I might just try the old tried and true cardboard and duct tape method.

fire at will...

Made some progress on the interior remodel this week.

That seems wrong to me, no wonder I didn't think of it. Thanks.

So... I stripped outage interior of my cab to do some sound reduction and remodeling. I removed the factory seats and seat belts. I swapped in new seats. I bought new seat belt assemblies. I, for the life of me, cannot figure out where the end of the belt goes. There are four bolting points...

I was kind of thinking the giant steel or aluminum angle would provide the reinforcement... ;-) I'm so far inland it takes me two days to see a beach. I don't expect to need to board the thing barefoot anytime soon.... But I see the point for your use case.

I was kind of thinking the giant steel or aluminum angle would provide the reinforcement... ;-) That's an option, but in the end I could end up with exactly the same rusted cable issue on a step that barely functions as a step and makes zero improvement in design or function.

Continuing to overthink this... What about attaching a piece of 4 or 6 inch angle to the face of the storage box to make a step there, then hang one of the underneath, giving us three steps instead of just two? Yeah, it would stick out from the box a bit, but still within the width of the...

I think if I had to do something today.... I'd... Cut off the existing cable step mounting boss to make the bottom of the box completely flush. Then hang one of these underneath (I would probably shorten the drop-down a bit though) Then I'd mount one of these on the top of the box lid for...

Hard agree on the manual deployment. In m case I thought the step could be mounted in such a way that it's always deployed until the cab needs to be tilted, in which case I could stow them out of the way. For me, the OEM step has failed. Many of the cable strands are broken from flexing right...

I looked at some of these and thought that it would be pretty easy to attach a spring and pneumatic actuator to fold the step in/out on command. Like this one... it would be super easy. And cool. Edit: You could even have the spring extend the step, and the actuator pull it in. That way if...

Spent some time looking again, found a couple of interesting options: The cable one look a lot more like the OEM, but I really like the tread/step on the other one.

Or maybe one of these under the edge of the bumper: And one of these bolted to the face of the storage box: Turing that giant step into two smaller ones......

I'm leaning towards one of these: https://mountainoffroad.com/collections/hide-a-step They don't have the weird angle, and no plastic/rubber parts

Some cab upgrade pics. Used a cheap undercoating gun to spray the sound deadener. And some silicon plugs from my powder coating bin to save the threaded holes. Much more to do yet... Looking forward to some peace and quiet in the cab.

Started stripping the cab... out with the old seats, gunners platform. a bunch of radio wiring, and a weird aluminum plate bolted t the floor behind the passenger seat. Scraped off the old floor covering. man whatever the green stuff they painted the floors with, is some good stuff. Looks like...

Yes, it works, at least I've never had river water in my drinking tanks. I looked and was not able to find the ones I have, maybe they don't make them anymore.

I dropped my balancer in the space freed up by removing the two extra batteries. Three wires make it work. Plus the negative, 12 volt, and 24 volt terminals make for handy hookups for chargers, test connections etc.

I'm using a Gortex vent for a water tank in my Jeep. It lets air pass in and out, but stops water/mud/debris from getting in.

It got pretty cold here today, so I swapped in a new temp sensor, which fixed my ether injection system.... I also got my CTIS controller from @Plasa sorted.
