Reviews for Body Armor 5146 Hinge Steps for 07-21 Jeep Wrangler JK, JL, & Gladiator JT
Im 4 feet 11 inches!
Price, ease of installation and looks
Perfect fit on my 2021 Gladiator Sport had to lift the passenger door while tightening bolts so door would latch correctly no big however one WARNING my husband had to use a cheater bar to loosen the factory bolts on all four hinges! Steps are super sturdy very happy w them i actually back to order 2 more for the back i’m 4’10 and these are a life saver for me!
Very nice and well built. No signs of any Rust after first winter.
These hinge steps are solid! Well-crafted, good-looking, and easy to install. The hardest part was removing my rusted hinge bolts prior to installing these. They went on smoothly without any problem and they look great! The provided rubber pads were a great bonus for protecting the paint.
Very sturdy, but cannot break the bolts free.. I’ve tried everything I can think of. This doesn’t make the product bad, except that the bolts are standard hex heads rather then T50, a little more harder to mess with.. If someone has a fix, let me know..
It would have been great if it had a conical washers.
Product itself seems fine, installation was a nightmare however.
Instructions tell you to keep the door shut, that's fine and a good idea but once you remove the screws holding the door to the hinges there is nothing supporting the door at the front (firewall) and they just drop down throwing your door alignment out of whack.
I spent 3 hours readjusting the doors so they would close correctly, and they still aren't as good as they were before installing these. This isn't an issue with the product more than it's and issue with the way JK doors are constructed.
I don't think I can recommend the product simply based on the amount of adjustment needed after the fact.
These don’t actually fit on the gladiator doors. Screws are way to small
