Solution-Leg rash Tremor steps.

[OregonRangerTremor]

With nice weather and short pants just around the corner I found a solution to the "road rash" caused by the Tremor Steps. Available on line or at a pharmacy near you. (jokin', I love my Tremor steps)

I like mine also. Use the step every time in and out. No rash. Now bashing your head when crawling out from underneath is another thing. Better start using my safety helmet ?

It’s been a few months since I gave blood. Put on shorts this morning. Wish me luck.

I definitely do not like my Tremor steps. I get road rash if I have shorts on or dirty my pant leg if I have long pants on. If I actually step on them I have to do a deep knee bend to get down into the cab and my 69 year old knees don't like it.

The simple solution would be to remove them but with a 5' 3" wife the steps are nessary for her. I am to OCD to remove just the one on the driver's side and too cheap to buy the power retractable ones. I am doomed to road rash or dirty pants or sore knees.

The first thing I did upon arriving home with my new Tremor, remove steps.
Those things were waiting to give a real nice scar.

I actually use them. So instead of sliding into the seat and causing the wear and tear all drivers seats get on the door side, I try to step unto the truck. 6'1 here.

Hi Dan,

We have a joke here in Southern AZ....How to Id a Snowbird... relative easy...we go out for a morning 3 mile walk. Long pants, Swearshirt, jacket, gloves and ear Muffs. Snowbirds try to blend in....Tee shirt, sandles, shorts and fish belly white legs.... They blend right in...Not!

Best,
Phil

Gloves and ear muffs in Arizona, or are you in Alaska now? I'm in shorts and sandals until it's below freezing. I wouldn't even bring pants if I were snowbirding in AZ. Sweatshirt and jacket??? just thinking about it and I'm starting to sweat LOL

Never heard "Fish belly white" befor, it made me laugh.

After a year of use no injury or even contact, except with a shoe sole has occurred.

Maybe just move along with mindless abandon of the location of your extremities. Then one day the stride that became a shuffle due to inactivity will cause a fall and a broken hip so the handy steps will become moot.

Real sliders..... Ford why did you not include them on your most current capable offroad ranger package??

I'm convinced the tremor side step hate is a jealousy thing or due to people that are accident prone. I think they look great and they aren't in the way at all. How about learn to walk/get out of a car like a normal person or don't be clumsy and you won't run into stationary objects?

Well why would I be jealous of my Tremor side steps? Not sure what accident prone has to do with liking or not liking the side steps.

In any case the actual steps are higher in relation to the door opening and stick out further than any side steps I have ever come across on a pickup.

I am 6' tall with a 32" inseam. I can easily get in and out of my Ranger Tremor without using the step except for the fact my leg contacts the edge of the step, other side steps that are more tucked in this does not happen. As I and others have said if you have shorts on and your leg contacts the rough surface of the step it will abrade your skin. If you have pants on any dirt on the step is transfered to your pant leg. If I step up onto the steps my nipples are even with the roof so it is a deep knee bend to squat down into the truck.

Since the steps will unbolt from the rail I believe Fords intent was you could take them off and be left with a tube that would act as a rock slider. Nice idea but the positioning of the step is not ideal for a lot of people, nothing to do with being jealous or accident prone.

Personally I like the aesthetics of any truck without side steps better but because of a short wife I need them with the Tremor. And as I previously mentioned I am to OCD to just remove the driver's step and to cheap to buy power retracting ones.

I was initially planning to ditch them but I've adjusted how I get in and out of the truck to them and now I really have no problems with them. I have pretty long legs and getting in am able to clear the steps, when I get out I pivot and put my right foot on the step and left leg straight to the ground and I don't ever bang my shins on them. Hard to describe through text but it's not awkward at all for me or uncomfortable, has just become habit.

Also nice defense against inconsiderate people who may park next to me and attempt to open their car door into mine...
