I certainly like the design and the looks of your product, it looks substantial and very strong, reminiscent of the running boards on the cars of the 30's & 40"s. Before I can really give an honest opinion perhaps more information could be posted. My questions are these. What real practical purpose is this item fulfilling ? It looks like it is really no lower then a couple of inches of the van floor and it obviously has to take away from ground clearance. Perhaps the measurements could be given like, how far out from the body does it extend ? How much ground clearance do I loose ? How much lower than the floor is it ? How much does it weigh ? How does it attach ? Will it be easier for ice and snow to get a foothold for those who live in the snow country ? I am not trying to find fault because I love createability in people, but is this an improvement or is this just more STUFF like I see and read about on the list every day. clarence. 1990 westy. |
