Having fun again

So this weekend I helped my fiancee take the rest of the running boards off his truck. I still had a ton of fun, I enjoyed being under that truck. I have so much fun work with him. Nothing is better then working with the person you love and a toy you enjoy being around. I love working on the truck with my fiancee as much as possible. I also bought a new hitch cover for his truck and the ford sign on it lights up. It really cool, know I am looking for something else to get his truck.

What was the reasoning for taking the running boards off? Did you replace them with different ones? I thought about taking mine off.

His is getting new ones on. He also wants to get bottom repainted. He is putting on ranch hand steps.

I took mine off all the way with the help of a tree stump several years ago. Put them back on with new brackets from an '03. Then tried to tear my achellis by riding on the board last winter after a dig out and to get another SD unstuck. Now my boards are passed on to another SD owner. Never again to be reattached as long as I own the truck.

My dad had some of them cheapo-tube aluminum variety running boards...those things are dangerous as hell when its wet or icy out. I decided to go with the hoop style steps, I find them to be much safer.

I'm thinking of those AMP Research steps, but not sure if they will clear my air horn tank.
