    TJM Side Steps '11-'13 Models

    Hi Forum Members...and if your not...join....it's free !!!,
    Has anybody with an '11-'13 Model fitted TJM Side Steps to their bus and if so could you confirm the part number ???
    Reason:
    TJM has a Sale on currently BUT the part Specs state for 7/13 models onwards.
    A call to TJM had the outlet stating TJM DO NOT make...or have discontinued making...side steps to suit the '11-'13 Models(so the 7/13 is the biuld date for MY14 ???)
    Opinion based on limited knowledge:
    To my knowledge there is no chassis or body changes, (kick panels/side panels) from '11-'21 ?????
    All other brand Sites state their advertised steps fit '11-'21.
    Unsure if the TJM Steps are 'fitted' differently...they appear to bolt into fittings in front of rear wheel arch and behind front wheel arch...going by the TJM Site pix for the product.
    Other products I've googled appear to be 'fastened' under the car using various mount types.
    I have not looked at how the 'dearer' end of the market products...Chief/Off Road Animal...mount their products BUT they also state...to suit '11-'21 models....soooooooo.....
    Any input would be greatly appreciated.
    ​​​​​​Cheers.

    Stop looking....I found a post here by J55pster in 2017 about this exact topic...the TJM Side Steps fitted his 2012 with ease...no extra fab work or extra mounts needed.
    He had the exact answer from TJM and talks about everything mentioned in my first post. He fitted them himself in an afternoon using only what TJM supplied in the pack....which also stated 7/13 onwards...his is a 2012.
    Done.... I'll order...actually re-order as the order was cancelled after the call to TJM...the steps asap before the sale ends....like the flat sealed bottom and they fit into the factory bolt holes and provisions....perfect...sold !!!

      From the J55Ster post Oct 2017:

      Looked around at different options for side steps. I liked the Mopar and Uneek rock rails but price ruled out both of these.

      The TJM ones has about the same RRP as Uneek, but I got a bit of discount which made the TJM really good value for money.

      According to the TJM website their side steps are for 2014+ WK2s. After looking at various other steps marketed for 2011-2017, and talking to the TJM salesmen they agreed that it should probably fit a 2012. I decided to take the plunge and ordered a set.

      I picked them up today and fitted them earlier tonight. Pretty easy job, hardest part was taking the plastic sills off without breaking the clips. The TJM steps use the factory mounting holes and require no extra drilling of holes or other modifications. There's metal tabs that hook into the rectangular holes on the side of the body, and three bolts mounting from the bottom into chassis rail as well as three bolting through the pinch weld.
      End of extract.

      Thank you Forum....another winner !!!
