![]() The aluminum is covered in a unique textured black powder coat finish that not only maximizes corrosion resistance but also helps hide minor scuffs, scratches and grime. We use a hardened T6 aluminum alloy to be lightweight and highly corrosion-resistant, while offering ample strength for a rigid step. The step pads are also raised off the tubes and provide a wide, non-skid surface for a comfortable step with plenty of traction.īecause Big Steps™ are styled as offroad nerf bars, we construct them from aluminum.

For $320 plus tax out the door!įor those readers in Central Connecticut, that's Valley Truck & Offroad, in Ellington. Everybody catch that, CARiD!įed up, I picked up the phone, called my local Off Road & 4X4 shop on a Thursday nite, they ordered the parts Friday morning, and I picked up the Steps Monday afternoon. (The did refund my money, so the only cost was my aggravation) Yes CARiD used illegal tactics and just plain piss-poor business practice to try to extort money from me. Yes, i know this is illegal, and I could have taken them to court, and I explained that to them, but no, I did not follow through. On the day they were supposed to ship, the sent an email telling me that the price had changed and I owed them another $101 before they would ship! I explained to them with no ambiguity what they could do with the steps, and canceled. They withdrew the money from my credit card, and told me they scheduled the shipping. I placed my order, and the total was ~$420 with tax and shipping. There was another source with free shipping, but the price was considerably higher so it was only pennies difference, so i went with the first. But oh what a process to get them! I looked around the internet and the best price I found was $325 plus plus $79 shipping, from CARiD.

Mounting wise, they mount either to the rocker panels, or using the cab mounting ssing with cab bolts on a older truck is a bear, and sometimes leaves a snapped bolt, which means drilling in from above through the cab to fix that problem, then still get the bars attached. Take into consideration as well, how wide is the step, and is there a backer to prevent her foot from slipping off in between the truck and the step.that could lead to a very easy broken ankle. You'll get what you pay for, so really, $325 from a name like Iron Cross is pretty good. Those lasted just over a year though, before an end cap came off, and accelerated the rusting from the inside. I live in MA, and my first set of Raptors lasted about 2 years before the rust got bad, but they honored their warranty and sent me a new pair, no questions asked. Raptor makes some ok steps, although they will rust. You can probably get them a bit cheaper, depending on what brand you go with for regular steps. But AMPs actually drop down to a usable level, whereas regular cab/rocker mounted steps are only for look, as they only drop down maybe 3".some will disagree, they are free to do so. ![]() Well, the best step is way out of your budget, being AMP Powersteps at over $1000 easy, plus install.
