Re: My first Hummer
First observation by wingn69 ?I also noticed it been wheeled step rail brackets are bent, not that i havent done that to mine, both sides.lol?
Second observation by chizel ?The brackets that hold the tube steps are angling back toward the rear tire. Happened to both of mine going over stumps in a clear cut area.?
Owner wondering what the first two are seeing, bchas92097 ?Thanks to everyone that had commented I dont know what he is seeing but I have a buddy and his steps look the same as mine I am not saying that they are not bent but they look the same as another hummer but you may know more about it than me I am a newbie.?
Third observation but first made by Devis1957 ?They are definitely bent back from stock...............?
Forth observation and second made by Devis1957 ?They're bent back, no matter the angle. Maybe they are aftermarket support brackets??? The chrome step tube on mine is slightly forward of the rock guard on the front end, this one is not.
Not beating up on the new truck bchas92097 but, after two comments saying it looks as they are bent back and then you questioning it and then Devis1957 saying that they look bent back and uses what he sees on his own truck and from me looking at other trucks on the interweb with the tube steps I got to say that they do look bent towards the rear. I even went as far as saving the pic on my computer and used Photoshop to take a lot closer look at it and the brackets do look bent back. It is no big deal but just an observation and after you asked "I just pick this up and was wondering what you guys think about it let me know" thoughts were given.
Now, again, this is not to slam your new truck in no way but maybe a hint to you to look under the truck for other signs of some possible heavy off roading, (not as bad a OCC?s hill jump, inside joke on forum) but that it may be worth a look so you know what you got going on with your new truck and to make sure you are not going to have any "surprises" down the road. I really hope that there is nothing else wrong but three people(four counting myself) did point it out just to give ya a heads up.
Enjoy your new truck, have fun, Peace, Ed
