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....

      I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Zane · Posted

      It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

      My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
