Anyone have any opinions on either the Aries 4" oval or the Raptor 4" oe ovals? Think I've narrowed it down between those two.

I just ordered the N-Fab bed assist (3 steps) today from Autoanything and they knocked $50.00 off of listed $450.00 price. I used to not like how the steps looked now I think their the best looking (tough truck) ones out there. It's weird how our thinking changes once we are the ones selecting.

Pleased with Autoanything from past purchases plus these will be on by doorstep no later than Thursday.

I've got the same ones on my truck! I love them. In my opinion, they are by far the best looking nerf bars for our trucks

I have the same ones on mine, but less than a year of being installed there is rust bubbling up from under the paint. NFab will replace as part of the warranty, they were very helpful, the only thing is that you are stuck paying the shipping back. And for me it doesnt make sense to pay little over $125 to ship them back to houston when im already in houston, but they wont allow me to drop off in person instead of shipping them.. i bought them for the decent cost and quick delivery, (from seller on ebay, actual store not individual) now i need to decide what to do...

 

For the additional cost of shipping them back i can pay i think it was an additional $30 so for around $155 or so i can have them blasted and re-powdercoated.

 

Mine were not the full length with 3 steps, they are the 2 step ones that stop before the bed, and they ran right under $400 when i bought them..

I'm having the same problem with mine. I have offset wheels and live off gravel so my paint is looking pretty crappy on them. I don't even want to think about how much they'd be to ship back from mid Missouri if it's 125 for you

If you are considering, the rep i spoke with at NFab stated stand alone the hardware alone is 80lbs, now i didnt clarify with him, so cant honestly say if that is 80lbs boxed up or just the pieces before boxing, i had asked because i didnt want to uninstall them to go around town getting quotes to box and ship, the shipping i stated above was based on finding a box to hold them and adding about 8lbs just for the packing material to make sure it was safe. Fedex here requires atleast 2" of material on each side between the item and box wall, ask me how i know ;) Had to ship something expensive last year and i boxed it up myself and they wouldnt insure it for what i was asking unless i added more material.

Does anyone have the factory installed boards still?

 

I have a 2016 Silverado Crew Cab LT and looking to add them.

 

I'm not going for the "tough truck" look, this is a pavement queen.

 

Thoughts? http://autocustoms.com/p-738-ionic-voyager-running-boards.aspx

I ended up going with nerf bars for my LT. But if you do go the factory route, I would keep an eye out on craigslist for someone taking off theirs. Might be able to get them cheaper than the aftermarket ones.

I have not read through this whole thread but for those looking at Amp research, there is another company out there called Bestop Power Board http://www.bestoppowerboard.com/

 

 

 

Just throwing it out there - seems they might cost a bit less.

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • 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?
