Reviews for Rough Country 90769A Contoured Drop Steps for 18-20 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited
I just installed these on my 2020 Wrangler Unlimited this past weekend. I would have given them 5 stars but like others have said, the directions are no good. They show a picture of the main mounting brackets and point out that each bracket is notched to indicate its position on the rail (front, middle , back). well the brackets that came with my kit did not have notches and its because they were EXACTLY identical so it didn't matter the position. Also, I had to file down some weld "blobs" on the very end of a couple of the brackets that was causing the hole locations to not line up. Last but not least the brackets had nuts welded to them, a couple of these nuts evidently had weld splatter in them so I had to run a tap through them to clean them out.
NOW...all that said, I love the looks of these and they are very sturdy. I'm a pretty big guy weighing in at about 320Lbs and these support me no problem, aside of the few minor issues, these are a pretty good product and I would purchase again.
They are very nice, but the instructions are terrible. And it made the instillation harder then it should have been. Other than that they look great.
4.5 just bc the paper instructions were difficult to follow. It took me over the estimated time to install but I enjoyed it and I was in no rush. It really looks great on my 2020 JL!
Product was sturdy and machined well. The directions allowed a lot of room for interpretation which turned an hour long job to 2 hours. Some of the brackets had sloppy welding which made fitting the bolts difficult. Overall very happy with the design and quality, but fit and instructions could be better.
Instructions are absolutely useless and inaccurate. Gap at the rear as noted by others.
I like the bars, however they are Not contoured at all. They are straight. You will have a gap at each fender. I contacted rough country and they advised “ This is normal and plus with aftermarket brackets you don’t want to be too close for rub on body. ”
