At least we can do the lift kit and install the plastic bumper guard...but we still can't recalibrate the speedo/odo. Geez.



PS: And I still think those original steps look better than the nerf bars that replaced them.
I bet whoever rides in that ridge is sporting mandatory fatigues and a M-16. It looks like an APC LOL.

Re: lowering ridge - bad experience

The original side steps were great

Except for the welds corroding and paint chipping, oh and also that they came in only one color God Awful Grey.

The color didn't come even close to one stock paint color or even the wheels.

Had a set and glad they are gone, love my Westin Bars!!!
