A Mod for Levi.....

A very happy Easter Monday morning to everyone.  It's Pod here and you guessed it, I'm camping again.  The gang left home a little before nine yesterday morning, and arrived here about 1:30ish.  Where's here you ask?  Why Huntington Beach State Park, just south of Murrell's Inlet, SC.  We got here, checked in, found our site, and set up camp in just a short while.  Fortunately, we had about an hour's window in the rain along the coast, so we didn't get very wet. 

But this Monday morning, the clouds are gone taking the rain with them, and the sun is shining on what should be a beautiful beach day.  

Today I want to back up a bit and tell you about a mod Rob did to Levi this past week.  You see, he ran into a friend of his about a month ago, and was admiring his new 2016 King Ranch (another model of Ford Truck).  This is where he first got the idea for this particular mod.  Then he was talking with our neighbor Ed, and saw the same mod on Ed's 2015 C2500 ( yet another model of truck, but a Chevy).  So Rob did his research, placed the order, and just a few days later, a big ole heavy box arrived.

So, what is this mod I'm talking about?  Well just look at the picture below....

It's a BedStep2 by Amp Research.  Rob researched the Ford factory step retailing for about $380 delivered, or this model which he actually got to see in person thanks to his friend Ed for $244 delivered.  

So the very afternoon it arrived, thanks to the time change, and a quick supper, Rob set about assembling and installing the side step. 

Unpacking.....

All the pieces.....

All assembled......

Rob told me this part of the install wasn't bad at all.  The step is very heavy, the fastener hard wear all good quality.  It was the actual install that he said was a GRRRRRR.........  (You can ask him what that means if you want to, not me!!)

Here's a picture of the step once it was installed and tucked away underneath Levi.....

Here's a picture of the step extended for use to gain access to the front of the bed.  Rob says he likes the step and he's sure he will find it useful.

Well that's about it for now.  I think I need to go and help Rob cook breakfast.  (Yes, everyone thinks he's the cook, but if it wasn't for me toting all the food and gear, well you get the idea.....)

Until next time, stay safe out there......-Pod and the Gang
