SippiSierra

A buddy powder coated his, more of a matte black/gray. Man they look sharp and have held up well.

Over a year. Insane. Haha. The tires have been great, the lift is still fine. Wheels are stock snowflakes. Tire tread left is around 55% but I’ve put almost 48000 miles on them. Religiously rotating every 5000 miles.

Definitely get the warranty work done. I had mine (2014 Sierra) greased/lubed/cleaned/packed full of grease 3 times before they finally replaced them. Then the noise came back after about 4 months, soooo I just ended up with the rubber between mine. No noise at all after that and it has been a year or so.

I had my tracks replaced and it solved the issue. Has not returned in 20,000+ miles

Those are the exact instructions that I followed and install looks the exact same.

I figure once a year to not have to hear that damn clunk, clank, and pop is not a big deal.

I did redo the rubber. It was not worn out, had a couple minuscule tears in it but otherwise it was good to go. I had no noises like I had before. I just did it as "maintenance"

I did this as well. I put about 14000 miles on the truck this year and just redid them. Honestly they could have just stayed but I did it for peace of mind.

My 2014 does it as well. Just went out and tested it. I guess I never noticed it before but that is a pretty cool feature

Mine does it but only when it is hot as hell outside, living in Mississippi that is often. It is always one audible pop and then that is it. Although I will say just about every car I have had down here in the South has done it once summer comes around.

Great looking truck man.

I second this. I am looking into the Zone 4.5

Glad he is ok. I wonder if he is going to fall in love with the truck and want to do a trade! Maybe that was the dealer's thought process all along haha

I found the wired in AMP ones. I think I will be going with them. I agree with not drilling into my truck. I will find a way through existing wiring. Thank you for the help fellas

I ran a couple searches but could not come back with any reviews on the Bestop Powerboards. I have seen positive and negative online, about as much as I have for the AMP Research boards. I do not want to plug into the OBD-II port to control them so I was looking at Bestop since their boards are wired in and seem to run around $1,050 shipped. If anyone has had any experience with these first hand could you let me know your thoughts? Thank you!
