Hooke RoadGladiator 6.9" Drop Down Side Step Bars Running Boards for Jeep Gladiator JT 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025

I got these for my 2023 Gladiator. I ended up using the YouTube video for a bit more in depth instructions which was a huge help. But my husband and I installed them in about an hour and a half. Not too tricky at all. Just need some basic tools and at least one other set of hands to get them up there.I did notice that some of the rougher “rhino lining” type of finish was chipping off on one the ends. Not very noticeable but I’m sure over time that’ll grow.Super sturdy, makes it much easier for my few elders to get in and my dogs!Would recommend, adds so much to the vehicle.The 1941 engraving was a plus too since my jeep came with the 1941 decal on the hood!

Easy to install. Great fit on my 2023 Gladiator Rubicon.I am by no means a mechanic and had never modified my jeep.The removal of my factory guards and installation of these steps, which I did outside in the snow, took less than an hour. I used a socket set, a hex wrench, and my hands. I completed the entirety of the work from a sitting position.Instructions aren't that detailed but they're clear enough, if you just read.I didn't need help holding the steps in place because I started in the center position and balanced them on my legs. But it does help if you have smaller hands with some of the bolt positions.They look great. I love that they curve with the frame, something not every rail/step features.One piece of advice, leave every bolt and screw at hand tight until you get them all in where you want them.

These arrived a day early, well packaged and in perfect condition. All parts were intact and finish was great. My wife loves the way these hug the body line of her 2024 Gladiator Rubicon X. Install went smooth with no issues. Everything fit like a glove. Definitely recommend this setup. Had been watching these for awhile and caught them on sale during Prime Day sale. Couldn’t be happier with the quality and price.

The old saying goes, you get what you pay for. I really can't say too much bad about these for the price in comparison to higher end ones.Coating is pretty mild in terms of durability, had a couple chips from installation alone. Fully expect rock chips as time goes on. I just touch it up fairly regularly with some black paint. I live in SoCal and don't deal with much rain/snow/salt but if you do I would really consider that more, you will be dealing with rust quickly.Installation is straight forward just lay out you hardware and make some educated guesses, there is an instruction link on the product page but I recall some discrepancies between the instructions and hardware but nothing major, the lengths provided didn't match the instructions but they appeared to be feedback related improvements. Installation is mainly with hand tools, you won't be saving time with power tools so plan to be patient. Total time was about 90 minutes from removal to complete installation.Things to note, these are about 1 inch lower then stock plastic side steps and much heavier. Stock ones I took off were maybe 10 pounds these are 30+. You will also notice the new tings of rocks bouncing off if you had the plastic ones before like I did. These are not rock sliders by any means, don't expect to have added any additional off road capabilities.Overall they are what I expected and only wish the 1941 logo would have been on the others triangular version where the step on top vs the bottom that would have made these exactly what I wanted.

I jumped the gun on my 1st review Hooke rd. authurized a prepaid return label, my fault for not being patient . the product was very well built and looks great also makes it easier to get in and out I would definitely recommend this company great product and customer service

Installed in only an hour. Clear instructions. The only issue is scrapes on the parts from a thin shipping container(box). I fixed it right up and they look real good and work great. Sturdy construction and fit perfectly. I would recommend for sure.

Purchased 7/2023. Installed end of September. Seemed okay at the start. Easy install as expected. After 7 months of use noticeably faded paint. As of 11/20 both sides are rusting on the bottom with out cause. I expected more for my money. Will be buying new and different brand

I noticed another Gladiator and saw the their straight boards left big gaps in front and back. Looked bad. These are curved to meet under the doors and follow the body line. They look really nice and spice up the truck.Another unexpected benefit is they keep rocks from spitting off the front tires and hitting the back fender flares. Before putting them on I had some gravel spit up once I reached 40mph scratching the paint of my brand new truck. These are in the line of fire and deflect any spitting gravel. Well worth the price for that benefit.
