Yeah mine was left out. I didn’t want to argue about it so I paid another 60 bucks for DHL shipping which is the fastest. Hopefully I get all the hardware soon. I will say that everything looks very well built.

Did you buy direct from the manufacturer? Item does look very robust and well packaged. Only thing I'm not sure of is how the black/red wires are connected to the OBD port (or is it wires near the OBD port that the red/black need to connect?)

View attachment 7848164OK, got them installed. They work fine, step is lower and easier to climb in to seat now. Wiring harness threaded behind ODB port, well concealed. The motors are reasonably tucked under. This is not an easy install and the supplied instruction manual is very rudimentary, they need to improve that. Overall am please with how it turned out.

Got mine mounted. First step took a while because I didn’t know how many shims I needed. I’d like to believe that all the trucks are the same. So for the next person installing, after back and forth I used one shim for each of the bolts on the fronts of the brackets. Backs don’t need any.

From Ali express. I can send a link if you’re interested. The same seller is on Amazon as well but they go for 1,350 on Amazon. I paid a little under 1,200 for these after shipping.

I recently installed the steps from Summer Auto Parts. Their delivery was fast, taking less than a week, and their communication was consistently prompt and responsive. Although the instructions provided were not very comprehensive, requiring some problem-solving on my part, the final outcome was great. The side steps look and perform great, meeting my expectations for good quality and subtle appearance while being ready for use when needed. Initially, I was concerned about their stability since they attach to the body rather than the frame, but after testing, there were no issues at all.

In addition to the shared info in this thread for these steps, I added sealant between the plaque and body where hardware connects, as I had to remove some original water seals. Next, cut the plastic trim for the mechanism to fold; I found 7 inches worked well. Lastly, plan wire placement inside the cabin; I routed mine under the door frame channel where other wires run. For grounding, use the spot behind the driver's side footrest.

Everyone has different preferences for side steps or rock sliders. These fit what I was looking for, and it's great to see the variety increasing so there’s something for everyone.

Well done! I’m expecting mine next week and will use your tips thanks!

• Some additional tips to keep in mind. Make a test of the motor before any installation, you can do this by connecting the wiring just to power, ground and signal. If they fold, you are good to go and start the real fun. Optionally, you could leave the cable management inside the vehicle at the end, I suggest you focus on the external part first since you will know how much wire is left to hide and identify the right spot. For me it worked well this way, but it is your choice, you can start inside out.
• To pass the wire inside the vehicle from left to right, remove the center console side panels. It's quite easy to remove them, and the vehicle is designed to be modified! No drama at removing panels, just be careful on the first ones so you get the feeling on how much to put pressure.
• For the exterior, removing the plastic trim is essential for installing and fixing the mechanism; there's no alternative. The steps for removal the plastic trim is quite simple. Two screws on one side close to the from tires and just pull them out carefully. They come out easily.
• As you install the hinges, I suggest sealing as you go. You can get that black sealant on any auto parts store that is waterproof.
• You will install the hinges but do not tight the nuts since you will require to adjust the position once you do some testing.
• Cut the plastic trim, put it back (do not fix the screws you removed initially yet) make a test, if the hinges fold without touching the plastic trim you are ready for adjustment. For me 7 inches depth worked, and you can see in the photo, could be a bit less.

1. Against the plastic the plastic trim. This ensures the step aligns correctly with the plastic trims when closed, so you have equal gap between the step and the plastic trim – and the reason you do not want to tight the nuts yet. Once this is good you can tight the nuts.

1. The step being centered. You do not tight the chromed screws at fixing the step util you verify this adjustment right to left, you will need to watch it is centered. Once this is done you are good to go and put back the screws to fix the trim.

Thanks for uploading to the resources area. Much better quality than the one with the package.

Got the steps installed, added a handle bar on the driver side and also an upgrade with the Fox steering stabiliser. Improved handling greatly.
