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:

​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.
