i just purchased a base model 2010 unlimited soft top 6spd. it came with no steps/rock rails, not sure what they are called.

do i have to drill if i want to mount an OEM rail/step?

Nope, if your talking about the mopar side steps then no drilling required, just screws and bolts.

awesome, thank you. and what about a majority of the aftermarket steps/guards?

depends on the manufacturer

i just did this. last week i picked up an unlimited sport, and got the side steps at cost ($320) i put them on b/c the dealer would have charged $90 for the install. it was ridiculously easy. the cardboard box was the perfect size top put on the ground under the jeep. there was plenty of room for me to lay on the ground and bolt them on. no drilling required for the stock side steps.

here is the pdf to install (just change the xx to tt in the web address) hxxp://www.quadratec.com/Assets/Installation/75628.pdf

good luck with your new jeep.

I just finished this install myself before dinner. Easy as could be...after I found my 10mm box wrench.
Wifey likes the look. Says it looks more finished. I said, "Baby, we're just gettin' started!"

i wish you guys posted your side steps in the f/s section... i would have rather paid one of you guys than the dealership.
