Move Bumpers has just come out with a DIY step kit that uses the pierced metal treads instead of slippery-as-snot diamond plate or plastic pads that most companies use. Got me thinking they'd look very nice on my 1500HD crew cab but I'm hesitant to drop $500 on something I've never seen and that I have to weld together, paint or powder coat, etc.

I've never heard of anyone using any of their products, but they do look rather popular. An email to them was returned quickly and provided the attached drawings. They steps mount to the cab mounts and only have a 300# weight limit. Not at all sure exactly how much welding will be required, but as long as I can use a stick on it, I should be good. I might even be able to beef it up a bit with some gussets or brackets. Maybe tie it more strongly to the frame by adding a plate that I can bolt through an existing whole. No idea, really, since I can't see them in person.
The only reason I'm interested is because of the tread. The pierced steel isn't slip proof, but it's a far sight better than diamond plate and allows for mud and dirt to wash through.
Still a lot of questions though.
