    Has anyone seen the "Off-Road Alloy step bars" that are on a white Dodge in this months (May 2008) Diesel Power, page 46-47? Not sure I like them yet but have never seen them before.

    that would probably be a better question for the other forum. Seems like this forum is no longer for tow rigs, but just plain ol' trucks. ;)

    Umm no, the product in question can be bolted to a ford, dodge or gm tow rig and this is the general forum.

    Well, I have a 4X4 Truck, and have never needed nerf bars to tow anything with, unless you are really short or old, in which case I would suggest a step that actually serves a valid purpose other than to put a step 4 inches below your door.

    I bet those nerf bars were chrome huh? ;)

    I have a 7 year old son who is shorter than I am, as far as the chrome I guess you haven't seen my truck, I have no chrome, in fact I removed the chrome "3500" and "C" from the sides and all the stupid chrome text from the tailgate which I'm sure is still on your truck. ;)

    What's with all the hostility in this thread. Seems like Dogderep likes to do a bit of bashing lately.

    No I am not bashing, I guess alot of people take it that way, and yes there are a few chrome badges on my truck... I have not found any black ones to replace them yet.

    I do get a bit frustrated that tow rig is anything but towing and work trucks. I thought that was why we had cumminsforum.com. I guess I can either leart to live with it or just stop visiting the site.

    I am interested in real tow rigs, I have hauled as much as 47K with my truck, and pull 18 wheelers from time to around the yards. I just wanted more topic specific threads. I am interested in what working trucks are doing to achieve the mileage, weight capacities and longevity that are required of them. I am interested in FMCSA topics and what other small businesses are doing to assure that they can keep working and keep their employees working.

    I really meant no offense, I like to barb the little trucks (that is a joke) from time to time, but I love all these trucks, please take no offense.
