good day to all

i am looking for new or lightly used safarigard rear bumper steps. Safarigard has discontinued making them. Does any one have a set they would like to part with?

thanks

Ken Loy has delt with the guys from NTR. Their bumperettes will work with the rear bumper still installed if that interests you.

I know your looking $G. but if you get desperate or change your mind, you might consider getting the Scorpion Racing ones. I painted my tread plates black so the whole unit is black.

I've got a pair of the Scorpion racing ones as well & can recommend them. I'm about to get mine blasted & galvanised.

The NTR bumperettes got delivered today. I have not had a chance to install them yet, but the quality appears to be excellent.:grin

Doug, Hippert welded his NTR bumperettes on and I think that's going to be much stronger than the bolt-on that I did. I think they can be welded and still be compatible with the bolt-on/off rear bumper. If someone does it, will you post the info?

I took the easy way out and went with bolts only. I agree that welding them on would probably be much stronger though.

Mine are bolted on. I'm not sure how strong you guys want them, but I smacked one HARD and it did it's job. I actually crushed my rear side marker (left the pieces in the mud wall I contacted) but did zero body damage because the bumperette took the force.
I was very impressed. I just had to replace the rear light and buff the paint instead of replacing a rear body panel.
