Are you a midget buzzy? Why do you need side steps on a Sierra?
Sliders I can understand but steps

I had a set of alloy sidesteps on my rodeo... went down a hill slightly off track, hit a hole and bent the sidesteps up and had to climb in and out of my window till i removed the step...
On the sierra though, i actually wouldn't mind a small thin step/slider - I have racing bucket seats with hard sides, and the mrs has trouble getting in

Make sure they're mounted well. The front passenger mount on my mates old 4runner let go a few years back whilst on the highway. It dug into the road and threw him up on two wheels before it tore off altogether. Just about shit himself!

nah mate im almost 6 foot
but they are free and in tassie we dont really have much rockledges or any major rock wheeling so a heavy set of rock sliders would just weigh my zook down even more esecialy with the 120 kilo driver
its just an idea at he moment tho see if it work and if i cant get it to work they end up where he was gonna put em if no one took em (the tip)

if you need side steps to get in, why did you buy a lift kit & want to install a body lift?
got any pics of the steps, they sound gay.

the step is mainly to protect i didnt want to weigh the zook down anymore with a heavy chuck of steel on each side
the steps r designed for a hundred series and should have no troubles holding the weight of a sierra (well its good in theory so far)

This thread brings the lolz.
This is possibly the worst idea ever.
I especially liked this:

Seriously dude, if you want to improve your fab skill at least do it making something with a purpose. There's a heap of threads and ideas about how to make functional sliders/steppythings for sierras.
Just because it's free, doesn't make it a good idea.

No Buzzy.... The steps might fit a 100 but they are designed to hold the weight of a person, BECAUSE THEY ARE STEPS NOT CAR RAMPS.
Last time I checked a Sierra weighed more than a person. Alloy is good for a step not sliders.

You don't need rocks to bend side steps. They have plenty of ruts in Tassie, and with the steps hanging 8" out the side of the car, they're going to get smashed on curbs, let alone ruts.
He doesn't want steps, he wants to stuff around with something that was free for the sake of it. That's cool, but it's not worth a thread on in the internet.
Steve.
