I think so. Your truck had just been left stranded with the broken radius arm so you were on camera duty.

AttaBoy Metal! Do the step-ladders automatically retract & tuck under when you close the doors?

Hahaha. Those are not steps, those are rock sliders. They dont move. At all. I currently have my truck on jack stands....... on them.

I guess your wondering if they move because there is so much room between them and the rocker panel? Well, back when i made them I had the brilliant idea of trying to repair my rockers so i built them so that I would have clearance to do so.
