hi everyone , just a question you may be able to help me with, i have a 2005 , 3.0 ltr diesal 4x4 ute with a canopy, do running boards of a duel cab fit on the utes, eg. do all the holes line up on the chassis: or do you have to mod them ,or a they a straight fit??? thanks :cheers!:

Is yours a twin cab.If it is a twin cab they do but they mount to the body of the car not the chassis.You could look at putting a set of sliders on it.

pretty sure the factory dual cab steps have three mounts per side, but also have a mounting plate which also connects to the floor of the cab (not to the chassis)

So, when you take the factory ones off, fill up the holes before yu go thru a creek

Scotty has been making some great looking kit

Definitely do this! I used some bolts with massive washers and a heap of sikaflex to seal up the massive holes in the cab after I pulled pup my side steps.

I still have my steps if you need new ones?
