  • Side steps

    Hey what's TJM side steps like and prices? I bought some Ironman ones yesterday and they are garbage (returning Monday)! Had a bold snap in my chassis and bent washers, struggle to get handbrake line over them as no channel at all made to suit. And rounded a bolt head doing it up, they are cheap and nasty not even high tensile like they say

    And what's the best way to remove snapped bolts in the chassis?

    Cant help on the side steps, however bolt grade should be stamped on the head of the bolts. ie... 4.8 - 8.8 - 10.9, anything under 8.8 is considered soft.
    are you using the correct socket ??
    if you have a grinder easiest way to remove rounded bolts is cut two straights so a AFS - shifter will be able to grab on. or if you have access to a welder put a handle on it.
    to remove some bolts snapped in, Easy-outs - are probably your best bet, just take your time and you will be right.

      Hi peter .. Make depends on where you are planning to use vehicle imo. I've got set of Kingsley step boards. Lucky I got a brand new set unopened off Gumtree for $300.. Normal retail from ARB or TJM about $675. Took me about 60 mins to install including removing crappy plastic OEM side steps.

      These aren't the flashiest or heaviest duty you can buy, but at the price I got them for, I'm pretty happy. Look good too.

      Found loose electrical connection underneath in middle of side steps. OEM steps have a clip for the connection. Kingsley stepboards don't. Contacted Kingsley direct and they were really helpful. Turns out the blanked off connection is for some under vehicle lighting on the Kakadu that is not used on other models.

        I have them and they are going well. Ring ratchets will help with install if doing by hand.

          I have tjm sidesteps. Didn't like the polished alloy look so had them powder coated black which helped round off the sharp edge from the machined cut. Price usually between $550-700.

            The only problem is the aluminium chequer plate is guillotined and the edge is quite sharp. I ran a file along the edge. Otherwise very good product.

                new TJM 150 side steps are quite different with 120's, using much thinner steel plate to form H shape structure, not directly bolted onto chassis, and lighter in weight. Give me less confidence if have to compare with the 2.
                Bought one pair recently paid $780 exclude fitting.
