    My access cab came with predator steps and I immediately took them off. I put the bolts back in for now, but I'm guessing I will need to include them if I plan on selling them? If I leave them out then isn't there the risk of forming rust inside the holes? Is there a remedy for this or am I overthinking it? Not sure if the holes are coated inside or not.

    Also, I'll add that I have a pair of Predator Steps for an access cab for sale. :)

    If you could get the buyer of the steps to send you the plugs that's all you need. A truck without steps installed will have rubber or plastic plugs in the holes.

    Great, thank you.
    I'll post my steps in the marketplace forum and hope for the best. I'm located in Central Arkansas if anyone close is interested.

    There's a forum for that - Buy / Sell / Trade.

    Yep. Mine came with plugs, which are sitting in the garage for the day I take the steps off for some reason. You could always spray them with WD-40 occasionally to keep them water resistant.

    I'd rather make a more permanent replacement. I tend to forget about things like that.

    I'm sure you can order those plastic plugs from the dealer or find something similar at harbor freight.
