Anyone on here build their own rails/steps yet? I'm looking to design and build my own. Nothing fancy just simple functional nerf bars. If anyone has any dimensions length, width, bolt spacing and layout would be handy. I've looked over a few designs and feel l have some ideas on how I'd like to make mine just want to see what others have. I haven't sat down and measured the truck yet but I hope to have this rolling soon.

The closest to what you're asking is @TJ Mitchell Films
He modified the Rubicon rock rails and added steps...

Bummer they’re out of stock. Totally missed that.
I wonder how much of a beating these can take.
i dunno, @Pat2Alaska just said somewhere his RSE ones took some abuse recently and are still rocking (no pun intended) But I really want the full width step of the Amp one. Damn these Jeeps are pricey. Looking at $4,000 just for steps and a retractable tonneau cover, lmao.

it will be awesome if they make theirs to be just on the inside of the bed - not covering the rails. If they don't cover the side rails we'll be golden for racks and things.

Anybody got advice on a thread or brand for sill covers? I find i'm stepping all over the white painted part when i get out of my JT without a rockrail/steprail.

They also have their covers that have built in T tracks that sit on the rails. Pretty cool, cuz you can mount stuff to that as well. Bike mounts, kayak mounts ladder rack, ect....... okay, no more talk of tonneau on here, leave that for the tops thread, :idea:

yea, that would be nice if they made that one too. Since that looks like it goes onto some kind of mounting mechanism on the bed rails.

These are great: Mopar Door Sill Guards Part #82215551

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RK4H9Y3

thread: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/mopar-door-sill-guards-part-82215551.19116/

EDIT: There are definitely other brands out there. But I like the Mopar ones, and with amazon I had them the next day.
