I am not sure. I actually bought it from the dealership like that so I don't know what parts where put on it.

If I’m honest they look a lot like the RC nerf bars

I think they are very close but not quite the same.

After seeing them side by side I can agree with that. rc doesn’t turn in like the other one does. The search remains. Give me some time, I’m a nerd when it comes to research that doesn’t pertain to me ?

Oddly enough, I found those RC ones after finding this old post where the OP said they were RC steps…

I am trying to remember the company name written on the steps and the only thing I can remember is always thinking that I didn't recognize the name every time I got in it.

Those ones look just like mine.

My thoughts exactly. What about Smittybuilt?

Those ones look like a winner to me

Seems to make the most sense. Smittybuilt is one in the same with RC. Probably built in the same factory.

Not sure they are Smittybuilt either...

Added some gas struts to the hood and locking hood latches today. Not too sure I like the hood latches but they were the only ones that didn't look cheap so they will stay for now.

I got the Banks iDASH and Pedal Monster installed, removed all the old lettering and badging from the previous shop and also the dealership. Put on the new lettering and got all the recovery gear organized in the deck'd storage. I also stopped by the dealership and they got the parts ordered for the HPFP recall and said it would take about 3-4 weeks to get the parts in. Next up is either running power to the center of the Dash or taking it to the local shop to see about getting RockSlide Engineering steps put on this but the side rock guards and rock sliders are all kit and all bolt together so it is a little more involved than just removing he current ones and installing the new ones.

Those look a lot like the Rugged Ridge Spartan Nerf Bars.

OP, your new Gladiator is a true beast! You found a real gem.
