Mine came with the four inch round chrome ones. I like them better then the oval ones because they tuck in tighter..

You should look into the 4" bars from Iron Cross Automotive. They mount to the body mounts instead of the rocker panels they are marine grade stainless steel for than factory bars...

They are the factory ones and cost $675 according to my window sticker. Very solidly mounted with four mounting points per side into the rocker panels.

Took my six inch ovals off (pictured in signature photo)and replaced them with AMP's

I was going to get the painted molded mud flaps like you have, but they would get destroyed on the roads I drive. Had to go with the good old gator backs from GM. Also going to keep my big oval sidesteps, as the paint is more protected from all the crappy highways and gravel I drive on.

 

I did notice they are better quality than the 6 inch chrome ovals I had installed on my '13 from factory. More solid, and a better finish. The ones on my '13 had surface corrosion and bubbling on them after less than a year. I mainly just have the side steps to protect the paint, they work well for that.

I'm not sure I'll keep the painted mud flaps, still debating. I primarily installed them because they were a gift. I'm actively looking for an alternative.

 

The OEM boards were decent, I like the look of the AMP power boards better, that and I couldn't beat the price.

Finally got some pics up, no more bulky running boards sticking out and the AMP power steps work great. I Also got my new ATX Ledge wheels installed as well which i think turned out well and contrasts with the chrome accents of the denali and the Iridium Metallic color.

 

How do the powersteps hold up to snow / ice / salt conditions??

Wondering if they have a tendency to ice up and not open?

I was wondering if someone with factory 4 inch round nerf bars has end caps on them ...I just ordered a set and got home and opened box and ends are wide open...was wondering if they were suppose to come with end caps...thanks

My biggest complaint about the factory bats is how they Mount to the truck. They Mount to the rocker panels. The midst sturdy way is to Mount them to the body mounts. Iron Cross has 4" stainless ones that are cheaper and mount to the body mounts. I love them!

Mounting them to the rocker panels is fine. Mine are plenty sturdy and mount in four places which looks sturdier then the old fashion ones.

Sorry I don't trust them long term. A couple years down the road and a couple salty winters those rocker panels will weaken right up...

Sierra Crew 6" Chrome 20990095

 

Can anyone tell me if these will fit the new 2014 Sierra. They came off of a 2012 2500 Duramax Crew Cab.

 

I can get them for a pretty good price.

 

Thanks
