2'/3' Chrome Hitch Step For Rear Of Vehicle

[OurZoo]

Does anyone have one of these for their Envoy or TB? I'm thinking of getting one and would love to see how it looks vehicle specific. I have a billet grille, chrome wheels, and chrome running boards. I think it would be a nice looking addition to the truck. Then again, it could be too much chrome? Please post any pics or give me your thoughts.

Take at look:

i think it would look nice. I was thinking about getting one for my moms TB so she can reach the roof when we she washes her car.

[OurZoo]

It does look nice! I was just checking out someones red Envoy on Car Domain that has it. But I realized the $$$ would be wasted b/c I could no longer see out of my rearview cam if i did it. It is custom mounted underneath the bumper several inches to the right. The camera could be mounted differently but I don't know if I want it all that bad. :confused:

[deathbynosleep]

yeah that would suck to have to replace something like that. I'm sure you'll find something though.

[Blulytes]

I used to have the black 36" go rhino bar.
Used to because my dumb next door neighbor forgot to set his parking brake and his car rolled into mine.
It saved my bumper cover, but beat up my bar.
Definately recommend getting the same size, not that little one.
Here's a decent pic from the back.

That matches your suv very well :yes:

On yours OurZoo, I think chrome would look good :m2:

[gravity]

yep got the same one , 26" 3" bar. looks good and comes in handy when waxing the roof of your truck :yes:

[02EnvoySLE Guy]

Wow, I like the look of that one you have Blulytes. Looks almost like it was made to fit between the two pillars on the TB back bumper. :cool:

[OurZoo]

I think chrome would look sweet, but it would get in the way of the rearview. Look:

That it neat, but with my big foot, I would be scared of slipping off, and face planting the rear window :duh:

All I usually do is get a little step stool out and use it to hoist myself up onto the rear bumper, and stand on the rubber/plastic pad. :m2: This fold-down step could be like a portable stool for you to use

[OurZoo]

You've got good taste. I've seen that one before. I'm considering that as well. Not sold on whether I like to have the ball, installed another hitch plug, or just nada. Thanks for all the suggestions so far.

[MoJoe]

You've got good taste.

Oh geez, you should not of told him that one :rotfl: :D

[02EnvoySLE Guy]

Oh geez, you should not of told him that one :rotfl: :D

:raspberry

BTW I'll snap a couple pics of what I just installed in mine tomorrow. :D

[Dacomputernerd]

I love the look of the "Go Rhino Receiver Hitch Step Bar 26" Chrome"

Its just the price is a little much because i am hear in canada and the exchange rate and shipping :(

Do you guys know where i could get this from a brick & morter store??


Thx in advanced :yes:

[Dacomputernerd]

if i order from driverFX.ca it will cost me $214.02 CDN after tax and shipping :( and thats a little too much for a hitch step :cry:

You know what? i think i will spring for it!! i will need somthing to tie in the front brush gurad that im getting to the rest of the car, and i think this will do it :D

[triz]

Heres is a few fom e-bay...the first is $48.64 $7.00 shipping 36"...I ordered one and it looks great not cheap looking...solid all around...no plastic caps at the ends like one that I have seen. If you order more than one its only an additional 2.00 per...more than ten and the shipping is free.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7986621885&category=33650&rd=1

The second one is $143.00 but its more a platform so you dont do the face plant into the window...but if its good for the dog in the pic then its good enough for you!! :laugh:

Which grille guard are you getting? Link? :confused:

Might be easier to find a match if I knew what I was looking for. :m2:

That second one is sweet. It rotates and all. I want to get something like that for my moms TB. Just remember to anyone that buys a hitch cover...go the extra 15 - 30 bucks to buy a hitch lock.

Unless, like mine, the cover doesn't take a lock OR a pin for that matter!! :undecided

[OurZoo]

I have the Twistep and love it. But I only put it on when I take my zoo to the park to play. I have to take out the stepstool to do a good job on the roof. That other one is great look for a great price!

I am hopeing(sp?) that i will get the "Westin Sportsman CPS grille guard" in chrome



Also Im set on the Go Rhino step because i dont think the one at this link would be able to withstand hits from other cars, and that is one of the reasons i am buying the step

You might want to see if you can get a westin catalog, I know they make side steps, and maybe would have a step for the rear of your truck that exactly matches the grille guard :m2:

Good idea! when i go to the truck toppers i'll ask if they have them. But i like the Go Rhino caz it looks like it was made just for the trailblazer

[02EnvoySLE Guy]

BTW as promised, here's the hitch cover I just bought:

(no pics from farther away until my bumper is fixed :o)

NICE! Thats real in-keeping with the lines of the Envoy.

Lol, poor bumper :(

Thanks.

Only thing so far I don't like is that it doesn't use a hitch-pin to attach to the reciever. I'm probably going to have to mod that. :m2:

That would be a good idea. I had a hidden hitch cover like that on my 2001 Impala (its lease was done and i got the TB) and someone stole my cover!

I have that first one from E-bay for $48.64 and like I said so far so good...when I park at my moms house there is literally no arking and people try to fit anywhere. So I'm sure its been banged up and its holding up fine.

[02EnvoySLE Guy]

What happend to your bumper?

It got backed into by some moron with a trailer hitch while sitting parked at work. The damage is over by the backup light; I've gotta replace the whole skin now. :duh:

There must be some difference in quality, the Go Rhino is $200+ CDN after tax and delivery.

Im sure the one mentioned from Ebay is less quality, it would end up being like $85+ CDN after tax and delivery.

I need somthing that ppl can almost slam into and it might scratch a lil but wreak there front bumper :D :yes: :D

Do you guys think the Go Rhino would be able to withstand a... lets say 10mph hit?

[Blulytes]

Absolutely....

I will take a pic of my bar tonight... pretty impressive with the amount of force it took when this guy hit me... messed up his Audi, only twisted the bar alittle and flattened the bottom.

KK thats exactally what i want :D only the bar hurt a little and the other car with a big hole in the bumper LMAO!!

At what speed do you reccon the guy hit you at?

I would easily say about 8-10... I'll try to reconstruct the accident when I get home. But I will tell you it was loud enough to wake me up in the middle of the night.

I really got it for city parking... dumb people who try to fit into the smallest spots. I would rather have them hit that bar than my bumper.

Your lucky it was your cover.

I was at a Sonics game in 2001 when I still had my Jimmy. It was before I had ever had a problem and invested in a locking hitch pin, and so someone swiped my entire hitch, pin, and ball!! It cost me 50 bucks to replace it, but I spent about $10 more and got a locking pin. Never had a problem since, and I have a bowtie cover for my TB and it uses the locking pin, so I know someone would have to break it off to steal it. Now that I have seen the custom TB ones, I might have in get one eventually.

[OurZoo]

I had the Twistep on one night when I was on the freeway. We were going downhill and start/stop traffic. We all came to a short stop and a Jeep Liberty hit me probably at least 10 mph. Bent the bottom of the Twistep in one spot, but left a nice little kiss mark on the Li :D berty!

[Dacomputernerd]

LOL hahaha the jeep got "kissed" :D and you had no damage

Ok, so i definately get a locking pin then :yes:

[Blulytes]

Ask for pics... you get them...

I figured this guy to atleast be going 10 when he hit me.
He was driving (well, nobody was driving it) an Audi A4. Thats right... he got out of his car, and it rolled, driverless into my truck. His car was wedged underneath the rhino bar... pretty funny. He still has a hole in his bumper where the support bracket punctured his nice cover.

You can see the twist...
