Hey
Just had the very unpleasant experience of fitting the black steel side steps on my dual vcab mq.
The reason i installed and not the dealer is they couldnt get to it for about a month so i took the initiative and hooked in.
Getting the factory ones off was easy. Thats where it stopped.
The steel ones mount to the chassis rail and low and behd the chassis rail has brakelines and hydraulic lines attached. The c clamps are very hard to get under and over these rails. I had removed holders of lines and slightly lever up the metal lines.
Then the fun started. The arms that attached to the chassis and lie flush with them were to high and hit the rib flooring of the vehicle even with the spacers included. So this meant grinding and hacks
Sawing the brackets to fit etc etc
Trust me get someone else to do it. But if you do decided to do it let me know, im an expert!
