Anyway to install these via the shortcut method? They have horizontal and vertical mounting holes. They are from house of Vulkan. I really don’t want to have to take any trim off I wonder if I can cut off the the vertical mounting holes and just use the other two mounting holes like the ones in the shortcut instructions?

Are the aftermarket brackets steel or aluminum? The ones I have are aluminum so makes me nervous about cutting off the vertical part. I’m guessing the ones with only the horizontal mounting are made of steel

Really what the important thing you found was an install guide with measurements for any aftermarket or oem or oem knockoff defender side step installation. An installation that does not require taking off all the panels and that gives the proper measurements for cutting from the outside. I have linked the guides for the 90 and 110 below

I got steps from Lucky8 for my 90 and really don't want to rip off all that trim....

l fitted OE side steps and didn't bother with the smaller bolts on the side of the brackets, l figured they would be just fine with the main bolts installed.
This means you don't have to pull off all the plastic trim. Although you do still need to make 4 small holes in the plastic under tray to fit the brackets this is quite easy to do.
