Default Go Rhino Universal step

Just got the black ones
http://gorhino.com/universal-step/universalstep.html

curious if anyone has installed these. There arent any pre designated holes like they have for the longer ones. Any suggestions, advice or pictures would be great before i start drilling away Thanks!

I had a set like that on my old 2nd gen. Had to drill special holes to get it to work. Don't know if you would for a 3rd gen but I would be prepared to.

my go rhino steps bolt to the body. where the pinch bolts are. and they also have selftapping screws that fasten up under on the body. they are suprizingly strong.

you might be surprised to see how many different steps fasten that way. i was looking at my buddies furd250 running boards and they fasten almost exactly the same way.

I have these steps. They had to drill something like 64 holes on each side for them to go on.. They're sturdy though.
