Any 3rd gens with retractable running boards?

AFAIK, there is no direct fit kit made. Has anyone installed aftermarket or used factory retracts on their '96-'02?

Mine is a 2002 SR5.

From what i have read here on other year trucks they are a PITA to get to operate correctly.

But has anyone done it? I think they are cool as hell. I want to put them on my '86 Ranger custom, too.

If you think they are "cool as hell" (oxymoron?) then just pull the trigger and get a set. Do you really need us to validate your decision? It's your truck. Go for it.

They're "something as hell" all right.
I wouldn't say cool.

Guys... I think he is just looking to see if anyone has made them fit. Not validation like some people are on here for...
