Hi All,
Just a little update to anybody who might have any interest.
Well, I didn't think about how she's going to climb into the lifted truck without factory steps. At this point, I'm just trying to get this project done and move on with my life and keep what I can in my wallet.
I told the fab company who's installing the lift, to install some AMP steps and then thought, I wonder what that costs? After asking, I basically said she can crawl into the truck as I'm not paying another 2500 bucks.
I told him cancel those steps and got on the ole google machine.
I found Rough Country has auto steps like AMP for approx 700 less installed. I have no clue if they have lights or not, no clue if they have one motor or two motors, i just told him to go with those as they cost less.
As long as they deploy when the door opens and go back up when the door shuts, that's about all I care about.
Not sure if anybody has used this brand or not, but i'll give feedback once they are on.
On another note, we decided to get new wheels for the truck. We looked and looked and looked and lucky me, she fell in love with JTX forged wheels. I got a quote on those, needless to say, we are keeping the stock wheels. Who in the world pays 10 grand for wheels. Maybe I'm showing my age or just finally hitting my spoil her limit, but for the love of god, when did everything start to cost that much.
I think the title of this thread should be: "Holy crap everything costs so much, i'm done!"
