Does anyone know what Bolt is used on the OEM steps? I've got a set, but no bolts.

If they mount like my old ones did they use the stock body bushing bolts.

M8 x 30mm. You will need u-nuts for each of the bolts.....(at least I did on my double cab). Very simple install.

Quality bumper has a 20% off all order coupon and no tax if you're not in AZ. Got mine from them with 15% off awhile ago. Great customer service. Give them a look.

Just used this site to order my AMP Research bars. Got 20% off my order, no tax and free shipping! Cheapest i have see so far! So thank you for that!

Forgot about the free shipping. It all adds up nicely. Glad it worked out. :cheers:

Installed my Iron Cross HD Steps today... Very pleased... I will do a separate install write-up

 

Looks great! Too bad they don't make them for a regular cab. How are they getting out?

How long did it take you guys to receive your n-fab nerf bars?

 

I called on my order and all he could tell me was that it was 10-15 business days to process the order prior to being shipped... kind of turned off from even suggesting them to anyone in the future. If I would have known this, I probably would of just paid an extra $30-40 and went with ebay as opposed to direct from n-Fab.

 

It's basically going to be 4-5 weeks before I see my steps. Ordered them on Dec. 19, I'll post up some pics and date when they get in. :throwup:

I ordered mine from 4 wheel parts and it took the same time for mine but worth it I like them, I'm sure the ones on eBay have the wait also.

I have seen several post from you guys using Raptor bars and wanted to see if you still like them and if there are any quality issues.

 

I ordered a set of gorhino 4" oe extreme sidesteps in SS but received them damaged. The quality didn't seem to great either (showed welds on end caps). They are going back tomorrow and want to order something else asap.

 

Thanks for any help.

The Raptor stainless finish is flawless...especially the "blended" end caps - they are not plastic or insert caps like some... truly a seamless look with no visible welds!. They are imported (what isn't any more) and the bars use a variety of different mounts to fit various trucks. If you want the look of chrome with the durability of stainless, then these are for you... very impressed with mine.

 

I ordered 5" oval Magnum Raptors from Running Board Warehouse / Auto Customs with FedEx delivery in days - not weeks. We are happy with the deal and the look ... at roughly half the price of the factory steps - which were not available in stainless. They use body bolt mounting brackets and the middle bracket also has an additional U-bolt attachment brace to the rocker panel / lower rail for a nice solid feel. I doubt that I'll need the lifetime warranty, but it is there.

Any pics of them installed

Nothing up close and the truck is parked in the garage for the winter with a car snuggled up right next to it. (That plus I am so new here that I haven't figured out how to upload a photo to a posting on this site - apparently not as easy as some). The on-line photos are accurate, however.

If you are on tapatalk:

In the bottom left there should be a "+", press that and then click on the mountain looking icon which is a picture, your phone should ask if you would like to allow tapatalk access to your photos, click "yes" or "allow" and then choose your photo

OR

You could download the photobucket app and then upload you pictures to that and then you can copy and paste a link to here

 

If you are on a desktop/laptop/using the desktop version of the site on phone or tablet:

 

I know the photobucket method will still work, but not sure about how else to do it from a computer as I just always use tapatalk.

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
