Fellas,

Have either one of you had any problems with the fiberglass sidesteps ??? The reason I ask is that my driver side split down the seam and I found out why. No vent holes !!! A good friend of mine who is in the fiberglass business informed that when you have a 2 piece design like that and no vent holes it creates an air pocket and when it gets hot ( Florida ) it expends and eventually cracks. This happened to me when I was in Orlando. I fixed the crack and drilled 2 small holes on the backside of the steps. This should prevent future problems.

 

Well my garage is like africa but I haven't seen this on mine. I'll check again on mine though, maybe I should drill some holes now.


Hey monkey, you don't return my mail and you don't answer your phone. Call me brother

I want to meet up and get some hooters, my young lady goes to NIU so I drive out by you now all the time.


call me 773-619-4615

 

Sorry Joe. Got a new e-mail addy for work. I'll call today.

 

Oh I see how it is!

Hey, I can't wait to hear your truck!!!!!!

I installed my new shocks like yours and the only thing I didn't like is that they didn't extend far enough so I had to jack up the lower control arms to get them bolted properly and then I could lower them and the shocks where actually supporting the lower's now. Did you have the same results? I haven't road on them yet so I have no clue what they feel like. only 39 bills each too.

 

Rob:

Nothing wrong with mine, but I never park it outdoors.

When you say vent holes, are you telling me that your steps aren't solid?

 

Mine arn't!?!?!?!

And his arn't either.

to tell you the truth we both had some extra finishing work to do on the both of ours to get them ready for the paint and finish. about 2 hours of bondo and sanding.

 

Rich,

My steps are a hollow 2 piece design. If yours are solid fiberglass than you're sound as a pound dude
