We’ve noticed that the modern AWD Sprinters sit high enough off the deck that simply jumping in and out of the cabin feels like a full-body workout by the end of the day. We stock these White Top Adventures Side Steps because they are the most cost-effective way to bridge that height gap while adding a rugged, protective, \"armored\" look to your rocker panels. Built with industrial dimpled traction plates and heavy-duty square tubing, they provide an unyielding platform for your boots whether you are dealing with campsite mud, mountain snow, or coastal rain. \u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/41qxd6.share-na2.hsforms.com\/29bufDkHjQ5aTe0D_9wWVQA\" class=\"ng-star-inserted\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAsk Us Product Questions Anytime\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e if you have a passenger van with rear heat\/AC—we can help you map out the brackets before you spin a wrench!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWCV EXPERT TIP:\u003c\/b\u003e If you are upgrading a 2019+ Sprinter with Active Brake Assist or auxiliary under-body sensor modules located near the frame rails, take your time during the mock-up phase.

Unlike cheap steel running boards that start rusting and bleeding orange streaks onto your van's white paint after a single season, these steps are built from high-grade aluminum and pre-treated with a zinc-rich primer. They are chemically incapable of rusting, making them ideal for coastal and winter road environments.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"41\"\u003eQ: Do I need to weld onto the frame or drill new holes to complete this installation?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"42\"\u003eA: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"42\" data-index-in-node=\"3\"\u003eNo, this is a 100% bolt-on DIY project. The mounting plates align perfectly with existing structural frame paths beneath the Sprinter rocker panel. While you can easily install these over a weekend using basic hand tools, we highly recommend using a second set of hands or a couple of jack stands to safely balance the bars while you catch the first few bolts.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"43\"\u003eQ: Are these steps clearanced to work with the newer 2023+ AWD Sprinter factory suspension?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"44\"\u003eA: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"44\" data-index-in-node=\"3\"\u003eYes, they are highly recommended for the 2023+ AWD platform. Because the factory AWD models leave the dealership with a significantly taller ride height than older 2WD lines, these side boards provide the perfect intermediate stepping plane to save your knees and hips every time you exit the vehicle.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"45\"\u003eQ: Why is the driver-side step noticeably shorter than the passenger-side running board?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"46\"\u003eA: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"46\" data-index-in-node=\"3\"\u003eThat is a purposeful design feature. The passenger-side step is long to maximize safety across the wide sliding door opening. The driver-side step is shortened to clear the rear quarter panel, leaving a clean, unobstructed footprint to install an exterior side-mount ladder, utility box, or vertical surfboard track system without cutting the steps.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"48\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"48\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWHY TRUST WEST COAST VANS?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"49\"\u003eEvery product we sell is vetted and installed daily by our team of builders in our San Clemente shop.

Standard high-roof utility vehicles ride high off the pavement, forcing you, your passengers, and your pets to awkwardly vault into the cabin. Most generic aftermarket running boards either hang far too low—drastically ruining your off-road ground clearance and catching on rocks—or they rely on flimsy thin-walled steel tubes that flex underfoot and bleed rust stains onto your rocker panels. We believe your entry steps should be rock-solid, incredibly light, and engineered with multi-functional trail utility. Enter the Sandy Vans Sprinter Side Steps (2008+)—the ultimate balance of sleek cabin accessibility and rugged exterior armor. Precision-fabricated from high-strength structural aluminum, this premium step package provides a wide, slip-resistant staging platform that hugs your unibody pinch welds perfectly, delivering a ultra-clean look without sacrificing an inch of trail capability.

Pro Tip: If your rig is equipped with an optional factory engine block heater, its exterior junction plug sits directly in the path of the forward driver-side mounting arm. You will need to easily unbolt and relocate this small bracket slightly inward along the inner frame rail to clear the step's structural support brace (see our product reference photos for exact routing placement). Additionally, because these steps mount tightly along the structural unibody pinch welds, take a few minutes to clean away any caked-on trail mud or factory undercoating overspray from the sheet metal seam before tightening the high-tensile hardware. This ensures perfectly square alignment and a solid, metal-on-metal torque lock that won't shift over rough washboard roads!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePRODUCT OVERVIEW\u003c\/b\u003e The Sandy Vans Sprinter Side Steps are premium, commercial-grade exterior accessibility modules built for van lifers, remote overlanders, and custom builders who demand elite utility.

Arriving as a comprehensive passenger and driver-side pair complete with all high-tensile mounting hardware, this system features rugged 3\/16-inch thick step plating. Even better, it includes integrated 2-inch accessory ports that allow you to route exterior shore power connections, onboard air compressor inlets, or water tank fill locks directly through the step frame itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBEST FOR\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e• DOG-LOVING ADVENTURERS: Specially engineered with a completely solid, punched-aluminum step plate directly in front of the sliding door, ensuring your furry friends can scramble inside safely without catching a claw or nail in open grate holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e• OVERLAND OUTLAND TRAVEERS: Ideal for builders who need reliable cabin access but refuse to run low-hanging running boards that compromise critical breakover angles or off-road ground clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e• MULTI-UTILITY CODESMALL PACKERS: Perfect for creators who want to neatly hide exterior plumbing or electrical ports by utilizing the built-in 2-inch frame accessory holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e• CABIN TRANSIT PROFILE: Low-profile, high-clearance aluminum exterior side steps and nerf bar package (Pair)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e• SUBSTRATE STEP MATERIAL: High-strength, lightweight rust-free structural aluminum alloy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e• REINFORCEMENT PLATING METRIC: 3\/16-inch thick heavy-duty step landing pads\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e• COATING ARMOR PROTECTION: Multi-stage, scratch-resistant industrial black textured powder coat finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e• FOOT STEP WORKING WIDTH: Flat, high-traction step pad measuring approximately 6.5 Inches wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e• BASE ACCESSORY PORT MATRIX: (2) Integrated 2-inch utility holes per side for mounting air inlets, power inlets, or water fills\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e• RIDE HEIGHT CALIBRATION: Ground-to-step pad drop is ~13.5 inches; step-pad-to-slider-threshold drop is ~10 inches (varies by suspension)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e• BOUNDARY STRUCTURAL ALIGNMENT: Precision form-fitted to lock tight against the factory unibody pinch weld seam\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003e• COMPONENT PACKAGE INCLUSIONS: (1) Complete Driver-Side Step, (1) Complete Passenger-Side Step, and high-tensile hardware pack\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e• DOMESTIC SHIPPING BONUS: Free shipping tier included to all destinations within the lower 48 US states\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVEHICLE FITMENT DIRECTORY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003eThis premium aluminum side step network features an exact-fit unibody mounting configuration designed explicitly for modern commercial van chassis layouts.

They are not designed to act as heavy-duty steel rock sliders and should not be used to slide the vehicle over boulders or support its full weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"37\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"37\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eQ: Can I mount my onboard air compressor line or shore power plug directly into these steps?\u003c\/b\u003e A: Yes, absolutely! One of the coolest design elements Sandy Vans integrated into these bars is a pair of built-in 2-inch accessory holes. This allows you to mount a remote air chuck for airing up tires, a shore power port, or an external fresh water fill line directly inside the step frame for quick, clean trackside utility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"38\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"38\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eQ: Why are these side steps described as \"dog friendly\"?\u003c\/b\u003e A: Standard aftermarket running boards often use aggressive cheese-grater style mesh or wide diamond cutouts to shed mud. While great for boots, these open holes are notorious for catching, snagging, and ripping out dog claws when your pets jump inside. Sandy Vans solves this layout hazard by using a completely solid aluminum plate layout in front of the sliding door so your dogs can step inside safely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"39\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"39\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eQ: Do I need to drill massive holes into my chassis frame rails to install this kit?\u003c\/b\u003e A: No. These aluminum side steps are explicitly engineered to align with your van's existing unibody geometry, mounting cleanly against the pinch welds with minimal tool work. The only exception is if your vehicle has the optional factory engine block heater box on the driver's side rail; you will simply need to unbolt and relocate that small housing slightly out of the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"40\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"40\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWHY TRUST WEST COAST VANS?\u003c\/b\u003e Every product we sell is vetted by our team of builders in our San Clemente shop.

When you are looking down at your passenger-side frame rail to install running boards, standard straight support brackets expect a completely clear, empty channel. However, if your van rolled off the assembly line with both rear climate control packages, that straight steel path is blocked. Pro Tip: Do not attempt to force, shim, or bend standard brackets to clear these vital auxiliary components.

This isn't a mass-produced, thin-gauge nerf bar; these steps are masterfully TIG-welded by skilled European metal artisans out of premium structural aluminum and paired with rock-solid metal mounting brackets. Tucked exceptionally high and tight to your rocker panels to maximize your breakover angle, they provide a continuous, high-traction stepping surface that is completely pet-friendly while safely clearing underneath storage tanks.

Pro Tip: Most heavy tubular steel steps extend too far inward beneath the chassis, which completely blocks your ability to mount vital off-grid support systems. Because Rover Vans engineered these steps explicitly for camper conversions, their streamlined, high-and-tight geometry leaves the under-chassis belly entirely open. This makes them fully compatible with underslung fresh\/gray water tanks and custom side-mount utility ladders, making it effortless to dial in your mechanical layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePRODUCT OVERVIEW\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eThe Rover Vans Sprinter Adventure Side Steps are an exterior accessibility and cabin optimization system built explicitly for Mercedes Sprinter and Winnebago Revel platforms.

The drop step bridges the massive floor-to-ground gap beautifully, making it effortless for shorter passengers or kids to climb inside.

The 2-inch Drop Step features a lowered step section that provides a much easier climb inside, making it ideal for heavily lifted or family-hauling rigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"27\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"27\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eQ: Will these side steps rust if I live in a coastal area or drive on salted winter roads?\u003c\/b\u003e A: Not at all. Avatar Off-road constructs the entire Rockbody assembly out of high-grade structural aluminum, which is naturally immune to rust. Combined with the heavy-duty black Duralined protective coating, these steps are fully armored against harsh winter salt and coastal marine air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"28\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"28\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eQ: Do these steps use low-hanging brackets that could get hung up on rocks when off-road traveling?\u003c\/b\u003e A: No, and that is a massive engineering benefit. Traditional running boards use bulky underside brackets that act as plows off-road. The Rockbody steps utilize a specialized bracket-free mounting interface that keeps the entire assembly tucked tight against the van's chassis to eliminate snag points completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"29\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"29\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eQ: Can I install these steps myself in my driveway, and is drilling required?\u003c\/b\u003e A: Yes, this is a popular DIY project that can be performed with standard hand tools and a power drill. The kit arrives complete with premium installation hardware and frame anchors. Because this step serves as a structural rock slider, drilling into the vehicle's reinforced frame sections is required to ensure maximum impact resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"30\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"30\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWHY TRUST WEST COAST VANS?\u003c\/b\u003e Every product we sell is vetted by our team of builders in our San Clemente shop.
