I built a set for my 2001. Real easy, tons of threads here about them but here are some photos of mine. I made them out of 1.5" sch 120 pipe.

I haven't seen caltracs for the 2nd gens mostly 3rd gens. If you don't make your own, Tuff Country has a set for around $360

Nice work. I always enjoy making something rather than buying. A buddy of mine has some homemade ones like those and they hold up pretty well.
