IRONMAN 4X4 heavy duty side steps are made from high quality steel, powder coated for longevity and chassis mounted for strength.
Designed to help protect your vehicle from damage off-road and provide a convenient step into lifted 4WD's.
Heavy-duty side steps praised for sturdy construction and frame mounting. Customers said they "look great" and provide solid protection. Installation takes about an hour, though instructions could be more detailed. Some noted packaging marks on powder coating and challenging bolt access. Fits well with close body tolerance.
These sliders have been on my list for a year or so, took advantage of a 60% off discount which was awesome! Sliders showed up on my doorstep within 48hrs. Packaging and quality was top notch. No issues. Installation was pretty easy. Watched a few YouTube videos and was able to install in about an hour by myself. Great purchase all around.
Looks great, Fits great 👍
These WILL fit a 2026 Gladiator if you are willing to remove the frame stiffener bracket/skid plate. I can see why they aren't advertised for the newer models as this would be a huge liability for Ironman. The newer Gladiator-JT was upgraded with a frame stiffener around 21' or 22' but I have not seen any reports of older frames failing in thiis area. These bars are beefy and strong! They bolted right up. Print directions from the website.
Steps are well made and heavy duty. Attachment to frame is good with one exception, one of the nuts is very difficult to access to tighten. Powder coating is good but the packaging material used left a large 2 inch wrapping mark the entire length of the steps and does not come off. A powder coat specialist said the wrapping may have got wet during transit which caused the marks.
The Jeep Gladiator Mojave I purchashed had a set of side steps already installed, sure they looked good and I am sure they helped the previous owner load groceries. I ordered a set of Ironman 4x4's Raid Side Steps the day after I bought my Jeep because I needed the protection of heavy-duty, strong, frame mounted sliders.
Ironman 4x4 Raid armour was the perfect replacement as it is a brand I trust and a brand that stands behind their products.
*Side note, as with any brand, more detailed installation notes would be greatly appreciated and would have made a relatively easy install even easier.
I have not wheeled it hard yet, but its build solid, very confident with it under my jeep.
Product:
•Side steps were securely boxed and wrapped in protective cushioned material
•The welds look good and clean
•Finish is nice and consistent, look to be durable (they were accidentally slid across garage floor and not a scratch or scuff)
•All hardware was included (inside the product box, in a separate box and packaged)
•There are 4 drain hole plugs on each slider
•The side steps perfectly fit the gladiator in length and are sized proportionally to the Jeep
•No install instructions included in the boxes (available to print online or YouTube videos)
Fit & Install:
•They perfectly match the contour of the jeep body, with close tolerance to the body
•These side steps are frame mounted at 3 contact points (beefy bracing)
•The side steps cover the pinch seam
•They do Not hang down low and are above the frame at all points
•They do not stick out excessively from the jeep body (approximately 4”)
•They look good on the Jeep!
•Fairly easy to install (they are heavy 95lbs each)
•I had to loosen the center cab mount to install these side steps (once this was done, that center section secured the side steps for the other attachment points)
•Everything else went easy without having to remove or loosen anything else (existing side rails must be removed prior to install)
•I was not fond of the rear mounting bolt inserted and the threads hanging down from the frame for the rear mount (I may try to place a nutsert in the frame in place of this)
•It took me just a little over 1 hour to install these by myself on the garage floor.
Function:
•The top cover plate has enough coverage to help reduce mud and rock slinging and provides a small step
•Have drainage holes to allow the tubes to drain if needed (includes plugs)
•Look the part and I fully expect for them to perform as well
•Off road durability yet to be determined. Hope to find out soon!
Finish is well done.
They don't hang low.
VERY sturdy.
Adequate step, but not a great step.
Look good!
Challenges:
Instructions are comically insufficient and weren't in the box. Had to download them.
The exploded parts view is the most useful part.
Instructions and video for JL online say to loosen the center body mount bolt and is sketchy/difficult. That bolt is only loosened to make room to get the slider into the bracket mount. Was able to mount the drivers side without loosening it at all, was tight but it worked. Try to do it without loosening that bolt.
On the drivers side you should loosen/lower the gas tank skid. Not in any instructions and is a challenge solo. They honestly should use this as the rearmost lower bolt on the mount.
On both the passenger and driver side there is a bolt that hangs down from the frame at the rear mounting point. So dumb and will surely get sheared off one day.
Didn't take long to install these especially if you skip the body bolt loosening and already know to loosen the gas tank skid.
These rails were not installed by me I took them into a Jeep Dealership to do the work. Be careful with the body bolts, as one did break at the dealership luckily they were able to fix it on the spot. The rails look great and serve as a step.
