ABSTRACT:
An improved side step for motor vehicles designed to mount to tubular side bars. The step includes a mounting insert for placement within the tubular side bars and having structure for attaching the step thereto. The mounting insert fits within an elongated aperture in the tubular side bar, the aperture having a width smaller than the width of the insert. The insert includes a plurality of apertures within which locking members extending downward from the step are secured. The step also includes a pair of end tabs for securing the longitudinal ends of the step under the edge of the aperture in the tubular side bar. The step is provided with a preferred grid of ribs and channels to reduce the amount of material required while providing adequate strength for the step. In one embodiment, the step curves partly around a bend in the tubular side bar.
