My wife and son were away today and I decided to remove the running boards and fix the rubber steps that had shrunk or slid over the last 19 years...
Both sides were like this.
First, I marked the metal adjacent to the endcap shown and then pulled off the endcaps, lifted the rubber off the front lip and stripped it off. I cleaned the accumulated dirt off the aluminum step and then repositioned the rubber step back under the back plastic panel then pulled the front of the rubber down over the lower front lip, making sure I was covering my exposed metal mark. I started on one end and used a small screwdriver to help lock the rubber under the front lip, moving along the bottom of the step from one end to the other. I also cleaned and restored the steps with a trim restorer that has black dye in it. While waiting for the trim to dry, my family came home... Uh-oh...
I told them I was restoring the trim and I needed to leave the running boards off until next weekend. I asked my son to see if he could get into the truck without the running boards. He could, although it was a bit comical. He'll need to practice some. My wife looked at the truck and said she actually liked the look without the boards!!! She said it looked like a real truck now.
So, I guess we'll see if I have to reinstall them next weekend.
If not, I need to get some front mud flaps. My truck already has the brackets and bolts, so all I need are the two flaps.

Girls' weekend getaway with my little wildlife harasser.
Had some dude waiting by the LC, complaining about how long he'd been waiting for the owner of that truck to show up, then told me he thought I'd be a guy.

My old man has a 76 series. It's a weapon. Chipped with exhaust. Unfortunately Holden Ute is now dead with the Commodore.
I Just watched videos and bought a kit off eBay.. took me a bunch of tries but eventually I got the hang of it.. still made mistakes.. but ones I could live with. Hit me up if you have questions
Nothing much, just HID Projector retrofit
Installed the T13- still need to trim the antenna tabs a little bit
hoser
SILVER Star
Most definitely a nice 100 you have there. Regarding the front locker, I'd love to be wrong. Can you post more details? Ideally, I'd like to see the front differential showing the e-locker actuator. But I know that might not be so easy to photograph. Have you activated the front locker yet? Some giveaways might be removing the FF/RR locker switch and looking at the wiring harness. Do all the wires go into the factory harness or does one wire go off on it's own?
When you turn the FF locker dial, does the dash indicator activate quickly or does it blink and then activate, sometime taking a bit of time?
ARB Bumper installed. I want to get LED front marker lights. I didnt see them on the arb site, anyone know what fits or where to get?
Nice, those looks great! Was it DIY or did you pay someone? I have a kit from the Retrofit Source in my garage awaiting a full day to work on it.
I paid someone to do it, it's a friend so I was gonna help him get the word out on the forum to see if anyone else is interested in having it done. I'll get the truck back tonight.
My OEM Lexus battery died without notice so I installed an Interstate MTP-27F. Fortunately the tire store down the street had one in stock. I called Costco first and they said they don't carry a 27F and are unable to order one. I thought that was strange.
-Safari snorkel
-Total chaos UCAs
-Sway bar bushings
-New brake pads
Left town for a week, so I dropped mine off to have the timing belt/water pump replaced (130k since last replaced). While there I had the mechanic repack the bearings, replace the wiring harness for the trailer hookup (PO had it wired through the tire jack compartment???), and remove the running boards while he had it on the lift.
Lookin good!
Looks great. If your friend has a fair price I'm in for a set.
I'm about to go pick up the truck now, after i go over everything, see the quality, see the lights look, i'll post some pics and get PM you the pricing. Not sure how this would work though since he needs the headlights to do it, and maybe your truck too so he can put the lights on and aim it and stuff.
Did that this week too when I changed the hood struts.
I use ZEP Citrus

This looks fantastic. I know this was a while back, but did you take any precautions to cover anything or not spray on electrical? That rig turned out so good!

I didn't cover anything. I sprayed the ZEP on and let it sit for a bit, scrubbed things with a toothbrush and another larger brush and then took a sprayer on mist and rinsed it off. Wiped everything down with dry towels.
