Manly steps

Sweety · 14-05-2014, 21:11

Well my manly side steps died & from just road use

so had no option other than take them off which TBH makes it much easier for me to get in & out but think i'll need to start carrying the step again for my wife when her back is playing up

I'm sure someone was after 1 or 2 end caps for their side steps so if you still need it/them then just PM me & I can get them into the post for you

Anyway before

And after

Just got the front mud flaps to trim back now & might remove the rears like I did on my SWB

What was wrong with them? my driverside one was loose, held with some blobs of silicone and one bolt. I cut remains of the old bolts, drilled through and used coach bolts. Nice and solid steps.

The back & middle bolts that hold the alloy steps onto the brackets had nothing to grip to as the alloy was missing around them

wouldn't of cared but they were fine last week. I thought i'd have the pleasure of ripping them off when I go off road

I took mine off last weekend, had previously tried to use metal filler to hold the aluminum steps to the steel brackets which lasted until i went off road.
Anyway they are tucked neatly behind the shed now, cant belive how much quieter the truck is now without all the rattling.
