O.K. - so I finally got around to installing my MAAP stainless steel oval tube steps. ;D

Got 'em from JC Whitney for $329 HERE

And, down below I've attached a JPEG of what they look like on the truck. I ordered a set for the Ram 1500 series as the MAAP tech advisor said they'd fit. He was right - bolted right in to existing holes.

;D Another view. ;D

Yep, now Ninja Wife can get in the truck. The whining has ceased, my friends. 8)

 

Utah,<br> They look great ;D I may have to get the same ones . . . If I ever get my truck <br>Latter,<br>The Boss Hog<br>(I got the Vera Cruz bluuuuuuuuuuess . . . :'( )

 

;D Thanks, Boss Hogg. ;D<br><br>Geez, bro. You should be 'bout there with that truck of yours by now, eh? Hang in there, buddy.<br><br>Best to y'all<br>Bill

 

I have been looking at those for about a week. I think Cabela's carry the same step. I am going to get a white truck and I am not sure if I want the SS or the black. Yours look great. Are you happy with the construction? My truck will be the QC which means they will be longer. I do not want a lot of flex.

 

They're tight, RLS. The underlying supports are heavy and solid. No flex at all with my 220 lbs on 'em.<br><br>My only complaint is the installation instructions sucked. The parts placement was not identified and it took me an hour to do the first one as a result. But, after that, the second one only took 15 minutes to install.<br><br>Best to y'all<br>Bill

 

I had the same problem with my Westin's<br><br>The instructions were very lacking.<br><br>Took an hour for the passenger side (and one stripped bolt)<br>15 minutes for the driver side.<br><br><br>phox

 

You say you ordered one for the 1500 series, but I can't see a 2002 up on there. ??? I will be purchasing these as soon as I can find them on that site. I'm assuming that wasn't a 2001 1500 you bought. How long did it take you to get them after you ordered them? That looks great by the way! 8)

 

I saw them in Cabela's and I think they had a wide selection. If you do not like them you can send them back.

 

Utah,<br><br>Thanks for the info now all I need is the truck and all the rest of it. <br><br>I drove through a part of Utah last week. I think I could live there if I had to. Not bad.<br><br>

 

RLS...Utah is great, depending on your religious views. The country is great, the people I could do without :...kinda like California <br>I'll check Cabela's.

 

Utah,<br><br>Those steps are pretty sweet too bad they aren't on a QC. Just kidding reg cab are nice and I happen to own one too <br><br>Joe

 

Got the QC version, same board. My instructions looked like the were printed off a 10 year old injet that was very low on ink. I did better sticking the brackets up and moving/turning them around until I got it figured out. Should have been a one beer job but took me two.

O.K. - all you dogs pissin' on The Great State of Utah listen up!

We're normal I tell ya! Mormons don't even exist - it's all a creation of the Liberal media. Yeah, that's the ticket. Heck, Utah is the PARTY state! Wooooo Hooooo - loads of fun here for all.

(Fine, it's obvious you ain't buying it.)

Two of my favorite Utah slogans:

&quot;Eat, drink, and be merry - for tomorrow you may be in Utah.&quot;

&quot;Utah - Gateway to Nevada!&quot;
