Reviews for Quadratec Brute Strength Side Steps for 18-24 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JL 4-Door
Awesome product! Really blends in with the Jeep, step and amour at the same time and most specialty the customer service is Amazingly Good 10 of 10.
These are substantial steps. Solid and heavy. It took me and a friend to put them on and I’m glad he had lots of tools because we need metric versus standard tools. The vertical screws were not a problem but the side screws required my tiny girl fingers to get into the tight spaces to get the bolt onto the screw. We also had to drill a hole into the driver side step because it didn’t quite line up with the factory holes. I’m the end, it took us about 2.5 - 3 hours. Not bad for a chick and her guy friend! Love the steps and would definitely recommend them.
Rock rail protection with having a step surface
Overall the fit was great. They did get banged up in shipping, but it is easy to touch up.
Install was easy 1 person job for me with Jack stands supporting the parts to align the hardware. Only item I question is if the hardware will rust.
I replaced the factory Rubi-Rails on our 2022 JLUR XR with these. I got them so my darling 5'-4" wife could get in and out while retaining her dignity when she wears a skirt to Church on Sunday. She reports that she is happy with them. They passed the grandkid rear-door test also. I took me about 2-hours to install the passenger side rail and then only about 45-minutes to install the driver side. If you have 'man hands' with large fingers you will find the factory installation instructions a bit incomplete. I found that using needle-nose pliers to assist in inserting the bolts and washers; then inserting the nylon lock nut into a wrench with a piece of paper towel as a wedge worked wonders. Love them so far.
Good
+ Looks Good, Clearance close to previous rock rails.
- Powder coat wears off pretty quick if you actually use them. Price.
I got these so my wife wouldn't have to do a controlled fall getting out of the jeep. They fit pretty well, there is a gap difference at the body front to back from Manufacturing but it's not too bad. The powder coat is already wearing where my wife steps in and out of the jeep. I needed a step for my wife that wouldn't impact too much at break over. I am satisfied with these.
Exactly what I was looking for. I did not want the full on tubular look. With the step platform mounted on these they look great. Plus they seem like they will hold up to some abuse. Can’t really get a ratchet on the bolts that go horizontal along the rail. I went and bought a ratcheting wrench set and that made the install much easier.
Searched long and hard to find these rails - nice and high, stylish and no need to remove body bolts.
Fitting them to my 2021 JLUR4XE was simple - one person - propped the one end on a step and then lifted the other end and popped a bolt in.
Once all the bolts were loosely fastened i used a trolley jack to push them up flush and tightened.
Packaging - Epic!
Fast delivery - even with a one day delay with the career.
Only improvement idea (which i prepped for) - Chrome bolts and washers! Everything on mine truck is black.
Rob's video chats about how the steps match the bumpers..
I bought black plated flanged bolts from the shopping site - I then painted the washers satin black as soon as i opened the box - paint was dry in the Texas sun before I got all the packaging removed!
Very happy customer.
Exactly what I was looking for. Doesn't hid the pinch seem as good as the factory sliders but need something with a step for my wife. I can still get in and out over them without having to use them myself. Tucked up nice and high. Love them so far, time will tell how they handle the FL sun. Came packaged very well and easy to install. I installed them by myself in under two hours. Just had to start the thread on the vertical bolts first to be able to do the pinch weld ones on my own.
