Anybody modified the side steps so they are higher and moved in slightly. I had a bit of a look and the steps will move in and up perfectly- just need to work out how to modify the brackets to do it. I could cut and reweld, but dont like loosing the little strength they already have.

i have a free set of side steps for any one wanting them one side has a slight bend ideal for a second set for the bush keep the good ones for big smoke

Best mod I did to mine, was unbolt them after they went banana shaped - fitted ARB rails & steps, which are heaps stronger.........

funny you ask ,did the drivers side last week and got an extra 40mm in height and still have stone chip protection,just cut and weld 40mm out of the brackets ,then trim the mouldings and the alum step a bit and just looks like the factory steps without the expense,sits 5mm below the body seam ,iam saving money a suspension,bar and bash plate
can you the arb step to jack the car up or do they use the existing bracket holes

by **Austblue** on Sat Apr 05, 2008 2:28 am

I must be missing something because to me making side steps from scratch looks just as hard as making rock sliders :roll:

by **Buzzy** on Sat Apr 05, 2008 11:13 am

Its harder to make sliders than side bars Aust.

Why,
Sliders need to be mounted of the chassis in order for them to be "true" sliders, easier said than done.
Hard to explain but here goes. They should be at least fixed to the chassis in three places, back/middle/front.
The chassis runs parallel with the body of the car from the back mount point to the center mount point. Then from there the chassis tapers in towards the front center of the car, If you have a look you will no what I mean. Much harder (but not impossible) to do than side steps which you can mount from the original location.
Would be interesting to see a few underbody pics of bubbalucci's to see how ARB have mounted them..... buddy old pal 8-)

by **andyj** on Sun Apr 06, 2008 8:51 am

sjp have you any pictures of the mods

Andy

by **Austblue** on Sun Apr 06, 2008 10:09 pm

But even mounting from the original location you'd have to measure it up and get it lined up right into the original bolt holes?

I know I must be wrong but I just cant really appreciate why :p

by **sjp** on Mon Apr 07, 2008 3:16 am

surely a person like me ,who always cuts twice and measures once can get it almost right, can get it to work then anybody can,brackets hold the step with only 2 screws each,so that can be a bit forgiving for bad alignment and cutting it at 40mm with allow you to put a spacer in the top bolt hole of the bracket so you can tension the bracket angle to level to allow for notso straight welding of the bracket angle ,iam more pleased with how the trim ends look,photos following

theres pics on my profile

by **Eelesy** on Mon May 05, 2008 6:27 am

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE

I embarked on my latest mission this morning, modding the standard steps to sit higher.

by **Bubbalucci** on Mon May 05, 2008 7:33 am

what have we told you about drunken posting bubba!

by **Dave** on Mon May 05, 2008 9:34 am

We STILL can't get the ARB steps over here!

OEC International (TJM dealers in UK) are actually fabricating some (side steps with rock-sliders and powder coated) for a mate of mine with a new Triton so hopefully they'll start to manufacture them for retail.
