    Yes, those are repops. The originals have the diamonds like you stated and the side brackets are spot welded instead of bolted.

    The Omix repops are only $28/ea, so someone definitely overpaid for those at $90.

    Seller listed them as takeoffs, so that definitely suckered people in.

    Yep, and much like every "Juan-apino" part they make, the holes are in the wrong spot on the rear support bracket. The way they cut the holes, the bracket is kicked off to one side, not at a 90* angle to the step. It will not bolt up on the frame like that
