I may be doing things bass ackwards ... relocating batteries first... like my passenger seat as is... looking forward to your pics... how do you plan to install your evap/fan unit?
Thank you for the heads up. one pair of the cable steps already on order and one of the retractable 3 rung steps for the bed. Now I should be able to get in the bed without opening the tailgate.

Most people on this site get it... the rest of the world really does not... they lose! and we have more toys to play with. One of my friends, when he saw my fire truck and after going on a ride, his remark was, why did you get it? If after seeing it, messing with it, and riding in it, he did...
Thank you, Price is not too bad. I like them. I would like a little more info. can you provide a source? That bed definitely calls for something like this.
I don't quite see the ... even make it a 2 stage step with very little extra work (first step folds down then other folds down from 1st) - The gap would help the "hooking your foot on the way down problem" I still would have to draw it out - basically draw a circle with the length (radius)...
I like it. One concern would be that in the raised position it will have to stick out from the step... (maybe an inch or 2) depending on how low you want it to drop so you could lower it with your foot while climbing down and not have it creep under the step as it swings down... a small...
I tried to see how low they hang when "retracted" and could not see the info. Looks like it may be 4-5 inches... starting with the amount of ground clearance on the M925, I don't see how this could be a problem.
You are right. I also noticed that the rear tire is not the problem... the problem would be the fuel tank... wow. I would like to see the pic of the steps you got and where you got them. I thought of fabricating some chain or cable steps, but if they are already manufactured (and not crazy...
Thanks, but I believe that thde M925A2 is a tad different ... just looked at an armored M923A2 w a/c and engine bay is set up different as well as the solo pass. seat and the "sunroof with a sling" if you know what I mean...
Lets put it this way... I am still limping from my first encounter with my M925A1... I suppose the MK48 have the same problem if they back up... either way, I will either fix it so I can get on and off without issue or sell or scrap it... I don't have toys I cannot use...
OK... I have seen the light/// Saw first hand how the MK48 step works... It is a contraption that actually has a hinge on the leading edge (front) and a chain on the rear edge/ if someting were to snag or hit it on the bottom, it would fold back as it pivots behind the main step. once you are...
I plead ignorance... I honestly am not familiar enough with HeMtts (not blessed I guess) to know. I do know that this issue is obviously more of a problem for a lot of members than it first seemed. I am confident that a solution will come from it... As it is, my right hip is giving me heck...
I agree, but I don't think they are, not the way they hang down on a HeMtt - I have never seen them up close, so I don't know. I have seen many pictures of Hemtts and never noticed a bent step, and I am sure if it had been like that I would have. Maybe a member that has experience with them...
How available are the HEMTT Steps? looks like an elegant, yet simple bolt in solution-I don't know how many of those are being parted out, it may be readily available for testing.
