I bought new step pads for my rear bumper (Arizona Beige), upper and lower.
The original pieces were starting to show their age, as in fading.

The new pieces have prongs about 1" long that simply snap tightly into rectangular holes on the bumper.

Is it in fact this simple? Pop the old pieces off.... and snap in the new?

 

Yup, pretty much. Might wanna put something lube around the holes to help them snap in.

 

Hey Sherriff where'd you get 'em and did you get a good deal? Mine are lookin kinda aged too.

 

The lube is a pretty good thought. THANKS!

I ordered the parts online, $124.96, which included shipping. Varsity Ford Parts, Ann Arbor Michigan. It included the wide top step pad, the smaller lower step pad, and the circle to snap in where a trailer ball can be mounted on the bumper. Good service, fast shipping.
