Reviews for Kargo Master 60260 Congo Pro Hinge Step Kit for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

Very easy to install. Very sturdy. Function exactly as needed.

Sturdy and good looking with clear and easy installation.

Easy installation. Heavy duty, great quality.

Simple, excellent concept. The NEGATIVE is, the bolts used in the hardware package are not hardened and have a tendency to round out the hex opening. If this happens, there is no easy way to back out/reset if you misalign the door during install. The hardware bolt heads are the only complaint for this kit.

The product itself is great, installled it works exactly as needed.
Here are a couple of hints that I found help me complete the installation.
Door alignment: Don't follow the instructions to the tee. I recommend using cardboard, or some rigid but soft material to wedge the door in each of the lower corners. This will keep the door from shifting once the hinge bolts are loosened.
Also, do not take both bolts out. Start by breaking the hold on the right bolt, loosen it a few turns. Now break the left bolt, again loosen it a bit. Now I recommend leaving one bolt in! This helps maintain alignment.
Secondly, I recommend keeping the left one in. Once you have removed the right bolt, take the hinge step, wrap it in a shop rag, this will keep the paint from getting scratched - if that is important. Now use the replacement hardware, to loosely thread the right hardware in. Then remove the left bolt, to replace with the new hardware.
From there, continue as defined. I recommend the above procedure for any of the hinges, to help further maintain the alignment.
The other thing, your call, maybe some silicone to prevent water (rust) from becoming part of your door hinge.
