Assist Steps / Running Boards / Nerf Bars
Swazimoto replied to Cholt2322's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
Funny first side steps i have ver found to actually be useful. I have been stepping over every other design for years. The OEM w/ AT are much better than most as I used them 70% of the time before going with the AMP. Now I use the step every time even with giant snow boost on. -
I am in process of blacking out my 2014 Sierra Crew Cab. I have the chrome window trim at the moment. I see GM sells the Chrome for $450 and the Black plastic for $185. I am hoping I can find someone that wants to make a trade plus some cash. Or... you have black takes offs and already have chrome installed I'll but them direct and sell my chrome take offs separately.

You can connect the handle w/o removing the door panel. All you need is a Torx 20 screwdriver and some 10lb or stronger fishing line. You can double up lighter line if it's all you have. Let me know if interested I can explain more or find the post that taught me. -
Issues with parking sensors

Mine do this after a washing and it is cold outside. After a night in the heated garage it goes away. -

I took mine off, 8 bolts attach to the vehicle on each side. They are incredibly solid and are made from stainless. I am referring to the ones that come with the AT package. If I didn't need additional clearance I would have left them on. They are way more solid than any tube designs that only mount front and back.... I compared side by side on 2014 trucks at a local customizer. Everyone there agreed. Attached is a picture of mine when I removed them. You can see the U mount slots on the bracket. They also have another that directly up into the rocker from the bottom. -

They are just as advertised... perfect! I used the every time I get in and out. I can't say that about any previous step. Im only 6 ft tall but I have found myself with all previous truck and step combination skipping the step sometimes. This is truly convenient for me! The other thing that is unique is that they drop far enough that you can easily use them with winter boots. The big bulky kind you wear in -15F boots. I am so happy that I have almost forgotten about how expensive they are... even after getting an amazing deal! -

Got them installed, I couldn't be happier with the work. They are perfectly level across the truck. I am surprised how quiet they are too. All panels are secure and you'd never know the carnage they just went through! I am also happy to report that these actually sit nestled against the truck and are very protected. The install took a certified professional (whom was as anal as me) 5 1/2 hours of dedicated install time. He said the last years models took 3 hours for reference and he's done 2014's regular cab in 3 1/2 hours. It would be very unlikely to hit these when off roading with how they are tucked up. It is really hard to get pictures. It is -15 out so I had to take them in the garage. I'll take some better ones tomorrow at the station if we don't go fishing. For now these two will have to do. -

I'd like to manually drop them for washing and drying etc.... If you use the manual override where you force it down while closing the door they cycle every time a door is open or closed. Its annoying and they get dirty and wet every cycle so you need them down for a while. I always wash my door jams and tend to open and close the door a bunch during a detail. -

I took my OEM's off today. That was easy enough... I think I'll install these myself. I'm so picky I'll end up redoing it if i don't. I just can't decide if i'm going to install a up down switch. I am considering putting a three stop switch that will allow me to set them down, normal, or off. What a great deal! Thank you KRC!!! -

+1 AMP Research. I thought I should throw this out there. The factory 6 inch provide a ton of protection against debris from your front tires. That is why they are full of snow and other road mess. I'll be watching this thread closely. I am going to sell my factory chrome steps because I want all black ones. I am worried about losing the protection from them so I am not positive I'll do the AMP yet. -
Thanks! I'll take some of mine today too to compare.
