    went out to truckhaven yesterday. Man this truck wasn't phased! First photo where the rear is lifted I got stuck all because of the predator tube steps. Had to dig them out. Other than that everything was as smooth as butter! IMG_1345.jpg IMG_1344.jpg IMG_1333.jpg

    Hahaha, sorry I have heard nothing good about those steps for off roading. Glad you got out unscathed.

    I got my faux ones on and they won't be coming off until they are a crumpled mess. They seem to be holing up pretty well as long as I don't take it off any more 3 foot drops.

    Nope I learned the hard way man. I couldn't get them to take it off because it was on the build order bull crap. But man I was sweating it. I was the only one there surprisingly. But luckily I had a small shovel in the back. It was also soft rock so I was able to break them and move them out of the way. Had to turn traction control back on to get a better grip on the only tire on the ground. It was definitely and adventure. Wheeling in 2wd is more challenging if anything trying not to get stuck

    Just cut the steps off and then at least you won't get stuck on them again and you will still have some door ding protection. I have these for now and like them very much.

    Those are nice, just a bit too beefy for my taste. I want some that just a simple tube that will protect the truck from idiots parked next to me.

    @Shmellmopwho can probably hook you up with that or @glorifiedwelder or I think even @BAMFTACO
    There a couple of others that can help out with welding and fabricating a custom set.

    I have body mounted sliders. Not super excited about them but they are working. If I put real sliders on it then I am going to have to commit to 33 to 35's. That is something for the future maybe.
