I have the OEM running boards. They are not worth it at any cost. They are for looks only. I waiting for amp research to make the automatic boards fit the L. I have these removed and the real ones installed. They have to pull off all the cladding on your Jeep to put the useless boards on. The board is the same plain as the inside floor. There is no step. That cladding size is like 10-12 inches tall. I kept my cladding and put it in the attic of my garage. I'm sorry I put these on. Buyers remorse.

It looks to me like the OEM Mopar black or bright side steps provide rocker panel protection, plus IMO look nice.
My plan (when I can finally order my vehicle) is to select / include those OEM bright side steps.
Note if something else exists at that time I will also examine those options, but I currently like this OEM parts.

Can I ask where you purchased the still protectors? And are they on the rear door sills also.
if so would you mind sharing a pic.
Thanks very much

Do you feel they are worthless because they are structurally lacking and don't bear weight well (or wont for very long), or because the step is positioned in the same plane as the interior floor board, or both? I like the looks of them and have considered getting some but haven't seen them in person to know their weak points. Thanks for your input!
The step height on the Wagoneer boards looks lower. They have more distance between the step and the bottom of the door. On the GC it looks like you would be clearing accumulated snow off of the step ever time you open the door.

The running boards are not functional. Where they are placed are actually dangerous. Mt Ram was great you open a door and the step goes down very far. My 95 year old mother can't use the steps where they are situated. I have to use a small foldable step stool for her. How can running boards be effective if they are on the same plain of the floor? They are built sturdy, they need to be lower like on the Wagoneer.

So true, and if you keep the suspension in a higher position you can fall on your face. Passengers freak out. I leave it mostly in the higher position because I do not want to get the two air dam rubbers torn off by the cement parking stops. Your suspension does down in front of it and if you forget to manually raise the suspension, it gets scrapped badly or worse. . I used sand paper to get those little rubber strings off of it where it was a braised on the cement parking stop.
