    x2 on SOS. My wife is short as well and uses them as a step. At first, I found it a little annoying having to step over them getting in, then dragging legs over them on the way out, but you get used to it. The joy of their function is worth it.

    Thanks. I really need something for steps for her and door ding protection but I wear dress pants for work so I was concerned about getting pants dirty but I can make it work for the advantages of them.

    Installed GTA Pure Bluetooth Kit in my 2004 Tacoma. Easy install about 30 minutes, followed their video instructions on youtube, so easy. Sound from both phone and music is great and I am very picky. Cannot believe I have gone this long without bluetooth. Previously used a FM frequency transmitter, so frustrating always fading in and out. Using with iphone 5s. Also bought the Scosche MAGDM Magnetic Dash Mount for $15 works great, no wiggle and very easy to mount and dismount. Have had the Bluetooth and Mount for 2 weeks without complaints.

    I didn't think they'd stick out far enough for steps but it turns out they're perfect. Usually I just step on them on my way out. My wife banged her shin on them the first time she got in, but loves having them.
    Ding protection was another reason for purchasing. So far, no new dings!

    Yeah I lived off 17, then off 220 by College, so I never had to mess with Blanding traffic on the way to work. I think I'd go for the same area, down past Whitey's, if I ever move back.

    265/70/17. Had 2.5" block lift installed in preparation for going to 285s. I didn't like the ride quality of the "poor man's lift" so I took it off and got another set of 265s.

    My sis-in-law lives down Argyle by the roundabout. Nice, quiet area. Good schools too. Only thing I miss about Blanding was the Academy Sports. Their aren't any north of NC.
