Yea I wouldn't mind a few small dents for some free steps either! At least they tried to make it right and ended up refunding. How about the quality and fitment? I saw some reviews that said the rail type I am looking at are pretty heavy and the boxes came beat up, but no damage to the steps. Those reviews were from a year or two ago though. Depending on when you got yours, maybe they have started packing them better?

I installed Amp Research Power Steps on my GMT900 recently and will never own another truck without them.

Honestly my box looked fine, thats why I was shocked when I saw the dents. The dents were in the same spot on both boards, so I am assuming that something fell on them at the warehouse. The fitment was spot on, no issues there. The quality, outside of damage, has been good. I added them probably around the beginning of September 2016. I thought about buying there bed cover just because their customer service was really good and not hesitant about refunding my money.

Ebay $170 shipped stepside bars. Lets see how long they last. Weather is not bad down here in South Texas so not too worried on that side.

Are there any running boards/ nerf steps that bolt to the frame/ body mounts. Are the ones that bolt to the rockers to straining on the rockers?

I went with Raptor 4" oval black and had them and the brackets coated with bed liner material when I had the bed sprayed. Even though Raptor has a 10 year warranty, I didn't want to take chances with flaking etc.

I'm thinking the same thing. Most "go fast shops" (step tube and tonneau peddlers) around here are pushing the rocker mount.

WOW these look great, esp for $170 shipped. Probably wouldnt cost much to get them coated in liner to make them rust proof either. Do you have a link to the seller? thanks!!

Tyger is a great company -- I did buy their bed cover and it's been great for something like $110 when i bought it off of ebay. Took me all but 10 minutes to install, and doesn't leak at all. Glad to hear they stand by their product. It blows my mind that people will drop $2,000 on a bed cover. That's just silly in my opinion. but to each their own I suppose!

This is the one I went with and WOW did it go up in price from when I bought it! I bought the 5.8ft version of it of course

Yeah. It has stayed around $220. Been watching it for 6 months now. I will probably get the tri-fold. Thanks for the input. Good to hear it holds up for the price.

Here are some links:

 

This one is of the seller whom I bought from. Currently the price is at $209 but he occasionally drops the price a bit.

Or you can order from this other one who carries the same ones at $190 all the time.

^Ordering those step bars today thanks @asalinasz39 !!

 

They have the look of the N-fabs, and theyre cheap enough that line-x coating them to make them rust and slip proof STILL ends up cheaper than N-fabs or Dee Zee NXT's!

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
