Interesting. Where's SweetK30? He was just looking for some of these.
right here but not giving them that much money for that. will build a set the way i want out of stuff i got laying around. might go 109-129 for a set. only cause thay rust out in 3-4 years up here in the salt belt.
Yeah...I posted that before I saw the price.
Sigh, I remember when Summit was selling the Smittybilt tubes for $90 + shipping.

The stainless versions shouldn't rust out. At least not for a very long time. I know the stainless tube steps dad is running on his 04 Ram don't show any signs of rust, and we dump a ton of salt on the roads here.
Hehehehehehe...road salt up here eats most nerf bars before the warranty is up on a new truck.
You may think they spread a lot of salt there...come to the rust belt and you'll cringe...

I don't think I could cringe much more than actually looking at all the rust that needs repaired on my Blazer. It looked fairly rust free when I bought it, mainly due to the amount of bondo stuffed into the holes. We may be west of the rust belt, but with the Great Salt Lake, and a ton of salt available, the trucks don't stop during the storms. Rust is one thing I definitely know about, it is why I will be finding a rust free tub next year to replace my body.

i agree u havnt seen rust till u live here
or anywhere in the northeast like maine! My friends 04 F*rd looks like it spent the last 4 years up to its rocker panels in the ocean. Coworkers 98 chevy 1/2 ton rusted so bad a rear shackle came apart on one side and the shackle bracket fell to pieces on the other.
Most people in the SW think of anything from the 90's on as a late model.
Up here you see 99+ Chevy's, 97+ Fords, and LOTS of '94-01 Rams with rust issues. I saw a Ram the other day where most of the front drivers' side fender is gone. You can see the firewall!

I quit, since this is way more rust than I currently have. Although that post you had above looks about like Dad's old Furd before we swapped bodies. You guys definitely have bigger rust issues than we do.
However, Stainless should not rust out, even with that amount of salt. The high nickel content should prevent rust for a very long period of time. I will stand by that unless you can show me a rotting Delorean.

I've actually seen one...
The problem is most "stainless" these days is pretty pathetic. My friend spent big bucks on the stainless steel exhaust under his truck about 5 years ago and it started rusting at the welds...and then deteriorated all along the metal.

That would be possible if they are making the stainless with less nickel. I never really thought about it that way. Although a rusting Delorean would be very interesting to say the least, since they were supposed to be impervious to rust.
There was one in Caledonia, MI, the town north of my hometown, when I was in HS and working in the mid-late 90's. I'd see it fairly regularly and it wasn't doing much other than sitting.
Sorta like aluminum it corrodes more than anything.
High quality stainless steel like are used in some of the stuff here at my job or in a firearm won't rust without a lot of causes but a lot of the crap out there in the vehicular aftermarket is closer to a bad chrome job than stainless steel.
