I like the IBOARD steps. I was thinking something like these from Carr. What do you think?

I have the Carr Hoop too, and I hate them. The truck is 2WD, so you don't really need the step anyways. It makes crawling under the truck a pain too. They are bolted to the rocker panel; which makes removing them problematic. Unless you know of a way to fill the empty bolt holes.

I got these aluminum strips from HD and cut them and drilled new holes for the carriage bolts. I JB welded the step holes from the bottom. Put the Ford ovals on them from the JY.

I agree with you that they may make getting under the truck a pain. Not sure about removing them and filling holes. But, I can tell you I do need the steps to get in and out. Age, problems with knees an hips, being short, etc. make it difficult to get in and out of my truck. I need to get running boards or something for my wife's 4Runner soon too.

[QUOTE=Glenn54;17330889]. Not sure about removing them and filling holes.
Glenn, Don't know if you caught it but I did that aluminum piece in my pic above to take care of where mine were drilled and mounted. Also, they were in the way for me when working under the truck. |

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4220/...842fa29c_k.jpg These are mounted much differently from the ones on the cab, and are much, much sturdier. I like having these steps, but I cringe at watching the rocker panels flex when I use them, and I only weigh about 170. |

Got the new ARE Cover put on yesterday and had the windows tinted. I really like the cover. The color match was great. I think I need to adjust the cover slightly but that shouldn't be a big deal.
A cat walked on it last night and that is going to be a problem. |
Lots of thoughts have crossed my mind. Believe me.

How did you manage to mount the rear ones? I guess the front ones really have no more bolstering than the rear. The fronts fit in that channel under the rocker box, but that doesn't provide much.

Do not shoot the f'in cat.
Figure out a non-lethal way. Savages. |

The chrome steps came with the truck. I don't really like them. I'd like something like aluminum or painted steps. My rear slider was shot when I got the truck so I opted to get a solid window. I think it was between 150 and 200 installed. Now that it's tinted, it looks much better. My 3rd brake like had shorted out and partially melted. The new LED was one of the only lights I could find. I looked hard at several different covers and decided to go with ARE. I think I made the right choice for me.
