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.
