My modification of Fire and Ice style side step to fitt with Shingleback sill tanks...
We cut the original mounts off.
The front mounts with angle iron wielded ontop of the step and mounted to the front side of the body/chassis bolt.
The rear has a large “L” bracket mount to the body with 3 10mm bolts and curved internally to allow the tank to be fitted. The bar has a bracket wielded to it that mirrors the lower section of the “L” attached to the foward edge with 3 10mm bolts also.
This gave the strongest possible mounting we could come up with and gives clearance from the tank, the step is slightly foward from standard and is close to the same position width wise.
To remove the nut is removed from the body mount and 3 bolts from the rear mount, the bar then slides of the front mounting bolt. The “L” bracket remains on the vehicle as the only access to the mounting bolts is with the tank removed. Nyloc nut and large flat washers or plates fitted as appropriate.
Cheers Kyle
