Mine came with the four inch round chrome ones. I like them better then the oval ones because they tuck in tighter..

You should look into the 4" bars from Iron Cross Automotive. They mount to the body mounts instead of the rocker panels they are marine grade stainless steel for than factory bars...

They are the factory ones and cost $675 according to my window sticker. Very solidly mounted with four mounting points per side into the rocker panels.

Took my six inch ovals off (pictured in signature photo)and replaced them with AMP's

I was going to get the painted molded mud flaps like you have, but they would get destroyed on the roads I drive. Had to go with the good old gator backs from GM. Also going to keep my big oval sidesteps, as the paint is more protected from all the crappy highways and gravel I drive on.

 

I did notice they are better quality than the 6 inch chrome ovals I had installed on my '13 from factory. More solid, and a better finish. The ones on my '13 had surface corrosion and bubbling on them after less than a year. I mainly just have the side steps to protect the paint, they work well for that.

I'm not sure I'll keep the painted mud flaps, still debating. I primarily installed them because they were a gift. I'm actively looking for an alternative.

 

The OEM boards were decent, I like the look of the AMP power boards better, that and I couldn't beat the price.

Finally got some pics up, no more bulky running boards sticking out and the AMP power steps work great. I Also got my new ATX Ledge wheels installed as well which i think turned out well and contrasts with the chrome accents of the denali and the Iridium Metallic color.

 

How do the powersteps hold up to snow / ice / salt conditions??

Wondering if they have a tendency to ice up and not open?

I was wondering if someone with factory 4 inch round nerf bars has end caps on them ...I just ordered a set and got home and opened box and ends are wide open...was wondering if they were suppose to come with end caps...thanks

My biggest complaint about the factory bats is how they Mount to the truck. They Mount to the rocker panels. The midst sturdy way is to Mount them to the body mounts. Iron Cross has 4" stainless ones that are cheaper and mount to the body mounts. I love them!

Mounting them to the rocker panels is fine. Mine are plenty sturdy and mount in four places which looks sturdier then the old fashion ones.

Sorry I don't trust them long term. A couple years down the road and a couple salty winters those rocker panels will weaken right up...

Sierra Crew 6" Chrome 20990095

 

Can anyone tell me if these will fit the new 2014 Sierra. They came off of a 2012 2500 Duramax Crew Cab.

 

I can get them for a pretty good price.

 

Thanks

    • I understand that. The price is what it is, though. The price is what oil costs today, where our choices have led us, where supply is, and where demand is, in the market that is. Speculation is for futures, what we think the price will be, but with incomplete information at the time the price is forecast. I know you know this, but you appear to be intent on making a secondary point here about what you think the market could or should be, if only other choices.   In 1975 it became illegal to export US Crude. I'm conflicted on what the best answer is. Free markets allow export in pursuit of profit. But there is also a lot to gain by producing and consuming our own oil here. How do you reconcile it?
    • That sir is a choice. And even if it were not for all the reasons stated, this disruption has zero to do with the reality of the actual logistics and everything to do with the greed of SPECULATION. Spot price is irrelevant to reality. 
    • What I think you're saying is there is supply here at home, and in Venezuela, and we could ease pricing if only it were favorable to do so.   Well, yes?   But that's not the current market. Supply isn't what could someday exist, if only, it's what producers are willing to produce and sell at a certain price point.   The national price of single family homes would come way down if we'd just slap together a few million homes this summer.   RAM and GPUs would get a lot cheaper if we just set up some factories to produce a bunch more and stopped using it to build out AI data centers.    
    • The turn signal/multifunction switch is faulty.  I've seen a few of these go bad at work.  
    • I am experiecing the same issue, I have gone in the setting and disabled rain sensing function but I am still experiencing this. Whe i use my turn signal they will redomly turn on. Sometime they stay on and others times we swipe 2 or 3 times and stop. Its super anoying, escpecially after a fresh wash. Anyone have any advice? . rain-sensing function, but I am still experiencing this issue Sometimes they stay on, and other times we swipe 2 or 3 times and stop.It's super annoying, especially after a fresh wash.When I use my turn signal, they will randomly turn on.
