Key Features

Rugged Ridge side steps are engineered to deliver superior performance and long-lasting durability. Key features include:

• Large 4.25-inch oval tubing offers a robust and visually balanced look that stands out against oversized tires and body features
• Deep polished finish achieved through an extended polishing process that brings out a mirror-like shine on the steel surface
• Special E-coated steel tubing with a 0.07-inch wall thickness for enhanced corrosion resistance
• Durable powder coat finish that resists chips and scratches in demanding environments
• Custom-fit installation brackets made from 3/16-inch powder-coated steel for strength and flex-free support
• UV-treated, no-slip step pads with five mounting pins securely preinstalled to prevent rust and provide safe footing
• Designed specifically for Jeep Wrangler JK models with 3.6L V6 engines from 2007 through 2018

Construction & Design

These side steps are crafted from thick, high-quality steel tubing that undergoes a rigorous E-coating process. This electro-coating bonds directly to the metal, creating a protective layer that significantly reduces the risk of rust and corrosion. The steel tubing is then powder coated with a tough, chip-resistant finish that maintains its appearance even under harsh off-road conditions.

The 4.25-inch oval shape is not only visually appealing but also structurally sound, providing a sturdy platform for stepping. The installation brackets are precision-engineered from 3/16-inch steel and powder coated to ensure long-term durability and resistance to flexing or bending during use.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward with a custom-fit design tailored to the Jeep Wrangler JK chassis. The side steps mount securely using factory mounting points and include all necessary hardware for a hassle-free setup. No drilling or modifications are required, preserving the integrity of your vehicle while providing a solid, factory-quality fit.

This product fits Jeep Wrangler JK models from 2007 to 2011 with the 3.8L V6 engine, 2012 to 2017 with the 3.6L V6, and the 2018 JK with the 3.6L V6 engine, ensuring compatibility across multiple model years.
