Question:
I was wondering if your power running boards still have a paraitic voltage ?

Hi Tim; the Aries ActionTrac Motorized Running Boards # AA3025165 won't drain the battery. There should be no parasitic voltage. The only power draw comes from the running boards opening or closing and the LED lights. After looking through our reviews and searching online I haven't seen any reports of this being a problem either.
I don't expect any issues if you install these on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The correct kit is the # AA3036571 or if you want the door delete kit with it the # AA3036571DDK.
