Construction & Design:
These side steps are crafted from robust 2x3-inch steel tubing, selected for its high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to bending or deformation under impact. The addition of a kick-out rail design further reinforces the structure, providing extra protection where it’s needed most. The entire assembly is finished with a dual process black powder coat, which not only offers a tough, scratch-resistant surface but also protects against rust and corrosion caused by exposure to the elements.
The no-drill mounting system is engineered to securely attach to the Jeep’s chassis using existing factory mounting points, preserving the vehicle’s integrity and simplifying installation. This thoughtful design ensures that the side steps maintain a factory-quality fit and finish while delivering heavy-duty protection.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation is straightforward and requires no drilling or permanent modifications to your Jeep Wrangler. The side steps mount directly to the chassis using factory bolt locations, making the process quicker and less invasive than traditional bolt-on accessories. This design allows for easy removal if needed and helps maintain the vehicle’s resale value.
