Marcus,

If 20 people took a sip of the same Coffee they would all have a different opinion of the taste.

It the way they built the jerry can holder option as well as the firewall battery tray on these.

Very true. I still like the feed back all the same.

Hi Marcus, just wondering with the added horizontal flange, will dirt will build up there and cause rust issues later on?

Will have to have a good clean under there with a pressure hose, but that is my habit anyway with all my Jeeps.

I was thinking add to the stake pocket just so it doesn't look like a thin piece of sheet.


Basically box in the same thing you are designing.

I like Pugsy's idea only ,maybe with a concave shape.

How about closing the gap on the cab and leave the step open at the front?

Thank you for the input.

Had thought of some of those but it needs to remain a removable piece and not permanently attached to the stake pocket.

I'm just making the step at the moment and will then see what it looks like and needs as must be functional. There will always be some snotty nose kid climb on when parked no doubt!

Once all in steel it can often look different too.
