Jeep Wrangler JL Side Steps/Running Boards INSTALL- Step by Step- OEDRO Brand

[@Cosornio12]

Thank you for your video. I bought these and just installed them on my wife's jeep. Your timing and instructions were on point!!!!

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

Glad to hear it helped! 🙏

[@atonicoh]

Thank you. Wife has needed a better step for a while. She found these and I'll have to install.

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

Nice I’m still digging mine a year later :)

[@ThomasKyleScully]

Saw this video last week…hopped on Amazon…3-4 days later they arrived. Just put them on tonight. About 60 mins total to get rock rails off and these guys on (and I am by no means a car mechanic etc). Super simple, they look great, and now my wife and kids can get in easily. Awesome video and instructions.

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

Glad it helped! Still liking mine a year later! 🤘

[@sosweetsike]

Thank you so much for this thorough video. I was looking into these and even though the reviews are awesome on Amazon I wanted to see a an actual video. I am a 5 ft and have difficulty hopping up and down from my Jeep, and even hurt my ankle, so you having your daughters get in and out helped me make my decision on purchasing. Thank you again.

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

Thank you super happy it was able to help you out. I am still in love with these steps and they’re holding out awesome so far! :)

[@widowssonpm22]

Great video. Thanks for posting. Recently bought a 2020 Wrangler and my 5'2" wife has been grousing about the lack of steps to get in.

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

Thanks! 🙏

I just installed a similar set of step rails. You don't actually lose any ground clearance because the lowest point on your jeep is the pumpkin. And I believe for Rubicons, it's about 12 in or so off the ground. My step rails have a bar that hangs lower than the top step. And even the lower hanging bar is higher than the pumpkin and the rest of the undercarriage. And for anyone worried about the rails being body-mounted, they can hold north of 500 lbs on each side. You'll be fine.

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

Good points!

@@PeakPerformanceEngineering Thanks!

[@wildlaw711]

I saw this video and some others. Today I ordered a set for my 2023 Gladiator. Super stoked to get them. Great video, thanks!

Thanks brother- You just made a sale !

Awesome glad it helped!

I just bought these for my 2008 Wrangler Unlimited 4 door (JK). They fit fine. The problem was that the mounting hardware for the underside is different than what comes with the rails. The side mounting hardware worked fine. I liked the boards, and didn't want to send them back. The front and mid underside mounts for my Jeep require a rectangular slide nut that fits up int a channel. The channel has cutouts, so the slide nuts need to fit up into the channel and straddle the appropriate mounting hole. The hardware with these boards comes with 6 M8 bolts. The rear hole on my Jeep takes an M8, the middle and front require the slide nut. Looked everywhere and couldn't find anything that would work. Finally ended up making my own from a piece of 5/8 wide X 1/8" thick steel I bought in the hardware section at Lowes. The piece I got was about 2' long. I cut off about 2" sections. Drilled a hole slightly larger than the required M8 nuts, then epoxied the nuts to the steel. Painted everything with rust resistant primer. Worked great. So if you get these and have a JK with the channel.....this is one way to install these bars. They seem very well made and appear to be a nice product for the money. They look great on my Jeep. Or if you are lucky, maybe you can find/buy mounting hardware that will work.

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

That’s awesome you got a JL version to work for the JK. Hopefully they will make a JK version of these in the future so you don’t have to jump through the hoops :)

[@jeffreykercheval9177]

@@PeakPerformanceEngineering The e-bay compatibility said they would be a fit. They fit….just not the underside.

[@hchami1349]

Great job explaining, mine get delivered tmro, can’t wait to put them on

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

Nice! Yeah they’re really easy to out on :)

[@marianneburgher4177]

Great video

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

Thank you! 🙏

[@robertpeeler4359]

That looks good with the red accents against the red on the jeep

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

Thanks Pops!

[@jatsportsflooringgalvan9623]

Looks really good

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

Thanks! Still holding up really well too and have a set of their front and rear bumpers laying on the garage floor I’m going to install next week. Vid for that soon :)

[@phillipcraggs6202]

I was really hoping these were frame mounted when I started the video. Oh well. great vid, Thanks for sharing.

[@ambergoodine2029]

How are they holding up this winter? I have the Roam steps and they rusted terribly almost immediately

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

Still holding up great haven’t seen any rust on these or the ones on my wife’s yellow Jeep (same brand, different style).

[@G_Liwag]

What tools did you need for this install? Thanks for making this vid

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

Mentioned around 4:30 in the vid. Just a 10mm and 13mm sockets. Go for deepwells cause I think the 10mm bolts had studs sticking down. Super simple though, nothing special needed

[@Threedog1963]

Just got mine in. Both rails had a sticker indicating Driver and Passenger sides. Seems like a simple enough install. Years ago, I bought a set of steps for my pick up from a local aftermarket parts store and attempted to install. Couldn't get the damn things on. Turns out one of the bolt holes was reverse threaded. The owner of the shop accused me of reverse threading the thing. I laughed at him asking why I'd drill out the original holes and put a tap to reverse thread them. He finally ordered a new set of steps and had one of his guys install them. I think the reverse threading was some clown at the factory that did it as a joke. No other explanation.

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

Ah very nice! Don’t remember seeing that on mine so must be a nice update :)

[@garyferguson1552]

Are these available for a 2023 2 door wrangle Rubicon

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

Looks like they do have them in their website, probably on amazon as well. www.oedro.com/oedror-all-steel-running-boards-with-paintable-step-plates-bolt-on-side-steps-for-2018-2023-jeep-wrangler-jl-2-door-black-and-red-powder-coated-nerf-bar?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIw4XjyPTAgAMVy_HjBx1_ww1uEAQYASABEgIq-vD_BwE

[@rustbeltrobclassic2512]

how are they holding up? was told they pit and rust, but the reviews i read are questionable

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

So far so good. I have these on this jeep and my wife’s and the powder cost still holding up and looking great. Also did their bumpers in the fall and they made it through this first winter unscathed

[@eemmatraugott]

Is your jeep lifted? We have the JL sport and it has running boards but just had it lifted and now the running boards are a little high to step on to.

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

We have a stock JL rubicon 4xe, mine has 37s and my wife’s 35s, so I think that’s something like 4-5” taller than a stock sport on mine and 3-4” taller for my wife’s.

[@jermstayeazy2688]

Just wanted to actually watch a video on all the Amazon reviews guys are saying it’s taking them 2-3 hours for a install and I’m like there’s no way…. Figured they were taking a lunch break plus two 15 minute breaks.😂😮‍💨

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

Yep I’ve installed two sets, there’s another video I did on my wife’s yellow Jeep and they were both really easy and stupid proof.

[@Darkslide99]

i was going to install the same brand just now on my 4xe but when i look at the 3 large bolts on the factory rock rail i don’t see where i can access the other side of the bolt where the nut is located on the middle bar? looks like it is welded on all sides idk? did i miss something? please help

[@Darkslide99]

The first bolt i can feel inside the panel and it doesn’t have a nut, the second bolt has no access and is welded on all sides except where the bolt goes in, the third bolt is the only one of the 3 that has a nut and space to screw it in. i’m just worried there should be a nut on the bolt and i’m missing something?

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

Shoot if have to watch the video again to remember but there are 3 big nuts facing up and 3 small facing parallel to the ground from what I remember. Some are studs sticking out of the vehicle or on the actual rail (can’t remember offhand) so there is no nut on the backside. But it’s really simple and easy.

[@fredcooley8906]

nice video. do you have a lift? what size if so. is the 2 or so inches loss from frame or pinch seam

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

Good point, no lift but it is on 37” K02s, so probably a couple inches taller than a stock rubicon.
