My wife has a disability and has a hard time getting up in the truck. Once the lift and bigger tires are on it will be essential that the step is there for her. They do fold up underneath the truck when the truck is off road though so ground clearance is not affected.

Didn't know there had to be a definite point to posting up picks of your X....
Actually, I was responding to Scott4444 asking about updates and pics in another thread.

Truck looks good in a Rat-X sort of way. (love rat bikes too)
Bumper is beefy and looks good with the "paint" scheme.
Certainly don't need a point to post pics of your ride. Keep on, keeping on.
I thought you were having problems with the lift due to Canadian restrictions. Did you get that sorted out?
Looks sweet.
Take care.

The point is that this is an Ex forum and we share what we got.
Looks great, love the liner/paint job! We can tell you have put MANY hours into your Ex. Can't wait to see the pics when the lift and tires get on. Keep us posted and thanks for the update.

I'm not taking any chances though, so I'm using Ford parts to do my lift and not aftermarket. The regulation bans non OEM suspension parts....
Nick, sorry for misunderstanding your question... I have a cottage up in the mountains here and the road is getting worse and worse each year. This was undertaken to ensure we are able to get up to the camp.....
It was either spend thousands of $ on fixing the road which isn't mine, or investing in the X to make her capable of git'n 'er done
