I bought mine from the local Ford dealer. I beleive it's and Expedition part.

 

Thanks! I didn't try a dealer!

 

15hrs later and there all smooth once again, thanks lady.







Cap will be filled with urethane by the bodysop where the part sanded thru. They will also urethane the 2 part bumper step together so it looks like the original part I had which was one piece. Insurance won't pay for smoothing of the oem parts so I had to do it myself. At least they pay to have the parts painted.

 

I still have sanding to do on my Expy console insert and surfboard pod. It's been raining over two months straight here and it just finally cleared up this weekend. I also have new side steps.

 

This time around I did a much better job than the first round. There will be no bondo used to fill in the gaps. The pieces came out perfectly flat. I think it's because I used low speed electric drills/sanders this time instead air tools. I also did'nt melt the part either from going to fast. Will have to redo the driver's side eventially so it will look as nice at the passenger side.

 

When I did my first set of side steps I used an obital palm sander. It worked like a champ. I just ground off the ridges with my 4" angle grinder and went at it with the palm sander.

That's pretty

 

Yup, I used my 6" portal cable orbital for final sanding. Took the ridges off with 36/60 grit 3M sanding discs with my offset Milwakee variable speed drill. Made a huge difference!
