    Looks good Mike, nice move with the gussets. Looks like you welded with the mig process. Tried to zoom in on the weld to check out your handy work.

    I'm digging it. Gonna look good after primer and paint. How are you fastening it to truck. I presume bolt on, was just curious.

    They have it set for 16 bolts per side or I can grind so paint off the frame and weld it. Once the old steps are off and I'm mocking up the new ones, I will know for sure.. top of the gussets might not have much room for the gun for me to get a good angle at welding it tho.

    I would have loved to tig that, bolt on probably best bet, just for any adjustments or you have to pull them back off. :cool:
