Hey all, I just put my new ARB side steps on my D40.

Thanks guys there pretty tough too.. A mate has them on his ute, and dropped a wheel down a 1 mtr ditch, the car come to rest on the side steps.. Didn't even budge..

That looks good! Do they bolt onto the chassis or the sills? How much did that set you back?

Hey mate. They bolt on the Chasis, with caged nuts, so there no Drilling into the chassis which is cool.. The middle has U Bolts that go around the Chassis also..


They were around 700 mark.. But i figure it's worth it to protect the sills and panels..

Awesome, do you happen to have a photo of the mounts? I asked our local ARB a couple of months back and they said the steps bolted onto the factory points. Might have to ask them again.

Sure has mate. Actually, where that scrape is, was where the Original Side Steps, poped off, when it rested on it's belly going over a ridge..

Looks good black on black.

Just got to be careful not to knock the mounting brackets in the middle they bend really easy when you do like mine did

These side steps are awesome for a bolt on accessory. Even better when you get them at a 4x4 show and get the discount
They do NOT bolt onto the factory mounts for the flimsy alum units from Nissan. Chassis mounts only.

Too true, same they need to clamp around the chassis and hang so low

Buy them to use them, or leave it in the shed
