Reviews for Rugged Ridge 11596.12 Spartan Nerf Bars for 2020 Jeep Gladiator JT

Overall great products

Practical and good looking.

The Spartan nerf bars look great (Gladiator), the bars are opened not sealed on the ends. Someone wrote a question about this and they were wrong for the Gladiator tubes. Also on the passenger side one of the horizontal bars were bent. Spent an hour trying to bend it enough to get a screw in. Wish It would have come in better shape.

The picture fools you a bit. The brackets do not let the bar sit close enough to the pinchwelds. All the hardware shows. They are starting to rust after six months. Recommend you do better research and don’t shop price. I’ll try to sell them on marketplace and get some nicer ones. Money lost...

No modifications needed to install and able to use a 5 gallon bucket as a second set of hands. I had factory rock guards that were heavier and had more mounting points which these could have used a couple more. Removed the rock guards and installed these in about 1.5 hours. As far as durability, they were already rusting at the welds and mounting points in less than 6 months. Very disappointed especially when I've had them for about as long as my Jeep. Don't know whether to get repainted or find another brand. Good money down the drain.
