I jumped into my 2000 4x4 today and the running board felt different. I reached under and grabbed a handful of rusted running board!
Gee! I must be .20 cents ahead!.
I'll grab 4 milk crates and put them at the doors for people to use to get in and out!
Tie some rope on "em..get in, pull'em in!

 

That sucks. Do you live in a land of salted roads?

 

I have a pair off my truck you can have cheap if they would work. U ever come north at all?

 

Mine are the same way. I live in Michigan. How much do u want for them?

 

Welcome to the the salted road gang .

 

I live on Cape Cod at the Canal. I have "lost" quite a few beautiful old, one owner, specialty vehicles living here! The last was my perfect two tone blue extra-cab 4x4 8' bed XLT Lariat 1990 F250 SD. Every time I shut the door huge chuncks would fall at my feet!
Under 90,000 miles when it was sold. We pulled our 1990 21' Nomad all over the east coast with that truck. I think the truck was 1 foot longer than the trailer was! Truck would not turn! Huge turning circle!
The truck got about 7.5 MPG with or with the trailer! 4 speed auto w/electric o/d.
I guess I'll check out some Westin tubes.
I'm open to suggestions for the running board lights!

 

Not too much, they are not perfect. Shipping might be a dealbreaker tho.... No idea where I could get a box to ship them in. If you really are interested, send me a PM and I'll give you the details/pics.

 

Thats why my sh&t stays in the garage and I drive a POS in the winter.


I agree on the part that you hinted of ford cheaping out on rust proofing. Its sad.

 

Never mind that I have about 50 bikes in my garage...I don't think that the Ex would fit anyhow!
