Hooke Road Wrangler Door Hinge Step Foot Pedal w/Since 1941 Sign for 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK & JKU

These side steps were a great upgrade for my Jeep. They’re solidly built and feel like they can take a beating, whether on the trail or just daily use. Installation was straightforward—everything lined up perfectly and I had them on in under an hour with basic tools.For the price, the quality is impressive—they offer a ton of value, and once installed, they’re super easy to use with a sturdy, comfortable step every time.A friend saw them the other day and immediately asked where I got them. That says it all. Highly recommend if you want something that looks great and holds up well.

These are easy to install. Just don't open the door while you have the bolts loose (obviously). Other than that, it is a pretty straight forward installation. They feel well seated and secure on the door-side. Get them, they look cool. I bought two and am buying two more for the front. I think they look really good.

These door steps are awesome. They look great and fir perfect. They are functional if you need to reach on the top of your Jeep to work with a hard top, soft top or if you have a rooftop tent. They also look super tough and are very rugged. I actually bought 4 to put on all 4 of my doors. Great buy and would buy a hundred times over.

Pros:Compatible with 2007 - 2018 JK, JKU, JKURHeavy DutySolidBottle OpenerFolding StepFunctionalCons:NoneWhat I received in the package:2 x HOOKE ROAD Wrangler Door Hinge Step8 x Bolts2 x Safety BoltThis HOOKE ROAD Wrangler Door Hinge Step product is made of steel and has a black powder coating. It can withstand a maximum weight of 200 lbs.First off, a max weight of 200 lbs?? Really??I am 5’10”; Athletic Build; 192 lbs … that is not much room for error on my part. However, I haven’t had any issues with the step so far.Installation is straightforward and relatively easy. The hardest part of this install was removing the OEM bolts that have been in place since my 2008 Jeep JKUR was built. Most came out with some elbow grease but two were real difficult.When inspecting the new bolts provided by HOOKE ROAD, I found them to not be of the same quality as the OEM bolts that came with the Jeep. They were the same size so I opted to install the steps with my OEM bolts as opposed to the supplied bolts. The OEM bolts have the Jeep pattern so I makes them more difficult to remove. They just seemed sturdier and better quality IMO.Installation time was about 5 minutes tops per step. Once you have the bolts out … you just put the step in place and start each bolt to make sure you don’t have any fitment issues. I then hand tightened them down and then alternated top bolt to bottom bolt to even out the tightening. Per the Jeep Body Manual (M.R.255), the torque specification is 24 ft-lbs or you could see shifting in the hinge. So I then used my torque wrench and ensured I had that value on each bolt. I also used a little bit of removable LocTite to keep them from moving out of place. Done.One thing I didn’t care for about this setup. The safety bolt you tighten down to keep the step from moving when collapsed is not extremely durable and it is shiny. Some advise … move this to the back side of the step so it won’t take damage from rocks, etc. I would also be more comfortable if this could bare a bit more weight. For instance, at my weight, it would be difficult for me to stay within the restriction with clothes on alone. Much less trying to secure something to the top of my Jeep or taking it back off.Also, I would expect the manufacturer to supply a gaskets to protect the hinge surface which is not included.I appreciate you taking the time to read this. All in all, the brackets seem solid and the step seems secure. The bottom bracket has a bottle opener … always a plus. They are a nice addition and really helps with access to the top of the Jeep. I do have some concerns that have been stated by other reviewers regarding it rusting. I will update my review in a few months to report as to how they stand up to the weather. Hope this information was helpful. [4 Stars]

Quick delivery. Good price good quality. Excellent experience

They are heavy than expected. I did sand and primer mine. Had paint mixed the color of my jeep. Painted and cleared them. I would not use bolts it came with. The bolts are junk and will break. Go buy better bolts or use your bolts on your door. I bought bolts but ended up using my factory bolts. I read they they will rust. That is one reason I bought primer and paint to keep them in good condition. I'd recommend these if your looking for a set. I'd also recommend you sand and primer them. Paint color you want after that.

A sturdy enhancer but it gets rusty within 8 months

The media could not be loaded. Somewhat easy install. Just be sure to use a T50 torx bit. I weigh 220 lbs and this side step can easily handle it!
