Automatic Deployment Meets Ultimate Ground Clearance

Transform vehicle accessibility with the Go Rhino E1 Electric Running Boards. Designed specifically for the high-clearance demands of off-road rigs, these retractable steps automatically deploy when you open your Jeep's door to reveal a spacious stepping platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these electric steps require drilling or cutting for installation?

No drilling or cutting is required. The Go Rhino E1 kit features a direct bolt-on installation using factory mounting locations along the rocker panels, significantly reducing installation time and preserving structural frame integrity.

How does the step bypass work if I want to keep them retracted on the trail?

The system includes an interior bypass switch mounted inside the cabin. This allows you to manually disable the automatic deployment functionality entirely, keeping the steps tucked away securely during intense rock crawling or obstacle navigation.

What weight capacity can these power running boards handle?

Thanks to the lightweight, heavy-duty aluminum build paired with rigid steel mounting brackets, these side steps safely support up to 300 lbs per stepping area during active deployment.

How do these handle harsh winter elements and salt?

The step bodies are protected with an aggressive textured black powder coat finish backed by a 5-year finish warranty. This architectural finish resists corrosion from road salt, grime, and moisture while maintaining consistent grip.
