One could add a flap in front of it to help shield.
Mine was just delivered. Ordered directly from Bestop. They give 10% military discount. Looks to be heavy duty. Ads say 300# capacity but instructions say 400#.I guess third time‘s the charm.
My first order from Amazon, turned out to be for an F150,
The 2nd was missing the upper bracket.
So Third...I ordered straight from Bestop.
Anyway,...It works well and holds my weight (198-200lbs).
Just a smidgen higher when folded, compared to the bottom center of
the oem hitch.
One thing worth mentioning is that, I had to remove one of my Baja S2 aux rear light because it would interfere with the step. ( not a big deal atm )

But I have a tendency to leave things once taken off my truck!?I am sure everyone has seen this. I keep my Gorilla ladder. Hell of a lot cheaper.
Pete, When I ordered the truck I specified front and rear mud flaps. For some time I have seriously thought about your suggestion; cutting a piece of rubber from an old inner tube and placing it in front of the step to act as a shield. If I can get my act together I'll do it.
I have similar ones I use around the driveway.Like John, Got mine at HD on black Friday sale years ago. Works perfect ,highly adjustable for any location, stores nicely against the tailgate if you have a load without taking up hardly any space. Us old farts just keep on trucking.
In Tennessee rarely and issue but for maybe a day every 5 years, but I remember those frozen blocks of ice from my time in Wisconsin. Hard and a bowling ball when they fell off. I think a stiff rubber flap might help. Just large enough to block some. From my install, should be some spots to maybe wire tie on for a test run. Share pics when covered in snow.
Wow, at those prices I can hire the kid down the street to pick me up, and sit me in the bed for a lot cheaper.
He would probably do it for beer.Wow, at those prices I can hire the kid down the street to pick me up, and sit me in the bed for a lot cheaper.
