If you're looking to upgrade your Jeep Gladiator with something that combines practicality and a bit of tech flair, check out the AMP Research Powerstep Smart Series. These aren’t just any running boards; they’re the cream of the crop—power-retractable and now with smartphone integration. Seriously, this is the kind of upgrade that makes you feel like you’re driving a luxury rig without breaking the bank.

First off, let’s talk about the build quality. These boards are made from heavy-duty alloy, featuring anodized cast-aluminum steps and corrosion-resistant stainless steel hinge pins. They’re built to last, and with a military-grade PTFE coating, you won’t have to worry about rust or wear and tear ruining the look over time. Whether you're off-roading or just cruising around town, these boards will hold up.

Accessibility is a big deal, especially if you’ve got taller tires or a lifted setup. The Powerstep Smart Series drops over a foot from the door sill plate, which makes getting in and out of your Gladiator a breeze. The oversized 6-inch wide step surface is perfect for any footwear, and the integrated LED lights make sure you can see where you’re stepping, day or night.

Now, the real kicker is that these running boards automatically deploy when you open the door and retract when you close it. But if you want to take control, the new smartphone integration lets you do just that. Need to clean the boards or keep them retracted while hitting the trails? Just pull out your phone and manage it all from the app. It’s as simple as that!

And let’s not forget about the load capacity—these boards can handle up to 600 lbs. That's double what you’ll find with most other running boards. So whether it’s you, your buddy, or a couple of kids climbing in, you can trust they’ll hold up.

Installation is pretty straightforward, thanks to the included vehicle-specific mounting brackets and wiring harness. You’ll want to have a pro handle the wiring, though. There’s a bit of electrical integration with the OBDII module, and you want to make sure it’s done right. But don’t sweat it; there are video guides available to help you out!
