Rough Country power running boards for my Jeep Gladiator and initially, they worked well. For the first six months, the system operated smoothly and did exactly what it was supposed to do. Unfortunately, around month six, the driver-side running board stopped retracting properly. I contacted Rough Country support and provided multiple videos and photos as requested. After reviewing everything, they decided to send me a replacement controller, even though I explained that I strongly believed the issue was with the motor on that side, not the controller. I installed the new controller anyway, and as expected, it made no difference at all. The problem remained exactly the same. I contacted Rough Country again to explain the results and even offered to send the controller back at my own expense, but since then, I have received no response whatsoever. In my option there is nothing worse than when a company ghosts you when you having an issue. At this point, the running board is nonfunctional and essentially worthless, despite being only nine months old. For a product at this price point, both the reliability and post-sale support are extremely disappointing. I even explored trying to resolve the issue myself by reaching out to the online community. Things like making sure things like dirt grit and obstructions aren't caught in the armature and lubricating the armature. Nothing has resolved the issue. If Rough Country reaches out and resolves this issue—especially by addressing the motor problem—I would be happy to update this review. Until then, I cannot recommend this product.

Bought theses very good product. Found a major issue when installing on the gladiator. There is a bracket on the right ( passenger ) side of the frame that the board will just hit. I had to file the bracket so the board will fully retract. Other than that. Very good product.

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

Love these makes the jeep look awesome highly recommend

I’ve been wanting these for a while. When they dropped in price I went for it. Couldn’t be happier with them. They are extremely sturdy and well made. The motors operate very smoothly, and the led lights are bright. I love how they look like rock sliders when they are up. My wife and kids can now get in with no problem. Install took about 8 hours.
