side steps and light bar

[schneiderz]

Hey i have a 2003 ford ranger and am looking for both side steps and a light bar. Any ideas on what i should get? Also for the steps i really don't want a nerf bar type of step more of a single step.

Can't help you with the side steps, but for the front bar I have a Westin grill guard

These things are pretty expensive new (at least to me), at like $500, but i was lucky enough to find one on craigslist for only $100
until i got the westin bar, i used one of these

which was cheap and worked for holding the lights

Can't really comment on the westin bar, I just got it a couple days ago. It feels very solid though. Some of the paint is chipping off, and there is some rust along the top portion, but I don't know how long it was on another truck before I got it, or how well the previous owner took care of it.

The angle iron bar had a bit of surface rust in a couple places when I took it off, but that could probably have been prevented with another coat of paint or something before I put it on, and keeping it cleaner. It was on the truck for a little under a year.

i was talking about the light mounts that you had before
