Damn... I wouldn't mind those. What did you need for them? Everyone struggles getting into my truck, LOL. Even at stock height.

White I think I was a bit sloppy on the circle. I mean the rubber guards stuck on the doors. Supposed to protect ya from door dings and such

My step bars weren't that expensive if you want me to find a link. DEEZEE I believe is the brand

And lol you should see my in laws trying to get into mine.... quite hilarious. I even added a pull strap onto my headrest and tell them they can pull on that and yet they ignore it and try to scurry up the seat and I just laugh

Ohhhhh, OK. I've got those already, LOL. Yeah, if you know what steps you got, that would be sweet. Everyone always hangs on my "Oh $4it" handle or the seat belt to get in the truck, and still struggle.

I went with this one. I liked the oval vs the round since your foot has a larger flat surface to step on. I've slipped off the round ones one too many times lol. They also stay tucked to the truck so it doesn't look weird or leave a massive gap

Also for your back seat passengers buy a couple of jeep oh **** handles and put them on your headrest. Gives them something to pull up with.

Do these headrests pull up and out? I have a rattle I want to alleviate but I thought I was going break something.

Didn't do it yet. Was going to do it this upcoming weekend, but we just pushed it to the 29th. I'm off that following week, and it makes more sense. Trying to get my BIL to let me borrow a Powerstroke or Cummins though, because U-Haul did not want to rent something being towed by my truck. Said it was too much, which as we said previously, I was scared of that too. They also said his F150 is too wide for a dolly.

I went camping with him over the weekend, and we talked quite a bit about the scenario. It sounds more and more to me like it is an electrical issue. There was no clattering, no chirping, no vibration that would indicate the loss of pressure. I talked last night to a friend of a friend, and he said his 05 F150 did the exact same thing as this when his alternator petered out on him.

Yea, that's why I said your going to have to lie early lol. But I didn't know it was too wide for a dolly. Makes senses though, I see those huge motor homes pulling full size trucks behind them. They do it with draw bar, - all four wheels turning.

To bad you couldn't find a trailer or car hauler close by.

My BIL also had a trailer he uses for two Bobcats. Don't know if he still has it, but I'll ask him if I can use that as well. U-Haul did say that we could rent a trailer down in Cedar City and return it in Salt Lake. He said it would fit the F150.... so we do have that option. I kind of like that one best because if I can start this thing, it's driving home, LMAO...
