lets build some steps!1/13/2019 So the flares interfere with the rubber arches for the running boards. I dont want to hack them up (id rather keep them unmolested), so that means i need to build something else to replace them. This is a set of steps i built for a buddy years ago, for his quad cab. He no longer has a use for them, so i got them back. They wont work for a short bronco, but the material is salvageable. Cutting them up: Ok, now the correct length, and notches cut/boxed to clear the front fender bolt: The rough idea, same as what everyone else does. You can see i was working on these while fixing the fender The difference is im going to add a step on the side, to make it easier to get the little guy in/out of his car seat. Mock-up with some scrap to get ideas: Building legs: capped the ends Fleshing out the step: Legs done! Building the steps Rock sliders! Mocking up the step: Drilling holes. The steps will be removable, "just in case" it ends up at Rausch Creek Sleeving the holes with tube, so i dont have to worry about getting water inside the rail All done and ground flush Steps done! Using carriage bolts, so it only takes one wrench to install/remove. Comments are closed.
