Side step fitting

Evans4x4 · 05-09-2013, 16:42

I am looking to get some side steps as the jeep looks plain without them and was wondering if the holes are there to bolt the steps too

Mine are mounted with brackets. I only know cos I'm trying to remove them, but the bolts are proper stuck. So if you have some side steps with the brackets then the holes should be there for them (or so I would logically assume)

side steps are easy to put on or remove on the T2, holes are there BUT if it had them previously and they were removed odds are that the bolts sheared when they were removed, the brackets have little lugs on them that slot into extra holes on the chassis this aids in fixing the bolts in place, but be warned, i found the side steps help to keep the wet mud etc. against the sills and aided the tin worm in its rampage of war upon them.

Dammit... all this talk of sidesteps has me thinking about taking mine off now, 'specially as the nearside one is looking so battered... also having checked tonight I reckon the sill protection is marginal

Might think twice about fitting them now with the above comments and
Having a look about there not cheap either.
