Hey again,

I ordered a pair of sidesteps and figured I'd install them myself being that it doesn't require much intensive labor.
Has anyone self installed these? I seen the pre-drilled threaded holes on the frame and figured it couldn't be too time consuming.
Comments appreciated.;)

Haven't installed any but I took them off. Took maybe 10 minutes max and it only took that long because they were so tight when installed at the dealer.

Awesome, Now I really look forward to installing them, and I'm sure the wife will love the fact that I won't be throwing the F-Bomb thru the neighborhood come Saturday .:D

They come with 4 bolts but I just use two and never have had a problem - that makes it about 5 minutes total time.

The UCP took about an hour for me to install - the hardest part is getting under there and holding it up. It gets heavy. Two people can do it much faster.

I will have to take a picture later - nothing special just OEM UCP. Bolt on.
