APEX Series Rear Step Bumper - Steel - BACKLAND EXPEDITION GEAR

APEX Series Rear Step Bumper – Steel Rear Bumper Step for Mercedes Sprinter

Improve rear access and protect your Mercedes Sprinter with the APEX Series Rear Step Bumper. Designed for overlanding and camper van use, this heavy-duty steel step provides additional rear-end protection while lowering the entry height by more than 8 inches for easier access to your cargo area.
