Just picked up a 2017 rubicon, my first jeep and it's a great vehicle. Does anyone know if 2016 side steps are rails fit 2017 I know they are the same body code but just making sure.

 

Welcome to the forum. What part of Texas are you in? You're '17 JK is going to be compatible with all the previous rails/steps for JK's.

 

I live in the dfw area, and thank you I was looking at some rails and some vendors said the 16's wouldn't fit the 17's? I have two small children and they could use some help getting in and out of the Wrangler.

 

which venders? i can't imagine what they changed on the final year of the JK in regards to that fitment.

 

I was looking at set on eBay, kind of a knock off n fab setup, they said they wouldn't fit, so that kind of threw me off.

 

This could just be due to the '17s just rollin' out and they don't have the specs updated, so are erroring on the side of caution. I notice on Northridge4x4 you can't even select a 2017 as your vehicle yet, but if you go to Quadratec and search the common sliders and such, you'll see them designated for fitment with '07 - '17.

 

Feel free to log in here and let us Texas guys know where ya are in the DFW area

Agreed!
I have had a number of similar situations with vendors. They don't want to risk selling you something that won't work so until they can verify they just go with "no". Seems counter productive from a sales perspective but I suppose it's better than having the product returned and potentially pissing off a consumer.

I'm not a vendor, so my opinion is: yeah it should work

 

If they did indeed make any changes on things like that in the final year of the JK, that would rank up there with one of the dumbest things ever from a production standpoint. I am 99.9999999% sure that since Quadratec has already updated all their products to reflect the '17 models, you are in the clear.

Send a picture of the new jeep by the way! What color is it? Let's see it in it's baby form before any mods.

 

This is her, and I thought the same I like the nfab steps but 349 is steep so will we see and yeah I will hit up the the Texas forum.
