non skid step (6 Viewers)

[pardion]

Anyone know where to get the white rubber non-skid step material? It has a square raised patternabout 1/4" squares. I saw in Specter that they had black tred covers. All the early cruisers I have seen are white. JC Whitney, Old Chevy's? Thanks, John Pardi

Here's a link to a tread that was going on a while back. We really needed to get a group buy going. I need enough for at least three or four sets.

John, I meant to ask you about this. I'd like to get enough for a couple sets also. Mike will need it for a couple also.

 

[foxfab]

Yep, 2+

 

[landcruiserdude]

I also need enough for 3 sets.

 

[LandCruiserSteve]

I guess I better jump in with a need for one set (pair).

 

[wesintl]

I"m definatly down for some of the material. I need the white squared ones like you guys.

Well no news in the last month, I need 1 set in 1 month, where do I get some step tread? Thanks, John

Has anyone done anything on this? If not, I'll get some samples and get it rolling. Looks like white was original.

Yes Jim,

Stock Were White, I went to SOR today, and saw the remains of stock steps rubber and they are white.

OK, this is what was under the trim on mine. The pyramids came to a point, these have just been smushed down by the trim. I've got a few samples on the way.

 

[Cruiser_Nerd]

This is as good as it gets, 5 1/2 blocks per inch instead of 4 1/2 per inch like the original.

 

[foxfab]

Schweet!!!

This is as good as it gets, 5 1/2 blocks per inch instead of 4 1/2 per inch like the original.

Ya think the Non-Skid Step Police will even notice??

Otherwise, that stuff looks nice!!

 

[Cruiser_Nerd]

Well I didn't notice until I put the sample away and ordered the material.......................

See how I layed the original on the sample at a 45* angle? Yep, the material is at an angle to the way it lays on the running board. So, tons of waste and 1/2 as many sets as I planned.

 

[wesintl]

That stuff looks good. I can't wait...

 

[red66toy]

I would be down for a set for the long running boards if its not too pricey. Thanks!

 

[Cruiser_Nerd]

OK guys, since I live in a FJ25 world, I completely forgot about the "long" running boards. I rough cut this batch all short (you have to do the final trim) ........

So I'll be dropping nine sets of short sets to Foxfab tomorrow, I'm going to let Mike sell them so I don't have to deal with it.

 

[Cruiser_Nerd]

Can someone give me the dimensions for the long board, I'll have to order another batch of mat. I really intended to make them all long so they could be cut down for the short boards.

 

[wesintl]

Rough is 33 3/4 in long

WIdth at the screws
F
6" very front all the way across at phillps
5 1/4'
4 3/4
4
3 1/4
2 3/4
2
R

I need at least 1, maybe 2 depending on the $. short only (i'm not getting them for the 66 that i have the dimensions above.. although i should)

Thanks Foxfab...
