HAS ANYONE...... (GEN 3)

[Fullerrj]

Has anyone removed their steps from the sides on the gen 3?
I'm thinking about it but would like an idea of the look.
(most likely not replacing them with sliders)

On a side note I've got some rattling coming from the rear of the vehicle.
only in reverse and not every time.
its pretty loud and I can't seem to find anything loose.
Any Thoughts?

I have not seen them just removed, but there are pictures with rock rails on Rocky-Road's website.

If it is a metallic rattling/rasping noise, then check the outer metal casings/heat shields on the exhaust. The ones on my muffler tend to rattle at certain low speeds.

I think this is what you are looking for.

That doesn't look too bad...
I'll probably do both of those things this afternoon.
Thanks for the quick response!

There are several folks on the forum that have done the plastic removal surgery, the paint is usually a little suspect underneath and you'll have some little holes to fill in but it's a pretty easy and nice looking mod.

Yeah I'm gonna give it a go.
I've been reluctant to post photos of my stock Monty, but I may, post removal.
Thanks all for the responses.

I took mine off a couple weeks ago. No pics online right now. Take one off, if you don't like it put it back. I have an 03 XLS. on each side there was a black plastic piece that hung down at the rear of the steps. A sharp knife and 2 minutes time the plastic pieces were gone.

This is on my list. Plastic and running board delete. Would be cool if you post tips and pics. Good luck! Does not look difficult just labor and time.

I'm an overachiever sometimes. It would probably be OK to close the holes with Bondo.

Any of you 03-06 plastiectemy guys have any of the pieces laying around?
