Hey All:

My wife complains about the gap between the 2 U-steps as she exits the vehicle. It seems to be just where she wants to first place her foot.

Any suggestions/ideas about bridging this gap with a plate or something?

Hey Phil:

Thanks for nothin! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

I haven't had that problem either, but I think it happens when you can't fully open the door like in a tight parking situation and in the garage. This is my wife...the only modifications here will be to the truck! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

If it were me, I'd just remove them all together.

Hey Phil:

Thanks for the plate suggestion, that's what I've been thinking of. Oh yeah, or bring the whole truck down to 1" off the ground, then I wouldn't need steps at all, and Tim could throw them away for me! :-)


Hey Seth...."Bling" as in 'knocked off' like a license plate? :-)

Hey Seth:

That's funny!

Are you sure your name isn't "Red", as in "Green" http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

When I come down in Dec., I think we should drag some rakes behind your H2 thru that Devil's Den mud hole and see if we can fish up some aluminum plating....that would look better/last longer than a 2X4. :-) http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Seriously though....I had my Dad cut out about a 6" x 9" 1/4" AL plate, which I will paint black, place on tread grip tape, then duct tape...I mean bolt, the plate to the top side of each U-step. I'll post a pic when done.

What a guy won't do for his wife! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Hey Seth:

The U-Steps are the best in my opinion...easy off/easy on.

I will take a pick of my final patch job and post it soon.

That's cool. I would have used the removal process that Blake did for them, but that's me.
