Don't buy Go Rhino rb20 side steps. Updated.

[Jacksonholio]

Check out the Romik Running Boards. They have a bunch of different styles and if you order, use my coupon code Bronco20 for $20 off. 2 door and 4 door are in stock. I use them for Dealer Jobs I install on other vehicles as well. I helped them do a test fit on both 2 and 4 doors. Easy Install using existing mounting points. https://romik.com/amfinder?find=2021-ford--bronco--19061&sid=KaprwkXHK1

I like the rb20 steps and your graphics on my Bronco.

Love them on my Gladiator. They are my first choice when I get my Bronco. I'm sure they will be fixed by then.

They are fixed already.. OP all ready received the new brackets. My set is supposed to arrive by 10/18

OP, How well does the RB20 cover your pinch weld? I just installed and am a little disappointed in the size of the gap on mine. However, I have yet to go rework/tweak the install to see if I can close the gap.

Hmm, I'll have to have a look later but I think my pinch welds is covered up fully. You've got the pinch part covered up so it looks good but try to make some adjustments.

I'm happy with the coverage meaning what was there is largely no longer visible. I also think the lighter color paint shows up more behind the step than the darker like mine. If I get down and look it's not perfect but who gets down on their knees to look? Looking at it standing 3' from the rig I see no sign of that part of the body.

Thanks for the input and confirmation guys. I adjusted and made some improvement that my OCD can live with. I’d agree with the light colors showing a little more, I think it’s really just the contrast from the black bracket that got to me.

Thanks for posting photos of the rb20 boards installed. I think they look great!

What is the height to the top of the step? I'm trying to decide if I should go with these or the D1 steps.

It's 18.5" to top of step where you foot lands. My opinion on that D1...it hangs a little low and that looks, well different....

@Jacksonholio How do you feel the RB20s do on protecting the body panels from rocks being slung up by the tires? I'm also considering the Go Rhinos DSS or maybe the D6s but these now have my interest. Did you consider the DSS or D6?

I did not consider the other 2 you mention here. Look around the image search button on this site and you'll probably find some installed. As far as the protection offered, very happy. Off road in the gravel it sounds bad, real noisy from rocks. But none of them have made to the paint yet so for me they are 100% effective.

Not a fan of step boards, but those are the best looking Rhino's IMO.

Thanks, @Jacksonholio. Do you recall the width of the step?

I’m really liking the RB20’s. My wife is only 5’ so I decided to help her out. If you’re not aware these are tapered. I installed mine backwards with the wider step at the back. It has a similar style to RTR steps with a kick out at the back. I like the looks better and the smaller step up front is still plenty big. They have a lip that covers most of the pinch weld. They came packaged well with all parts. It was a fairly simple install once you figure out the bracket locations.

Thanks! I think that will work out great. I placed an order this morning for a set.

I bought the RB10's and I am having the same bracket issue and I bought them a few weeks ago. Just emailed them we will see what they say fairly sure it wasn't installed wrong.
