Of course that's how it works. I let slide for a couple of years a windshield crack on a car I had. Finally replaced it, and the next month a new impact!
I just called RSE and the maximum tested weight capacity of the step is 400 lbs. That's the weight of a person standing on the deployed step, not weight when the vehicle is resting on the step.
Depends on the use case. My plan had been to take them off in mid-March when I start to hit desert trails (wife doesn't like "bumpy roads" so it's just me), and put them back on in early November when my Bronco use changes to taking her up to the snowy mountains on paved roads. Now I'll have the...
I also love mine. They can be removed when you need more clearance. However, I'll be replacing mine soon with the power step sliders from Rockslide Engineering. That's so my orthopedically challenged wife can deal with the larger tires and lifted suspension about to be installed. Right now...
I have, but I'm in California. We can still get rust, mainly from driving on mountain roads in the winter. Still, we have an unusually large number of really old vehicles since most people don't do that.
I've seen two 1g Broncos in the last few months.
Bavarian beer! My mother and I toured the region 40 years ago this summer in a rental BMW. Great car, great beer, great sausage, and loads of interesting historical things to see on that trip.
At the end of one day we reached our destination and found they had a summer festival on the lake...
I have both (OEM Raptor-style running boards) and no problems with rock chips. I may be changing to the RSE power steps and losing some protection - we'll see how that goes.
My almost-crash happened in a pretty short time window, just over more space due to happening at highway speed. My vehicle was a 4WD Toyota T100 pickup, a fairly tall vehicle about as wide as a 6g Bronco. I just had enough space to make a safe maneuver rather than doing an actual swerve.
We...
As always, the specific situation can change things.
I was driving in the fast lane (legal in California) on a eight-lane freeway one night when suddenly there was a squealing of tires in a group of cars ahead and to my right. (I suspect someone tried to merge into someone else, causing...
Nice trip! Titus Canyon isn't really a offroad challenge, but it's a fun jaunt through cool scenery. It's a one-way road through varied country, ending in a narrow slot canyon where the dry wash is the road.
Sometimes the canyon is closed due to a washout somewhere along the road. When that...
