Reviews for Quadratec QR4 Heavy Duty Oval Side Steps for 18-22 Jeep Wrangler JL 2-Door

Solid. Good looking

The look and solid construction.

Great product, great price

Easy Installation

Look Good

Pretty basic, but works great. Install was easy; just make sure to leave all connections loose enough to keep everything lined up. Then, tighten after its all together. These can also be adjusted to sit a little closer, or farther, from the body (1-2"). They seem nice and sturdy, and not a bad price for added protection of steel running boards. Most importantly, wife and daughter are very happy with the easier entry on 33in tires.

TL;DR: Questionable QC. Budget steps and you get what you pay for.

The Good:
The finish on the oval tubes is nice.
The price.

The Bad:
The directions... apparently 'secure' does not mean tighten.
One of the pinch weld brackets was warped.
Three out of the four corners brackets weren't welded flat so they wouldn't fit flush to the tube. The brackets were straight, the little flange that mounts to the tube were not.
The ONE corner that fits flush, however, stripped out one of the screws from the tube before it was even remotely 'snug'. Hopefully that bolt holds until I can find some loctite.
Missing a washer. HD was closed, and lowes didn't have it. I ended up having to go to a relative's house and raid their washer stash.

I'm dubious how long these will last. I would contemplate returning them but I already damaged the paint on the pinch welds with the washers so eh.
