I picked up a set of the 5" raptor magnums I have never installed nerf bars on a truck before. Anyone put these on their '14 yet? they are rocker mount FWIW.

 

I tried searching the forum with no luck so any tips for a smooth install?

 

Thanks!

I installed Amp Research Power Steps on my GMT900 recently and will never own another truck without them.

are 3" nerf bars too small for my 2014 Silverado tungsten double-cab (2LZ w/ 20" chrome wheels)? or would 4" bars work better? going with Innovation Creations wheel-to-wheel, stainless steel for sure, just can't decide on size ... thanks!

There are so many nice step bars on the market for different prices. I had the 3" nerf bars on my 2002 Silverado and they worked fine. On my 2008 I got the 4" nerf bars and liked the look better. I just saw them at the dealers on the 2014 Silverado and 2014 Toyota Tundra with the 3" nerf bars and it was okay. I personally like the looks of the 4" but that is just a matter of choice. Just looks a little bit more beefer.

Can you show a full side view to see how discreet they look? Sent from my DROID RAZR HD

 

Here is the side view of my truck with the Bestop Powerboard NX. You can barely see them to be honest. They look a bit red in the picture because of the lighting/reflection.

Yeah thanks, saw them. I should have been more explicit, am interested to see some close ups of the fitment. As well a full side profile when they are closed as well as down. Want some, and will likely do them with the optional stainless trim pieces to line up/compliment the side chrome moldings on my '14 Sierrra.

Did you have to put spacers to get them even? The back of my powerboards are right up against the bottom of the truck, but the front is down maybe a 1/2 inch. Hard to see but annoys me regardless.

Can someone provide instructions for the 6" rectangular running boards for the crew cabs? Mine did not come with any instructions. Thanks! Feel free to PM me instead.

Found a steal on some N-Fab Wheel-to-Wheel steps on craigslist brand new for $150. They were for a CCLB so I just cut the end off even with the factory rear mud flap and you'd never be able to tell

Baggedvintegra, Can you please post a pic from the side. I really like those steps but would love to see a side view. Also where did you get them?

 

Thanks in advance

Says in his post he got them off Craigslist. They are made by NFAB.

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
