I love the look of the steps here. Is it just the angle, or does the Epyx come up short in the front? Maybe so you can get mud flaps in there?Here’s the Epyx installed on mine. The step is about 12-13” wide. Made of steel. Seem very durable.
Awesome, I've been waiting for a month for a good picture of the Epyx steps on a gladiator. They look great and now I can order them confidently tonight.here’s another angle, maybe a little shorter at both ends but nothing concerning
Thank you for these @Jake . I was honestly concerned a bit by the sharpness of the predator steps vs the rounded edges of the Epyx. Also was looking at materials too. Predator is touted to be 100% aluminum, while Epyx from what I've seen is steel, so a bit heavier.I have never seen an Epyx step on a Gladiator in person. They look great. I have the Predator Pro steps on my Gladiator. The main thing that I like about my steps is that when I go to step down and out of my truck the step is right there for my left foot to step on. It’s even better for getting in. This is just from my personal perspective. Am only 5’5” tall. So if you are at all vertically challenged then I can only suggest that you try both before you decide which one will work best for you AND your passengers. Epyx was not available for me to try out before I ordered my Predator steps but I have no regrets, well pleased.
I like the looks of the slatted holes at both ends of the Epyx steps. I like the fact that my Predator steps are made of aluminum. Not certain what the Epyx steps are made of. And finally fyi I am not thrilled with the design of the nuts that are used for my steps. They are not lock nuts and I wonder if they will vibrate loose. One nut had a defective clip on it. Working to get that nut replaced. I wonder if they use the same nuts and clips on the Epyx steps. See attached pictures.
I saw that & was wondering if whoever installed them "mixed them up" -- put the drivers on the passenger & vice-versa. The over hang in the back appears to be the same size as the gap in the front?
you won’t be disappointed. And
The Epyx are stamped for Drivers side and Passenger side. In addition, if you look Closely at the steps, the length of rail after the rear step is pretty short, so even if you flipped them against their ID, it would put the step for the front doors way too far forward.
Follow-up: Buyer beware!!! @runningboardwarehouse charges your card at the time of ORDER, not SHIPPING. I ordered on 09/20, my credit card *WAS CHARGED* 09/22. I contacted runningboardwarehouse today. They are saying 10-20 working days before shipment?
I too purchased my predator pro steps from running board warehouse. Shipped the next day. If u have noticed on this forum, alot of JT people are buying them. FWIW, i am not happy with mine and have a warranty claim in through NFAB. The little ears that attaches the step to the pinch weld has broken already and idk why. Just a heads up.
