Hi All

Brilliant that's good spec, 53k is barely worn in yet!!!

Hows the underside looking that's the killer question?

And if you are feeling open, how much did you pay?

Looks tidy. Loving the green

Looks like it had some welding done but otherwise good, bit of bubbling on front wheel arches and it was £1850 with a full mot....is that a good price?

Ooooor, just go down a really harsh lane and they may come off by themselves

Have a good look underneath too, mine were actually rusted through!! If the mother in law had put her foot on it when it gave way id be in real trouble

Nice truck mate, you get what you pay for, you could have bought one for less than a grand but not with that sort of mileage and the notorious wings look good too, its only just run in, and FSH has got to be worth something!!

Alex, they are a different type to the later steps. These are thick stailess tubing with alloy plates on them. Often the bolts rot out of the plates, if it happens just drill and bolt job done.

Leave them man steps alone

I've just put mine on
