Just slapped on the Smitty Built side steps

Now my wife can get in, was really harsh on my inner right door pull

 

Those are nice. Are they solid enough to occasionally serve as armour or would they crumple?

 

Looks good!

 

I like those a lot. I was planning on installing them before I even got the tuck, but the truck came with OEM oval nerf bars that I was going to ditch. Now my dog is using them all the time to get out of the truck, so it looks like I'll have to keep them for now

 

They bolt to the body not the frame so I don't see good things happening if you were to hit them against a rock or something with any kind of force.

 

Do they say NFab on the steps?

 

I would think they would crumple, strong for getting small people in, and for parking lot damage, and probably good if you welded them on
