Yeah Im glad those running boards came off. They did however help with people riding on the side while I drove. I am just glad I got my pair of sliders on now!

I am about to turn 24 btw, not to rub it in your older gents faces.

I am surprised no one commented on the truck resting on 4x4s and 6x6s in the lift install pics. I guess I'm not the only one who has done that. I was scared at first, but I put jackstands where they could reach on the frame. I installed it at my friends carport, and his dad said blocks were ok. We built two heeps, an old bronco, and my cruiser there.

Honestly I just use cinderblocks when I work on my rigs. BTW 27 here.

With regards to running boards, there were a set on my truck when I bought it nearly 20 years ago. The VERY FIRST mod I made was removing them, and I had a 1 year old and three year old at the time too!

I remember following your thread back then. Well I dont feel too bad about the 6x6s now seeing your body up on rubber tires and rims.

I remeber setting mine down on the 4x4s first. My fingers were crossed as the weight was put on them. They made all sorts of noise and even bowed out a bit. I was scared, so that is why I put the 6x6s down there with jackstand backups on the frame.

I have driven about 20 feet with the tent open. I had to move campsites. It was fine as long as someone was holding the ladder up.

Wow, that just seems like it was ages ago! It was fun to follow.
