Reviews for Rugged Ridge Side Step Bars for 97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ

Look great, easy to install. I used a few rare earth magnets to get them exactly where I wanted them to mark the holes for drilling. There is a little paint chip after a year, but I have pretty big tires and throw a lot of rocks, so it’s to be expected.

The Rugged Ridge Side Step Bars for 97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ does not fit the aftermarket TDK frame for the 97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ that Quadratec sells. Try a different one if you have the TDK frame and want side steps.

They look really good, but after 3 years of having them installed the coating is coming off and now starting to rust. Keep in mind that my jeep has not been off roading, just daily drive to work and around my farm areas. Also had to re-drill new holes in frame to install since the holes did not line up.

Product is terrible. You have to drill into the frame to install it. I wanted to return it but it says product is unreturnable. I guess they will sit in my attic
