pictures from the desert...

...well, not really, just a empty lot near a strip mall, looks like a desert though. hard to get in and out of without high-centering, but a nice spot to snap off a few pics.

sweet looking truck, may i ask what you did to have your side steps so low?

 

[racsan]

sure, when i put the step bars on, they were up against the body and barely stuck out, couldnt get half my foot on them . im kinda short (5'6") and with this being a 4x4 it was just a bit high to get into, and my young daughter had to practically crawl up into the cab. for each of the 2 mounting points per step bar, i took 2 peices of 2"x2" angle and 2 peices of flat iron and made it so the bars were lowerd and kicked outboard 2". yes it looks extremely dropped, but now they are useable, functional step bars, not just a body bolt-on to look good. i also added a brace to the frame at each mounting point to deal with the added leverage created by lowering the step bars. since most non-stainless bars rust out from the inside out, i poured 1/2 qt of rustolem paint in each bar and moved it back and forth to try and coat the inside of the pipes. for $200 you would think you wouldnt heve to modify a accesory, but i did in order for it to work for me. here is some close up shots of the mounting brackets:
