I'm close to pulling the trigger on these. I wear a size 15 work boot, will there be enough room on the step for me? Or should I look more into the Rhino R10 boards?

I'm loving mine

Front step is a little over 15" wide, rear is over 11" wide (I don't remember the exact dimension from my research). Getting in and out, I have yet to literally put my entire foot on the step tread. I think you'd be fine, but I would suggest finding a retail source for these and take a look at them first given your shoe size.

15” wide or long?
15" wide (parallel to the truck) 4" deep (perpendicular to the truck)

Well I saw I truck around town with the RB20s and that did it for me. Ordered them the other day and installed them today. Ran into a small problem with the rocker threaded holes being full of crap and started to strip the bolts. I stopped and then ran and grabbed a tap to clean up the threaded holes (worked like a charm). Install was pretty straight forward and easy. Still debating where front to back I want to end up with the boards, but happy for now. eb3b22a249f025039117f46b08f1010f.jpgf2116666959735cbffa1c2e6d92ed322.jpg55ee604127dda58dda8f50d8935a3221.jpg

Installed N-Fab Podium LG’s

But then noticed this on the right side step after removing the packing material after install;

Needless to say N-Fab has already received an email. We’ll see how this goes.

I was looking at getting a set of these. Now that you've had them awhile, do you still like and recommend? What did you end up doing with the blemishes?

Sorry in the delay to reply, I was out of town.  I really like them and glad I went with the Podium LG’s.  Easy install and no problems with the replacement set.  N-Fab Customer Service was great in the return process.  I did have to wait a couple of weeks for the replacements because they were out of stock.  It wasn't that big of a deal since I still had the blemishes on.  The blemishes were returned.

How much did it run you? Where did you get it?

I ordered them directly through N-Fab's website.

 

https://n-fab.com/podium-steps

 

They were $464 when I ordered them.  I checked with a local dealer before I order them and they wanted around $150 to install.  Like I said in my post, easy install which I completed on my driveway without jacking up the truck.

I appreciate the response and hope you had fund recharging the batteries. lol

Great to hear that about the CS as that's a big pet peeve of mine, as most are going downhill.  Once last question, are the steps themselves about the same height as the factory running boards or are they a little lower?

 

Appreciate the feedback. Thanks!

Truck came without factory boards, so I don't have a reference point.  I just went out and measured, the bottom of the step tube hoop is 10" from the ground on the front step and 10.5" from the ground on the rear step.  I have a stock extended cab with no lift or level.

 

Hope this helps

Appreciate it. Mine's been raised a little from Bilstein adjustable shocks and bigger rear blocks, so I am in the same boat on the measurement, because mine already sits higher. lol I was just curious as I am putting a 5" bracket suspension lift and was curious for my shorter girlfriend. Thanks again.

Quick question :

Are these running boards the ones for the crew cab Sierra 1500? I believe they are since there are 4 mounting brackets and it's 82 inches long.

    • 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?
