I did take a look at the amp steps.... I'm a little hesitant. I find myself in crud all the time, with wires and electric motors down there.... I feel like i'd be asking for trouble.
I think i'm going to sit on this for a bit.
I agree wth Rob.... It is important to me to have the offroad protection and jacking points like i've had in my other trucks. This is only possible using a frame mounted bar.
If I were to sustain a strong enough impact that would bend a frame, I don't think the bars would be my issue. If anything, I would think the bars would help absorb some of the impact and prevent the frame from bending.
Ooh well. I'm going to keep my eyes open.
Rob, if you fabricate a frame mounted bar yourself, take some pictures. I'd like to see how they turn out.
Thanks!
