Saturday's Job(s)
Changed the oil and binned the sidesteps!
  How do you think this would handle the Strata bombhole?   Now you see it...  ...now you don't!!   There's a light at the end of the tunnel   ABRA...  ...CADABRA   Foxy's cavernous backend *cough*

Gave the MAF a spray with contact cleaner as well, although it was practically pristine anyway (VERY pleased about that!)

Whats the problem with steps ?
OK got to ask why bin the steps ?
I think they do a good job of protecting the doors etc from mud & stuff. I also think they look cool & chunky ! |

'cause they continually get twatted by rocks and stuff when off road
 I've seen so many trucks stuck on a lump with the stupid things bent so it's hard to extract the truck off said lump. Bin 'em, lft it, go hard, sorted

 You can probably see in the pics that the rubber on the nearside step had already been partially stripped off from catching on rocks etc when offroading and the offside one was bent up against the sill by an impact when I did Strata (it has actually very slightly bent the panel over the sill). Also, you'd be surprised by how much mud was stuck between the steps and the sill. Protective factor is very very marginal and judging by how much they get caught when offroad I figured it was just a matter of time before they got ripped off or bent up into the sill properly (R1cho had his pushed straight through his sill by a rock impact  ).Also, I was continually catching the back of my leg on them when I got in or out of the Troll and although I thought they looked quite sexy when I bought the truck, I like the look of her a lot better without them! I'll be getting rock sliders fabbed and fitted before I go to Transylvania
