My friend and I decided after a trip to the California Desert and me nearly tearing off the factory side step on my 2003 that we were going to fab something simple and and able to hold up to the occasional rock or ? This is what we fabbed up and are nearly ready to test it out, still need to finalize the mounting.











Main bar is 2"x2" .120 wall steel and the rest is 1"x2" .120 wall steel.

We are thinking that some 1"x1" may find its way in there to prevent a rock from getting wedged in one of the openings. This setup seems cool so far because I can still use it as a step to washt the roof, lol.

So far only spent $90 in steel. ( I am not counting the money I spent on new tools to make this happen <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> )
