solid snake Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I'm thinking of fabing some step bars and paint them blue, the mounts will be made to fit specific parts of the chasis. Here's a picture of what they look like. Since I don't have any tools to accomplish this, I'm going to have to come up with measurements and go to a shop.

94extreme Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 are these for wheeling or for looks? if for wheeling i wouldn't do those steps as they'll only keep getting you hanged up a bunch. i'd also make them stick out past the body more; at least 4" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solid snake Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 I was thinking for looks. I'm planning on installing the trailmaster lift kit, so that would currently give me about 5" and 4 1/2". I'm pretty sure I can clear what I wheel in though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 past the body not that much below it necessarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solid snake Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 past the body not that much below it necessarily. Yeah, I think that would be a good idea. I was planning on purchasing nerf barfs, but sh#t? I don't want to spend that much money, so I just decided to make my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSM_guy Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 solid, go the easier route and have a large "hoop" bent that runs the entire length of the main tube. then you can use them as both feelers/sliders and as step bars. if you ever go wheeling you wont be getting hung up, and you wont ever have to redo them because you "wish you woulda gone a different route". much better than to not need it and have it, than not have it and need it. thats my entire philosophy on my truck. i sure dont do any hardcore wheeling, and its not like i NEEDED hell for stout bumpers and sliders all around, but i figured since i have the time and money (and free materials!) id overbuild past what id ever need.

SC88Pathy Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I got this idea from Four Wheeler: take a length of chain. Weld chain to frame. Weld several links of the chain together at the bottom. TA DA! Now you have a step/stirrup that won't get hung up on obstacles (well at least not as easily as solid steps) and look unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
