Problems Installing aftermarket sidesteps on Kluger 07-11 models

[Christine Whalley]

Hey guys, new to the forum and to the Kluger (absolutely loving it though!)

Just purchase an 08 Grande and then bought some aftermarket sidesteps from eBay ($200-bargain!)

I am having all sorts of problems trying to figure out how to get them to fit as it seems that despite what I was told I am going to need to drill my own holes (something I really do not want to do)

I have managed to source the instruction manual (*attached for your own info and anyone else looking for them) and was hoping someone could either shed some light on why I can't figure it out or recommend anyone in the north shore area (hornsby through to Chatswood, Ryde, Glebe... anywhere really) who can install them for me.

Thanks and I hope this thread helps someone else if not me :)

(I tried to upload the word doc and was told I am not permitted to upload this kind of file... what the? Sorry - let me know if you want it and I will send it directly to you)

Is this the Oznest one?

[Christine Whalley]

Yeah it is, and I have since successfully managed to install it.

Just had trouble locating the plugs that I needed to remove (they are well hidden under there)

Definitely a two man job but also quite straight forward once you locate the 4 holes required to attach said sidestep

Anyone needing advice feel free to hit me up.

Thanks
