Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

I had been searching for a Fold Away Bumper Step it seems like forever and always seemed to hit a dead end as far as actually getting my hands on one. A couple of weeks ago I hit gold! And believe me I paid gold for it.

I finally made a phone call to a wholesale distributor on the east coast and he agreed to sell/ship me one.

No more dragging the milk crate out to check my air filter and other hard to reach spots, any of you vertically challenged guys like me will understand.

And Made In The USA to boot!
I did have to machine some hard plastic spacers 1-1/2" thick then bevel back 1/4" to fit for the bottom to offset it to level when open and drill 2 holes in my bumper for the bottom bolts w/spacers.
The countersunk flathead screws provided, which make the standing surface flat were to short to mount the license plate and license frame, I have yet to pick some up and just used bolts and nuts for now.
Works very well, solid and strong.
