Just added the amp power steps this past weekend man they look awesome and work great!  Will post pics when I get a chance.  It's nice how big the step is vs a narrower tube step.


I have them on my truck and I love them. All of my trucks will have them from now on.

Just added my steps as well. It makes it much easier getting in and out with 6.5 inch lift, especially for us older folks :) and looks much better too..

Yes!  Totally agree with everyone they make it much easier getting into, especially now that I'm just over 40 lol!  The funny thing is, I've had lots of lifted trucks in the past and only one of them had the regular tube bumper style steps and it was big, running 38s so I needed them, but the others I just leaped up in there, kinda grabbing the steering wheel as leverage haha.  This new truck is too nice, I wanted to make it easy for both myself and passengers to climb right in!

Looks good, i too want to color match my door handles and mirrors along with some amp steps as i never liked the chrome blocks that come with these trucks. Love how they tuck away as i don't like the looks of any step bars really, but i love having the step lol.

Are those 20x10s?  I'm about to switch from these 20x9 Fuel Assaults that came on my truck to Fuel 20x10s, yours has a nice stance!

Yes. 20x10 - 18 offset on Fuel D611 wheels

Nice!  I'm looking at 20x10 -24 Fuels, so should be about the same look, hoping they don't stick too far out.

I stick out about 2 inches with - 18. GMC truck are not very forgiving with tire and wheel clearance unless you have alot of lift.  I dont rub at all except in reverse at full lock and it's barely. I will be going with 35x 12.50 from my 305/55 soon so I expect a little modification will be needed.

I know I’ve posted my truck but I’m sitting here scrolling though the site with my little human and she told me to show her “tall truck” because it’s like all these nice trucks. Haha  This was her Christmas present this past December unfortunately it’s a GMC and not a Chevy lol  but I took the black Denali and completely  disassembled and prepped it and my good friend Anthony color matched it and then I fab’d a mini 7 inch lift kit for it and hit it with a close candy. Did the same with the custom wheels and tires. She thinks she’s pretty slick and it’s actually pretty quick for battery power and it’s see’s a lot of off road time in the front yard. Hahaha

    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
