Does anyone have any good leads on AMP plug n play running boards.  Id love a set of these, but at $1500, there is no way in hell I'm going to bite that bullet. 

 

Any vendors that have these for a good price?  Do they ever go on sale?  I see at some point AMP was doing a rebate on them, but that doesn't appear to be the case right now.

If anyone is looking for a set of RB10 running boards, I just got brand new ones for a double cab due to warranty and ended up trading the truck in. So I have a brand new set with brackets in Texas. Honestly, they're fantastic running boards.

Are they the 2 step version or single step?

Do you have pics

crap, i just noticed you stated double cab... :( since i lifted the truck, im looking for the 2 step version to make it a little easier to get in and out for my short friends and family.

Since im here, figured id ask, there was a set of RB boards, i think it was that fit snug up under the cab, but then had a smaller step under it like this:

Im not sold on this particular style, but i am looking for suggestions on a good set of boards that will help with a lifted truck

ICI Magnum RT Steps are kinda similar to that, got mine for around $300, cab length.

I like those, but that looks like just 1 step right? i mean if you were climbing stairs, that would be just 1 to climb, I had found one set of boards, and now i wish i would have saved the link or even the name, but it was 2 steps to get in, so you had a similar step like yours, but then above that you had a full cab length step so if anyone needed 2 steps, they could and not have to do one huge step. If i didnt have the lift, i would go with those or something similar.. Like the truck.. :)

Not sure if these were the ones i had looked at before, but similar to these is what im looking for(maybe these would be it)

I got mine installed today in South Florida for $1400. Dealer did it through a local shop. I asked the shop what it would cost to go direct to them and they told me $1900. Didn't make sense to me.

Got rid of the ugly purple LED pods that the AMP boards game with. Can't believe they supply them with such ugle lights.

Bought these on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B073ZGNDTC?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_yo_pop_mb_pd_t2

 

They were the only LED strips I could find with the 3M VHB adhesive tape. I like how they were enclosed inside a black rubber strip, so you can't see the LEDs unless you bend down and look under. They are extremely bright; brighter than what I wanted.

well after a little over a year and a half my RB10s have started peeling. I forgot to register with go rhino. Anyone have any experience getting them replaced?

Has anyone installed a set of the Go Rhino RB20s? was looking at these as a more minimalist approach and tossing the drop step onto the passenger side for the GF. Thanks.

Yes I installed those had the n-fabs but if your aiming is off you fall off so really liked the look of the go rhinos and would highly recommend them

    • Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir. 
    • I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.
    • I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed. 
    • Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day. 
    • Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
