They look great. congrats!

BTW, I like the steps maccus is showing better than the ones I have. (but mine are already paid for, installed and scratched up... so they stay) but being fair, the ones maccus shows, with the belting, is going to be a lot more flexible than mine (made out of 1 1/4 inch steel cable) and will...

here are the side steps and the rear one retracted with the tailgate down

ok rear step is in The rear retractable is in... works just fine on the M925A1. Rear x-over frame member rubs on the step when retracted, but I can live with that. May put a piece of rubber mat or tire tube stuck to the frame to help, but not now. here are the pics...

Right on both counts. I should have them this week. will report.

Thank you for the heads up. one pair of the cable steps already on order and one of the retractable 3 rung steps for the bed. Now I should be able to get in the bed without opening the tailgate. http://www.kaffenbarger.com/index.php?productID=938 Price: US $83.93...

Thank you, Price is not too bad. I like them. I would like a little more info. can you provide a source? That bed definitely calls for something like this.

Either way, its all good

I don't quite see the ... even make it a 2 stage step with very little extra work (first step folds down then other folds down from 1st) - The gap would help the "hooking your foot on the way down problem" I still would have to draw it out - basically draw a circle with the length (radius)...

I like it. One concern would be that in the raised position it will have to stick out from the step... (maybe an inch or 2) depending on how low you want it to drop so you could lower it with your foot while climbing down and not have it creep under the step as it swings down... a small...

I tried to see how low they hang when "retracted" and could not see the info. Looks like it may be 4-5 inches... starting with the amount of ground clearance on the M925, I don't see how this could be a problem.

You are right. I also noticed that the rear tire is not the problem... the problem would be the fuel tank... wow. I would like to see the pic of the steps you got and where you got them. I thought of fabricating some chain or cable steps, but if they are already manufactured (and not crazy...

BTW, I can see if the swivel works both ways, with another swivel down at the actual step... I can see the entire problem of snagging avoided

Lets put it this way... I am still limping from my first encounter with my M925A1... I suppose the MK48 have the same problem if they back up... either way, I will either fix it so I can get on and off without issue or sell or scrap it... I don't have toys I cannot use...

OK... I have seen the light/// Saw first hand how the MK48 step works... It is a contraption that actually has a hinge on the leading edge (front) and a chain on the rear edge/ if someting were to snag or hit it on the bottom, it would fold back as it pivots behind the main step. once you are...

I plead ignorance... I honestly am not familiar enough with HeMtts (not blessed I guess) to know. I do know that this issue is obviously more of a problem for a lot of members than it first seemed. I am confident that a solution will come from it... As it is, my right hip is giving me heck...

I agree, but I don't think they are, not the way they hang down on a HeMtt - I have never seen them up close, so I don't know. I have seen many pictures of Hemtts and never noticed a bent step, and I am sure if it had been like that I would have. Maybe a member that has experience with them...

How available are the HEMTT Steps? looks like an elegant, yet simple bolt in solution-I don't know how many of those are being parted out, it may be readily available for testing.

have to draw it out... I will do so tomorrow... I caNNOT SEE IT

Off topic though... Scooteerr, do you own one of these beasts? I almost jumped into the recent fray, but other responsibilities like... eating, mortgage, etc. got in the way. Almost did, but will always wonder... what would have happened if!!! If you own it, what is it like? I would like to...
