These are the second pair I get. I had them on my Jeep Wrangler and now on my Gladiator. Installed them by myself but I recommend having someone help you. I'm only giving them a 3-star review because they came a little scratched up.

Easy installation and impressive appearance for my Jeep Gladiator

Product looks good on my 2023 Jeep Gladiator. They are the best looking from all the large number of products I researched. Installation was very easy and I completed in less than 2 hours end-to-end (from opening the boxes, reading the installation notes, taking out the side bars from the car, installing the new steps, and cleaning up). I wish they were a little curved to follow the Gladiator line, but still they are looking very good. BTW, I knew they were not curved from the other reviews and still decided to go with them.

Easy installation and impressive functionality - highly recommended

These were relatively easy and straightforward to install myself in about an hour and a half start to finish taking my time. They were well packaged and in perfect condition out of the box. The substantial drop makes them quite usable getting in/out for the vertically challenged.Always liked the look of N-Fabs products whenever I've seen them out in the wild.The drop down podium steps are great looking as they are utilitarian. Definitely would buy them again!

Great Customer Experience with N-FAB Podium Steps

I am very happy with the N-FAB Podium steps I just installed on my new Jeep Gladiator. They were very well packaged and arrived the day after I ordered them. Great craftsmanship with easy to understand instructions. The OEM running boards gave the jeep a clunky look. These are awesome. Nice wide steps compared to others and they are made in Houston, Texas. I called their customer service to verify before purchase.The whole process took me right at two hours and that includes removing the factory boards, assembling the brackets to the tubes and hanging them on the jeep. A second hand would help in hanging but it was doable by myself and I'm seventy five with a bad hip. I would recommend them to anyone.

Installation process had some challenges but manageable

The steps are very large and make it easy to get in and out of the vehicle. Definitely not a one person install. The brackets didn't quite match up to the holes on the vehicle, but install wasn't too complicated.

Positive experience with DIY installation of new rails

Several mixed reviews left me guessing. I discovered the following: 1. These rails are not like the ones in the picture on the add. They only have three connection points in lieu of the four shown. I installed them anyway and I find that the three mount points are more than adequate for my 270 pounds. 2. The removal of the old rails and installation of the new ones can be accomplished by a 63 year old by themselves. I ended up laying on the ground with the rail on my chest to get the first (middle) bolt loosely into place. Once the other two ""body"" bolts were in place, the four ""pinch"" bolts were easy to work into place. 3. Be sure to follow the order given for tightening the bolts. first comes the ""pinch"" bolts, then the ""body"" bolts, and then the six bolts that hold the brackets to the rails. Following that order allowed everything to work into the correct place to get really tight. I had to remove the lower of the two nuts in this last set to get the upper nut tight. I then replaced the lower nut and tightened it. 4. All told, it took me 89 minutes to open the box, unwrap the rails, put the brackets on the rails, remove the old rails, and install the new ones. The breakdown was: 25 minutes to open/unwrap/put on brackets; 17 minutes to take off the first rail (12 bolts/nuts); 20 minutes to put on the first rail (7 bolts/nuts); 9 minutes to remove the second rail (learning curve); and 18 minutes to put on the second rail. Add a little time to get all of the tools out, put all of the tools up, and break down the box. All-in-all.... I am very happy with my purchase and happy that I took on the task of installing it myself. You do need some basic ""tool knowledge"" to pull this off.... but, it is worth it. My 5'-0"" wife can now ""scamper"" up into our new Jeep with much less effort than before!

Satisfied with the purchase, minor issues resolved

I love the look, it makes getting into my Jeep Gladiator much easier, installation was pretty easy the only part that was a little hard was adjusting once on the vehicle, but not bad. The only negative for me was i recieved them with a scuff mark on one, and the coating off the edge of one step, i contacted N-Fab they sent me a can of Rustolium Paint, i was surprised at that. I hope the coating stays on for the long haul, time will tell.
