4.5* actually. Overall, I really like these. They are a good price and they look nice. Some of the brackets had to be bent a little bit to get them to line up correctly, but it wasn't bad. I've actually purchased these twice! I sold the first vehicle, but immediately bought these for the better optioned vehicle I traded up for. NOTE - DO NOT buy the door delete kit that can be added to this. It's a waste of money that overrides the basic automatic functionality on a daily basis. The basic kit includes an on/off switch already.

I finally got them installed and they are wonderful. My wife has arthritic knees and it was very difficult for her to get in the Jeep. With these Motorized Running Boards she can now get in effortlessly.

Still working great. A good investment.
by: Bryan 07/13/2023
They're great. Have had no issues, very dependable and my older parents and wife love the convenience. Took two of us about 6 hours to install but we'll worth it.

Very fast delivery !

Over all a great product. Installation instructions were straight forward, a couple of areas could use install hints such as "when installing frame brackets leave connections very loose". If you any type of DIY installer this will be a fun project. The quality of the running boards is very good any area you will stand on is solid and appears to be durable. Plastics end caps on the main part of the running board seem like they could come off at some point. The drop down step has open ends and seems like debris could become built up over time inside. The wiring harness is very well made, couple of extra wires came with it that the instructions do no indicate what to do with them, but they appeared not to be needed for my installation. Over operational quality is good they are quick to drop down and retract. When they drop down expect to hear a "metal on metal thud" because they drop so quickly, this takes a little getting used to. Again, overall great product.

I liked the idea of a two step running board. My wife has had operations
on her knees and was difficult for her to get into her jeep with the
standard side steps. I started looking for powered steps and these
sounded like just the ticket. There was some fabrication involved,
because I installed them on a 2000 TJ Wrangler, but nothing too crazy. I
used some 3/16" flat bar and sandwiched it between the body mounts. In
retrospect, I should have used C channel for the longer front mount,
because I had to weld gussets on it. Welded a piece of angle to the
flat bar for the supplied mounts. If you don't have a welder, it could
all be bolted in with the C channel.
I also didn't care for the supplied magnets and switches held on with
tape to operate the steps. We hit up the u-pull-it wrecking yard and got
the same style switch that operates the dome lights and I installed them
above the original switches.
I put the door delete bypass in the housing for the front speakers on
the dash.
They have been installed for about two months now and we've had no
problems with the operation. Lots of likes from our friends who see them
in operation.

Very good steps, but the light "flickers" on/off on 1 side and stays on all the time on the opposite side! Doesn't really matter because they aren't bright enough to help in the dark!
by: Mark12/06/2023
Steve with TekRV, a mobile RV mechanic, out of Galveston did the installation. Everything went according to the instructions. Looks and works great. Co-pilot is happy, I am estatic.
by: Gary12/27/2023
Several concerns with this step. First is the design: The concept of two steps is so you can use two steps. However, the position that these rails attach to the truck makes them near level to the truck floor board which makes this step near useless. The second (lower) step is undependable when deploying and the angle at which it deploys means you have to step past the first to get in or out of the truck. So weird. This creates an awkward angle when getting in and out of the truck. When installing you must ensure the magnets are lined up perfectly. Even the slightest misalignment causes the lower rail to malfunction. The advertisement says these are maintenance free. This is not sure, you must routinely use a graphite lubricant on them. One step literally fell apart and they had to send another. We soent hours on the phone with their support team trying to diagnose why the seconds deployed erratically. The LED lights were a huge problem and turned on and off at intermittent times, even when parked. Very distracting for the neighbors. The third set of lights finally seem to be functioning correctly. When all said and done, after all the issues, they seem to be working fine, but again, the angle on which they deploy are not functional. If I had it all to do over, I’d never buy a deployable running board. They’re just a electric maintenance mess.

best looking running board! the ability to step on it to access roof rack is amazing and there is only one other competitor that does that. THIS IS NOT A ROCK SLIDE! But as a certified mall crawler this is great for the ladies and kids jumping in
by: Doug J08/11/2022
Seems like an excellent product. Etrailer makes things so easy, great software, terrific customer service and reliable shipping.
by: Glenn08/21/2023
The running boards have worked perfectly. the closed height is unobstructive for normal 4x4 use and the down position makes entry and exit easy even for persons with dexterity problems.
the light package is adequate for front and rear doors.
Installation went well, leave all bolts loose until mounted then tighten seems to make it easy.
I would highly recommend.
by: Ed05/10/2024
They are working as advertised, which is good for an old man. Service after the sale was great.
by: Wayne11/30/2023
Great product. Good fit, runs well with the body lines. Very clean install.
by: Angus10/09/2022
I order these for my 2022 Chevy 2500 they had them is stock and came fast. Very good fit bolted right on. It took me about 3 hours in my driveway to install them. They are about 12” off the ground when deployed. I like the 2 steps design very helpful. They look very nice and are built strong.
by: John 08/25/2023
Fantastic product
Got running boards on and went very easy and I’m 71 years old
Going to tackle the wiring harness this morning
by: Robert07/24/2023
The running boards arrived sooner than expected and customer service is great. The website could be better to see and understand what exactly you’re buying. Haven’t been able to install them yet, had to order extra parts. Downgrade one notch due to website.
by: Dennis07/03/2023
I have to say I was a little bummed when UPS showed up with my running boards and the box was destroyed so I refused delivery called etrailer up they said no problem and my new ones were here in 4 days, on a Holiday weekend mind you, customer service is second to none I highly recommend purchasing from etrailer
by: Justin03/14/2022
I really like them, the snow and ice sometimes stops them that's understandable and the lights don't always work I haven't looked at them yet but yes we love them thank you
by: Dennis05/11/2022
Running Boards are exactly as advertised. Simple to install as long as you follow the instructions.

- Which Aries Motorized Nerf Bars Fit on a 2020 Jeep Gladiator RubiconI have a solution for you, but the Aries # AA3047912 are not designed for the 2020 Gladiator. Instead, you'll want to use the Aries # AA27FR, which are a confirmed fit on the 2020 Jeep Gladiators, including the Rubicon models. These motorized steps automatically deploy when the door is opened and are a really great addition to her Jeep.
view full answer... - Will Longer Aries Action Trac Running Boards Fit On a 2021 Jeep Gladiator? The 88" Aries ActionTrac Motorized Running Boards # AA3025183 are going to be the longest Aries has. You will need the Custom Mounting Kit # AA87FR to attach them to your 2021 Jeep Gladiator.
view full answer... - Recommended Running Boards For a 2023 Jeep GladiatorI recommend the Aries ActionTrac Motorized Running Boards # AA27FR for your 2023 Jeep Gladiator. These running boards are powered and retractable. They will extend when you open the door and close up when the door is shut. This will ensure you do not loose a lot of ground clearance or have a very high step to climb. LED lights are included to ensure a safe step.
view full answer... - Will the Aries ActionTrac Motorized Running Boards # AA3025165 Fit My 2021 Jeep Gladiator?I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, the Aries ActionTrac Motorized Running Boards # AA3025165 will not fit your 2021 Jeep Gladiator. Also, that particular part does not come with the customized mounting hardware required for installation and does not include the LEDs. For both the correct length of running boards and the hardware/LEDs, I recommend the Aries ActionTrac Motorized Running Boards with Custom Installation Kit - LED Lights # AA27FR.
view full answer... - Aries ActionTrac Motorized Running Boards that Fit 2021 Jeep GladiatorFor the complete kit that includes the ActionTrac motorized steps and all of the needed hardware and wiring you'd just need the part # AA27FR which is a confirmed fit for your 2021 Jeep Gladiator. No other additional part numbers would be needed.
view full answer... - Can Aries ActionTrac Running Boards Be Fitted On a 1997 Ford F-250 HD? As the Aries ActionTrac Motorized Running Boards 3047975 # AA27FR you have are for a Jeep Gladiator and Aries does not offer mounting brackets for your 1997 Ford F-250 HD you would have to have something custom fabricated if there is enough room to fit the boards on your F-250. The only steps we have confirmed to fit your Extended Cab is the Carr Hoop 2 # CARR102521. As the wiring kits are also custom fit for the vehicle with the mounting brackets, they do not offer any wiring separately.
view full answer... - Correct Aries ActionTrac Motorized Running Boards and Brackets for 2020 Jeep Gladiator For your 2020 Jeep Gladiator the correct all-in-one Aries ActionTrac Motorized Running Board setup is with part # AA27FR. This includes all the needed hardware and the custom brackets for mounting boards onto your Gladiator Overland without the need for any drilling. The particular ActionTrac Running Boards that you were looking at are indeed for just the boards themselves (without a mounting kit).
view full answer... - Which Motorized Running Boards Are Compatible With 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon?Aries ActionTrac Motorized Running Boards with Custom Installation Kit - LED Lights # AA27FR is the correct kit for your 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. This kit comes with the 3025179 motorized running boards that you mentioned, and also the 3025171 mounting brackets that fit your vehicle. This includes everything necessary for installation and no drilling or welding is required. I attached a demonstration video for you.
view full answer... - Running Board Recommendation for 2005 Chevy Silverado Crew CabThe Aries Automotive # AA27FR are vehicle specific, and are a fit for the Jeep Gladiator so they wouldn't work on your 2005 Silverado Crew Cab. Although none of our vendors offer a powered running board option for your truck, we do have plenty of running board options that WILL work on your truck. I really like the Westin Sure-Grip Lighted Running Boards, part # 27-0015-1025. The running boards will light up when any of the vehicle doors open. I'll link to a description video and to the...

I love these and have recommended them many times. I havent had any problems with them. I hit them with some lubricant every few months to keep the smooth and quiet.
