I just bought a 1980 4x4 Toyota pickup with a 3 inch lift and 33 inch tires. I have not been able to find any nerf bar style side steps to make it easier for me to get my short fat butt into and out of the truck. I also want to paint the truck an old military camo pattern and have not been able to find any stencils. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to UY!

For the steps, I would check out some of 4xInnovations Rock Sliders.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone use stencils for a military camo pattern, I think they generally freehand it.

Yep, what Dan said! :laugh:

Actually here's a good thread to read on Yotas and camo paint. Page 3 has some really good tech on military specs and something similar to a stencil.

Hey Chris,
Thanks for the info. Those rock sliders look tough. I think I will get Adam to weld me up a set. He told me he will have a front bumper for my 1980 4x4 Toy in a few weeks. You were such help with the steps, do you have any idea where I could get some weather tech style floor liners? I plan on using this as a hunting rig and will be tracking a lot of crap into the truck.
Thanks for all the help.
