I'm not a fan of running boards but they can make it a lot easier to get in the truck, especially with a level and larger tires. I actually like the look of the RB10's but how do you like them in use? They're so close to the height of the truck do they make it easier to get in and out or do they just get in the way?

RB10's on my truck have been great we do get a lot of snow and i wanted something to protect the paint on my truck from all the salt and sand. My only complaint so far is when the snow builds up on them they will rattle against the body of the truck. much easier to get in my truck with them. I have a Rouch Country 2.5 inch kit on mine.

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

Put my RB10's on this weekend. They're big, and stick out a lot on my leveled Z71. They look good, but I'll have to decide if I can stand banging my leg on them. My wife on the other hand loves them.

Both getting in and out... I'm 6'2" and don't need them. I bought them from a guy here selling them used for $375. I will take new pictures soon, I'm running the following LED's on the front:

 

Putco Nite-Lux low beam LED's

LEDIN 2x CREE XR-E LED fogs

SHANREN 42" Curved 240W LED Light Bar

Thank You. I'm also 6'0" - thought they would save the seats a little ?

I'm not sure, either I'm not used to using them, or they stick out too far. I have only had them on since Saturday.

I am a little of 6' tall and have always hated steps but I got the RB10's cuz my lady is shorter and I wanted to save my seats. If I did not have the driver assist handle installed I could see how I would bang my knee getting in and out. I make sure to alwasy place my foot on the step then grab the handle lol. I have not yet had a problem with them on about a month now. Did you guys install a drivers assist handle?

There's a thread I posted to a while back, but basically, I removed the grill, and mounted it through the standoffs at the bottom of the grill.

Guys can anyone shed some light on the required torque when mounting to a rocker panel?

 

I've got a pair of Westin ovals I'm looking to slap on and manufacturer is claiming 15-20 ft/lbs torque on the upper nuts.... I am curious if anyone actually reached that number? Seems a bit high to me???? no?? I'm working with a freshly calibrated torque wrench so i'm confident in my numbers when the time comes.

 

Just don't want to go to tight....

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
