Reviews for Quadratec QRC Side Armor with Step for 18-24 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited 4-Door

I am on my second set of these on my 2019 JLU Sport. Love the look and the price for sure! They were easy to install solo (~1 hour) with standard tools. Now for the downside. I live in Upstate NY where we average 150 inches of snow which translates to lots of road salt for half the year. My first set rusted extensively after 2 seasons. Quadratec was awesome and sent me a new set free of charge. I installed these last summer and half way through our winter season, I'm seeing quite a bit of surface rust again. So if you live in a nice climate, buy these! Otherwise, save yourself some frustration and keep scrolling.

Great price, arrived well packaged and in great condition. The coating hasn't held up well to the climate/snow management methods of upstate New York and has some signs of corrosion within their first year. Very durable and look great on the Jeep!

We install these on a 2018 JL in the late summer/early fall of 2020. We love the look and functionality of these steps/sliders. Now for the bad, one winter in southern Indiana and they are covered in surface rust, and not exactly sure why. The rust appears to coming through the coating as if it is porous and not completely sealed.

I installed these last August and as others have said it was easy. They looked good as well. It is now February in western NY. I haven't driven much because of the pandemic but it was still enough for the salt on the road to cause extensive surface rust. They no longer look good! I had the same trouble with the QRC front bumper. If you live where they use salt don't buy these.

Installed, with only normal (and very limited due to COVID) city driving, garage stored and these have rusted horribly in about 7 mos.

DO NOT BUY!!!!!
I have had these for 7 months. I have not gone off-roading or into snow. They are showing surface rust.

DO NOT buy this. I bought these last summer & they are already rusted all over the place. This blows my mind. Save your money and go elsewhere. I am extremely disappointed with Quadratec right now after spending 300.00 and another 100.00 to have these installed. I am almost tempted to file a complaint with the BBB

I am having the same experience as others. Purchased less than a year ago, and already rusting in several spots. Disappointing. Definitely will impact on my purchase choices in the future.

4 months and rusting badly. Garage kept except while at work. Terrible.

Don't buy. Bought these in August and by December they were already rusting in multiple spots. I do not off-road. This is from regular minimum driving and was well before all the snow we had in NJ. In fact I left NJ in January for warmer climate. Very surprised that Quadratic woukd put there name on this product. Who would accept parts that rust that easily on their vehicle. Definitelyy did not expect this.
