I just bought mine too! Northridge 4x4 had a 10% off coupon and free shipping. Hadn’t shipped yet.

Nice! You may have gotten a better deal than me! Did you get the armor? I considered the lights but I'm going to do rock lights eventually so didn't...

$2667 all together. I opted for the lights and the door delete kit. I did not get the armor because I’m not planning on doing heavy off roading at the moment. Rocklights?

I was definitely over, after opting for the armor. The lights are basically rock lights, just under the steps. Rock lights go under the wheel wells, steps...well where ever you want to put them for offroading at night. I don't take my doors off enough for door delete....especially where I offroad.

Ok...RSE took my money. 4 boxes total. Gave the UPS driver a water and a Gatorade.

Install in a couple weeks/weekends. My knees are already saying "Thank you."

Your going to really like them. 2 floor jacks will be your friend.

Thanks! I have 4...going to read the install instructions a couple times. ...and of course look for videos for tips.

I got my RSE steps in over the weekend. I'm curious who has them on a diesel Gladiator? Where does the control module under rear seat go? Is the wiring through the firewall any different on a gasser vs diesel.

I vote White Knuckle Offroad. I had them on a previous Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro. I do not rock crawl, so basically I have some overly glorified side steps. Hah!
I like them with the stock Rubi Rails and those themselves provide great foot-kick protection, in conjunction with the sliders.

The older ones had a module I believe that went under the back seat. The newer ones have the module built in on each step and the wiring routes under the truck.

We installed Ironman step sliders….. Their website doesn’t claim they fit 2023 or 2024. We took the chance and ordered them and installed - bolted right up.

Probably been mentioned already but I have the Mopar enhanced step slider and really like them. If you really plan to bash them they probably might get hurt.

No wiring through firewall. The wiring starts at the battery on a gasser, then along the right frame rail, a branch goes up through a hole in the passenger rear floor pan, the rest cross over to the left by a cross bar, then up through a hole in the left passenger rear floor pan and then forward from there.
No wiring goes through firewall, no modules to install they are inside the steps.

For a diesel - can't say - but their support is AWESOME.
I imagine it would be super simple to run the positive lead for the steps across over to the diesel battery, still ground the ground wire at the right fender area. So if I had a diesel, I'd simply extend the power wire over to the battery and install the rest just like on the gas models.

I have a diesel Gladiator and the control module is on the drivers side in the storage bin under the back seat. The access is the same for both gas and diesel. I use the rubber plugs under the floor for easy wire and antenna access. There is a rubber wire acess plug high on the drivers side fire wall.

You likely have the first versions - there is no module any more and hasn't been for at least 2 or 3 years now.
They are on the 3rd generation now.

Yes I do have the first gen.

Mine work with the stock sliders.

how have they held up? Would you recommend i pop an extra coat of paint on them? I Just grabbed a set from extreme terrain for 323$ big sale for memorial day. Easy install? Can you shoot some pics of how they mount up?
