Reviews for Quadratec QRC Side Armor with Step for 18-23 Jeep Wrangler JL 2-Door
These are very strong and they have absolutely ZERO give to them. I can hear pebbles plinking off of them but they never damage the finish. Install was easy, and the instructions were super easy to follow. My only problem is that the Quadratec logos popped off less than an hour after I put them on. Seems like they were just double-sided taped to the rails right before shipping.
Looks rugged and I like the platform for stepping up.
Happy with the quality of the item however the steps I received were damaged in shipment.
2023 wrangler owners BEWARE. I’d give this 5 stars but since they weren’t an exact fit they get 3. (I don’t blame Quadratec since they probably don’t know issue.
I rolled off the lot on Monday with my 2023 2dr JL. I had my parts sitting in my drive way ready to install this morning. ( 5 stars on the shipping) As I set the steps into place to check fitting ( using a floor jack to hold them in place) I found that the new 2023 wranglers had something in the frame changed slight enough to not allow the steps to mount in the rear. I decided that since I had the tools I could modify there step mounts instead of return and try to find something else that I liked ( a friend has these on his 2021 and I liked them)
I had to cut a 1 inch notch in the rear mount so the bracket would be able to slip between the body seam to allow the two bolts to line up with holes at the seam.
Also all 4 slots in the mounts that bolt straight up into the frame had to be cut and filed to reach the holes. Once I had everything cut, ground, filed etc I just sprayed all with black all weather paint to match and mounted everything up as you normally would.
Purchased these side step rockers. First set sent was drilled wrong on one side. Was sent a whole new set. Second set chipped. Unacceptable. Seriously thinking about abandoning Quadratec. Quality control is not so good.
Junk after only one year on the vehicle the paint chips off and they start to rust
