Why just this morning my buddy and I took his big ugly DEE-ZEE running boards off. they had two bolts in the wheel well 5 in the rocker lip and one bolt in a strut connected to the frame.

THOSE ARE THE ONES! haha

I was going to attempt making my own. That is why i needed some pics of how they are mounted.

do you have a picture of what you were thinking? like boxy steps, tube steps, etc? and they SHOULD NOT be only supported by the rockers, mine had a heavy bracket that attached to the frame to take the weight

thats exactly how the brackets are

1great68 · 05-26-2009, 11:06 PM

Do they bolt up to the backside of the frame?

pokethesmot · 05-26-2009, 11:07 PM

they bolt up right behind the rocker panel and they are verry sturdy

1great68 · 05-26-2009, 11:33 PM

Bolt up to the back of the rocker or frame?

pokethesmot · 05-26-2009, 11:45 PM

1great68 · 05-26-2009, 11:47 PM

I don't know about the love you part, but i will remind you tomorrow thanks

pokethesmot · 05-27-2009, 12:02 AM

lol damn....i guess that will work then

dammitmitchell · 05-27-2009, 12:36 AM

i
ll take pictures tomorrow.. i have the "carr" brand steps..
i took some flat stock from ace hardware, and bolted that also to the rocker.. i pulled the screws back out after i made the holes and primered the hell out of everything back there just in case..
if you wan i'll post pictures....

i personally do NOT like mounting directly to the rocker itself...
but that's my opinion...

with the lack of rocker on my truck i am thinking of making some that bolt to the frame (the only part that actualy still has metal

)
