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.

one question < are the motors water tight , will they handle imersion during creek crossing ?

Sure:
The instruction manual is really bad, it looks like they whipped up on a 20 year old computer in 30 minutes. They just finished producing these, I believe I am one of these first customers for these steps from them. They originally only had two motors, they added a third after it was bouncy they said. The motors needed shims to get them to line up even and rubber grommets were added also. The plastic rocker panel trim piece needed to be removed and cut slightly to fit the motors. It does not plug in to the OBD2 port itself, it was tapped in the wiring. The 4th picture above you can see the red connectors behind the port. It took a good 5 hours. The. Steps are not bouncy, but do have a bit of flex when you put weight on them. They are not as stiff as the Urban Black Shadow fixed steps. The parts seemed to be of good quality. Obviously, this company does not provide much support if there are problems so keep that in mind. They are reasonably priced, it was $1200 all in including shipping to East Coast by air (3-5 days)

Hi Sandy
Looks like you have done a great job with the product. You seem to have achieved a very professional finish. I also like the fact you realise that you have taken a chance with these steps and that your expectations are very realistic. Hopefully, your faith in this company and its product will prove to have been well placed. Look forward to reading how you get on.
 
Placed order last week. Will see how long takes to get here and what (if any) kind of documentation / installation instructions are available.

Sweet let us know how it goes. For wiring to OBD2 I am considering a male OBD2 pigtail vs tapping the harness….

Would you be able to post up a copy of the fitting instructions please - I'm sure these would answer a few of my questions.

probably a mote point now as I checked prices and the steps were just over $2000 and the freight was $2500 but still interested if you get enough people for a 10 order

The freight was $2500? Or the sliders with freight is $2500?

Unless something changed, that sounds off. Mine were $1200 USD total including shipping by air to east coast of USA for just one set.

That sounds a bit more realistic ,I would have no hesitation at that price . Are you still going to go ahead with the group buy ?
