Lund Step Mates

This Ford F-250 certainly ended up sitting much higher than I ever anticipated. Because of this, I needed some kind of step below the doors to facilitate getting in and out of our truck. I quickly decided against ‘nerf’ bars since I was looking for a factory appearance. The steps I wanted, the kind like you see on Ford Expeditions with courtesy lights in the ends, were not available for my model year Ford. I was happy, however, to find that Lund does offer a molded side step designed for my application.

Lund agreed to sponsor my project with a set of Step Mate running board steps. These are fiberglass steps with steel bracing and mounting hardware. The steps were painted to match and then protected with some of our 3M vehicle protection film. Once in place, getting in and out of Project Responder was a piece of cake. I am very grateful to Lund for their support.
