Looking for some black running boards for my double cab, anyone have some suggestions?

 

 

I think this is my favourite topic right now because I just went through this haha.

 

I get my new GM nerf bars tomorrow.

 

I was looking at N-Fab and Rough Country before but too many comments on rust showing up.

You beat me to it but I was going to say there's a whole thread on here about Nfab rusting within a month. Apprently the powder coat is super thin.

86" Deezee NXT. I added the pieces at the front to stop rock chips on the front doors.

Nothing a coating of Line-X couldn't fix, but then you should just get a different brand like I decided on. The GM ones look like they have a very thick coat.

Tyger brand. Picked them up through Amazon Warehouse Deals for $135. Normally they're $157 so that's not bad either. Had them on for a month and love them. 2b7217ede8845b4582af42b760da3d97.jpg5f8735600f23c318028dcf49bcb3a6ff.jpga50fc6005e5e165fd7f323b0dceb6625.jpg

I have these. https://www.realtruck.com/luverne-grip-step-running-boards/

If you park outside in a winter region, do outdoor activities or just don't want to fall on your a$$ due to snow and ice accumulation on boards these work.

Get the frame mount type not rocker panel mount. :happysad:

I like those but they're pretty pricey. If I want better traction, I'll get some black grip tape and put it on the elevated sections of mine.

Won't help much. Fills with snow, ice. :happysad:

I think it would in my case...would just be a matter of using your foot to wipe off extra snow and expose the grip tape below. I loved in Buffalo NY for most of my life so I can imagine the conditions being any worse elsewhere. Either way, I don't think it's worth the extra few hundred dollars for the metal grate style ones.

I have the magnum RT steps. I love them. Adjustable for how low you want them. I have them sucked up under the body. They are very sturdy. Only thing I have an issue with is the very front where the point is, my tires rub on them at full lock in reverse. I am going to trim the points down to clear the tires. Those are the only 2 pics I have of them.

Go Rhino RB10's

 

4 mounting points and sits high and tight. I'm 250lbs and they don't flex a bit.

I live in Colorado and spend time outdoors. These are the best for footing.

One fall could cost more than a few hundred dollars IMO. :happysad:

    • Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.
    • Better than stock but that's like putting lipstick on a pig
    • Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks, 
    • Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.   
    • So, lot's of googling and reading, and a trial fit found, that indeed they hit the newer fatter caliper. I did some re-testing today, and found just 3/16" worth of washers was enough for the wheel to spin freely. I added 2 more on each, and again it spun freely. Tested lock to lock with the 4 washers, about 5/16" not quite the 3/8" Im considering, but pretty close. No issues. I've been looking at the BORA .375" spacers and using extended lugnuts to get back lost thread due to the spacer. All the ET lugs I've seen are all .33" reach inside the wheel lug holes. For those that don't like spacers or think they're unsafe, I think it depends on what type of spacers you're using and making sure you get good quality hubcentric ones, and if you're using bolt on ones, regular mainenance, checking the spacer lugs. Not wanting or needing that much spread. Looking for the minimum that will let me run these rims and tires.  it does look to stick out a little, but I really want put these on. and use the stock all-terrains in the winter.
