What are you doing for side steps? Stock pieces?

Default steps
Hey Jeff, was just thinking about you this morning and wondering how yours is coming ... still trapped at interior ???

Ok so using stock side runners (Aqualu steps) But its very high ... Likely going to use some custom drop down steps like Amp Research Bedstep2 so the boss can get up more easily

We are down to door panels, the final step. I've seen his design render and signed off on it, just need to gitterdunn...

Really like those steps!! I guess I missed those when I was trying to figure out mine. Went with a tubular setup and added an extra stirrup for the boss.
Your idea is a lot cleaner!!!!

Man I love this thing but when are you going to build the bike rack ??

On a side note now you have me considering the Amp Research side steps for my 4Runner as my factory’s nerf bars are rusting.

Thanks ya'll ... and sorry for the confusion, the lower half of the picture (grey 40) I cut and pasted under my new grey top to get a good ides of the colour combo

So everyone is up to date, BUT I believe she is going for paint this week to be painted Nardo grey

Cheers
