Step up in style. Sidesteps have come a long way, and now we've taken them to the next level with Rough Country's Power Running Boards! These retractable E-Boards tuck tight for a clean look when not in use and automatically extend when the door is opened. With an anti-slip surface that provides a secure stepping area, getting in and out of your ride has never been easier. Our Power Running Boards also include LED lights that provide illumination when deployed and shut off when steps are closed, providing a sleek, aerodynamic look.
Premium Construction. The Rough Country E-Board Steps combine durability, strength, and style. These 6" all-season steps are made from lightweight yet durable aluminum and can support up to 660 lbs per side. Equipped with dual motor technology, these steps can handle anything Mother Nature throws their way. They feature an automatic 'SAFE-STOP' mechanism that engages if a blockage is detected and include an interior bypass switch for manual override. So whether you're heading out on a weekend errand or loading up for a camping trip, our electric steps offer reliable protection for all your adventures.

Appreciate the video greatly. It helps to have a 2nd person to install the motor protection plates to catch the threads on the flag nut and the M12 tension block . Also connecting motor harness , I had to use needle nose pliers to tuck connections inside protection plate. My install is on a Sahara 4xe which has several insulated cooling hoses and wiring harnesses on driver’s side frame rail limits access to holding flag nut and feeding wiring harness. Job would have been much easier with motors extended. Also mention torque specifications are in installation pamphlet.
Those motors come closed why didn’t you show how you opened those motors without power. You can’t reach the bolts while they are in closed position.
That was a pain! I had to ignore the instructions many times during the install and just figure it out. RC really needs to revise the install instructions.
I left those bolts bottom up bolts and the front motors guards for the end. Once I had all else mocked up and tested for operation I left motors extended and tightened up everything. Helps to batter center boards to have them rather loose.
Got mine ordered and professionally installed on 10/2. Really looking forward to making the wife and myself happy with this great option.
Where in Texas did you have your e-step installed?
Thanks. So I’m not losing my mind. I thought I missed a step of something. 😅
If you have the all weather floor mats that moves the floor plug on top of the floor mat, how do you get the wires into the cab?
Just came across this issue. If you look under the passenger seat there is another drain plug that is not well documented. I used that one. Same es they show but routing it close to the seat brackets. Then at the base of the console stack and gears got area meet. Gives you a bit less slack when routing it to drivers side but still gives you enough. I mounted my switch onto the carpet with Velcro just below the 4wd gear selector on the drivers side.
Do an install of these e boards on a 22-23 Tundra
Will this fit on jeep willy
How do you get the motor arms down without power??
Same question. After watching the video several times, the harness is on , off, and on … I suspect they were power cycled.
Working on them right now I used a battery with negative wire and positive wire I had laying around and lowered them to get to bolts
I just installed these on my 21 JLU. To open my motors, I just used a 12v cordless tool battery and touched the wires to the plugs. I installed the door sensors on the rear to the latches. It helps to open the boards faster. The kit does not have an option for Doors Off driving. I did some testing and have a solution. It involves adding two time delay relay modules and some momentary push buttons. I can give more details if needed. I did not like the instructions or packaging at all. A complete mess. The driver side motors should have had all the bolts packed with them. Same for passenger side and motor covers. Instructions should have been separated to 4 door and 2 door. Not shown on the same pages.
Hello this might be a Gladiator specific question but for the rear mounting blocks does anybody know which way you’re suppose to orient them? They are ramp shaped and instruction don’t mention which way to put them on???? I did mine with the thicker part towards the rear 🤷🏼♂️
That’s the way. Body kinda cinches up so the blocks offset that.
Do the e-boards provide any unbody protection similar to a rock rail?
I would say no. They aren't metal.
Yes, these boards are made from aluminum and can give you some protection, but they are not designed to be used as rock sliders.
Can the e-boards be adjusted so they don’t close as tight to body? Passenger side hits painted body when closed. Thanks
I heard it hit the body panel in their video. Did you ever find an answer to this?
@@ElevatedVehicles sort of. I provided enough video proof that the company sent an entire set for me to try as they kept stating that since the motor/gear assembly was a non adjustable unit, it should not allow for the board to hit the vehicle when closed. I changed out the two motors on the passenger side and sent the rest back. They paid for return shipping. That side was fixed, then a month later the driver side started bumping when closed. I found when closed I could manually pull down on the running board a little and it opened the closure gap for a while. Finallyt I just gave up. I still like the eboards and put a thin bumper on the place where the eboard hit the body. I think that inside the motor/gear unit however it is made allows the gears to slip a little. It has a built in stop in case something gets caught while it closes so it is not a hard slam. But over time I can see the eboard rubbing on the body and pain. Hope that helps.
@@deltalimajuliet5680that does help thank you so much for the info!
Glad one side doesn't hit anymore. Ironically towards the end of the video above, the e board hits the body
How did you extend the motors for installation without hooking up the entire harness?
I want know this too
@@trevorhartfield5975 I ran a jumper wire to the battery to extend.
I had the same problem. I hooked up the harness on the bench and cycled the valet switch to get the motors to extend.
I'd like to wire these up to one of my auxiliary switches. Anyone know how?
I was just thinking about how I can put switches in to make them operate with doors off. I haven’t bought them yet but I’m going to tonight. If I’m thinking correctly, I want to drill a switch in on both grab handles of my JT. Bc they use magnets to switch the motors it should just be a matter of tapping into those 2 wires to break the contacts with an inline switch. This will allow both driver and passenger to individually lower steps with the doors off.
do they double as rock guards?
Yes, these boards are made from aluminum and can give you some protection, but they are not designed to be used as rock sliders.
What was the time spent on the installation?
Just took me like 6-7 hours with interruptions and coming back to this video and instructions and a few other videos of similar installs. With the know how I got now I’m positive I could knock another one in 4/5 hours.
Will you make one for JKU?
Did you ever find out?
What are the torque specs for the motor and board?

Torque instructions are in the manual.
Are these good enough for offroading?
Will these install on a 4xe?
Yes. I installed on a 2021 Rubicon 4xE
Yes, l installed on 2022 Sahara 4xe.
@@adamscyclingclub7078 are those good on 4xE ??
im installing next week on my rubi 4xE
@@iyadwinder fit perfectly. Wife's Rubicon 4xE and she loves them. I modified the install slightly- instead of installing the switch inside, I stowed it near the battery under the hood. I intend to wire into one of the 4 stock push button switches at some point, but haven't got to it yet.
@@adamscyclingclub7078 So you’re trying to connect that switch to one of the AUX buttons?
Rear ground is not the same in a JT
100% correct. Ran into the same problem. How did you ground it?
Why would you ever mount control module under the jeep where all water and snow goes? Wont that kill it?
Good point. I don't think it has an IPX7/8 rating.
Damn, way too much work to install. For the price you’d think they come with installation. I’ll stick with manual boards.
The instructions provided in the box are complete trash.
Actually even this “instructional” video is absolute garbage.
WARNING if you are watching this for help with the JT install. Ground in rear is not the same. Getting the 3rd bolt in the motor is a complete PITA with the motor compressed. Notice how the motor is all of a sudden extended when he puts in the 3rd bolt? Trash instructions.
What's going on with that goatee dye job 🤣
