I have the same boards mine chipped and peeled like hell. Had them sandblasted and powder coated. They look awesome now. Those pads pop off you just have to be careful.

Has anybody gone with Havoc HS2 Hoop Steps?  I have been looking at them and the N-Fab Podium LG's.  The reviews that I have read on the N-Fab's has been mixed.

I installed the Havoc steps on my truck shortly after I got it.  The jury is still out on them.  It's been a pretty harsh winter here so far and the last time I got a really good look at them they looked like they were rusting pretty bad.  I'll be able to tell better the next time I'm able to get it through a car wash.

 

I had the N-Fab hoops on my 2014 and really like them.  Only issue I had with them was, after 3+ years of being installed, rust was starting to appear where the hoop attached to the main tube.

Nfab and Havoc are made by the same company. When I contacted Havoc about the backorder on HS2's in December, they actually pointed me to the Nfab Podiums and said the two are the same step. I've heard of rust issues on both, and have seen rusty examples of both while looking for used sets.

 

I'm now leaning much more heavily towards Magnums or Westin HDX's due to the rust issue.

The N-fab rusting I saw on my 2014 was literally a hairline crack in the paint/powdercoat.  Had I kept that truck I would have fixed that and got another several years of life out of them. 

 

If the Havocs are in fact rusting, they're going back and I'll put another set of the N-fab's on my 2018.

Thanks for the feedback!  Shame that you're seeing rust already. 

 

I hear you on the harsh winter.  We just went over the 100 inches of snow mark here in Buffalo for the season.  Unfortunately NY uses salt on the roads and I really don't want to see the steps looking terrible after a season, so whatever I finally decide it won't be until the weather breaks.

Paint fell off with 1k miles left on my warranty. Should I get the warranty replacements line-X Ed? To keep this from happening again?19a482e913261a51de677810d56473ea.jpg

Just put the Amp steps on a couple weeks back and they are literally one of my favorite mods because they make everything easier.  Which totally help justify their cost in my head Haha

Nice - did you install yourself?

Not hard with basic hand tools. Took a couple of hours. I got the OBDll plug in version so your truck tells it when you open the door. Cool stuff haha

Thats good to know on the install. Maybe I will tackle this one myself. Thanks for solving the mystery - very cool indeed haha

Is there a way to tell if your buying the OBDII version?

    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.    
    • I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on. 
    • The average lifespan of automobiles on the road is increasing - here's why
    • Typically it is the Torque Converter, I have a 2.7L Trail Boss and between 25-65 MPH at 1300-1500 rpms under light throttle it has a shudder which I almost consider and bobble or a gargle sound. They replaced my TC but it did not help any, others say it has fixed their issues. It has been back twice now with no fix after.
    • Still $3.01 with even more places at this price
