Installed the folding steps

[remithoren]

Thanks Chicali and Stan for specs.

I finally installed two folding steps on the passenger side. See photos. Used 1/4 drill bit, 2.5" stainless screws (eventually cutting off 1/4" with dremel), washers, nuts and capnuts. Easy installation. I had ordered 4 of these stainless folding steps and the two I've installed are enough. Selling the other two. Just email me.

remithoren, how did you find the studs?

Erod,

Try a stud finder. Marty says they work.

stud finder worked pretty well, all stainless steel hardware and about an hour labor...pretty easy. thanks for all the advice!

thanks, definately want to drill from the inside...there's a reason they call them "suicide jacks"!

erod,

Nice job, now you not only get steps but great pack hangers as well.
