Powerful 4x4 steps and scrub rails
« on: July 04, 2013, 08:29:38 AM »
I'm looking at buying a set of these as the OEM steps have seen better days. Anyone got them and thoughts both good and bad?
For the complete set they are $699 including freight. Pretty good price for this it seems.

Not saying it is the case here but from memory others have had fitment issues with brackets and holes not lining up, bullbars, side steps, roof racks.

I have a set of the side steps on my 08 patrol.
Yes they were a pain to fit due to the fuel tank, but overall I'm happy with them.
They are very strong, I have dropped the full weight of the patrol on it a few times and all good.

The biggest negative is that I should have taken the tread plate off and used double sided tape and better bolts and nuts to re fit it. I will get there eventually though.

You can find the exact same steps on eBay for under $400, they are the powerful 4x4 eBay shop.

For the money definitely worth while
