CJ-2A Diamond Side Steps

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am looking for some detailed pictures of diamond side steps (Original Equipment) installed on a CJ-2A.   From the pictures I have of our family Jeep before the frame of installation where the restorer removed and pitched the original steps we had, I see a small bold in the body.  So I am thinking I need to drill a hole in the body, but would prefer to only do that once and correctly.  I am new to the forum and have not been able to find "Installed detailed picture" but they may already exist.  If so, please just provide directions.

	Back in August I installed a repro diamond step on my CJ2A. Here is a link to my post about it. https://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/repro-side-step-installation_topic45236.html I'll caution you that the repro steps are for a CJ5 (I believe). They need to be modified to work on a CJ2A. My post is explains how to do it.

	Chief, I did almost the same thing you did. Except I restored a beaten up original set only to find they were for a CJ5. Going to have to put them on eBay since I don't want to cut up originals. It appears that one seller does have the correct ones: https://www.ebay.com/itm/CJ2A-CJ3A-M38A1-CJ3B-CJ5-CJ6-Side-Step-Kit-Pair-Jeep-ORIGINAL-DIAMOND-PATTERN/183584258458?hash=item2abe79799a:g:biYAAOSwAzZbO4gs I spend way too much time looking for CJ2A stuff on eBay. Every once in a while I find a nugget. Micah

	Those do look nice, but kinda pricey too. But it saves a lot of work. I'm satisfied with mine.
