Hardware Kit Options

Specific hardware kits are available depending on whether you are fitting original equipment manufacturer (OEM) running boards, standalone aftermarket side steps, or specialized rock sliders like the “Rockmeister”.

Kit Type	Description	Compatibility Note
OEM Running Board Kit	Contains the necessary brackets and M10 hardware to install genuine Mercedes running boards.	Designed for use with original factory running boards.
Rock Slider Kit	Specific brackets designed to install a rock slider (e.g., Rockmeister) which typically offer more robust chassis mounting points.	Allows for the later addition of running boards on top of the slider.
Stand-Alone Kit	Includes brackets for installing aftermarket side steps that do not have the integrated modular design of rock sliders.	For use when a rock slider base is not present or required.

Where to Purchase

Specialist Retailers: Online stores such as gwagonauthenticpartjunction.eu and Nakatanenga 4×4-Equipment offer specific retrofit kits with all necessary plates and bolts.
Online Marketplaces: eBay UK is a good source for both genuine used hardware and new aftermarket kits from various sellers.
Mercedes-Benz Dealers: You may be able to order genuine OEM mounting kits directly from a local Mercedes-Benz parts department, using the vehicle’s VIN to ensure correctness.

Note for W460/W461 Models: If you are installing these on an older W460 or W461 SWB model, an additional rocker panel upgrade kit might be necessary, which includes weld-on nut-plates to create the required mounting points.
