Construction & Design

Rugged Ridge tube steps are engineered with high-quality steel tubing featuring a thick .07-inch wall for exceptional strength and durability. The steel undergoes a special E-coating process that bonds directly to the metal, creating a protective barrier that significantly reduces the risk of rust and corrosion. This is followed by a tough powder coat finish that resists chips and abrasions, ensuring the steps maintain their rugged appearance over time.

The mounting brackets are crafted from 3/16-inch powder coated steel, providing a secure, flex-free installation that stands up to off-road stresses. The step pads are UV-treated and designed with multiple mounting pins to prevent slipping, while also covering all exposed metal surfaces to protect against rust.
