That's one cool gravity-defying truck.  You must live down-under.

Thanks man it turned out well. Spent 30 minutes screwing with the pics but couldn’t flip em and gave up

Finally got my 2020 LTZ Z71 that I ordered before the strike. It was love at first sight haha ? I’ve only had it for 4 days, and I have installed running boards and rubber bed mat, and ordered a tonneau cover. I had intended on doing a level and different tires, but it looks pretty darn good as is. I got some cheaper running boards, but they turned out good. They look nice with the chrome theme of the LTZ.

Name of those running boards? I like how they low profile and don’t stick out much.

Ionic Automotive 41 series.  $250.  I just ordered some myself!

I see someone already answered, but thought I’d chime in. 
 

I like them a lot. They look good with the chrome theme LTZ. I’m about 220, and they seem plenty sturdy for me. The chrome edge ties into the chrome door handles, window trim, and mirror caps really nicely. I took a chance ordering them because the Ionic 51 that I wanted was out of stock, so I chatted with Running Board Warehouse, and they steered me toward the 41 series. 
 

Edit: You can slide them in or out to your preference. I have the driver side tucked in more than passenger side. I’m still trying to decide which side I like better.

Thanks guys, I’ll check them out.  I have an slt which came with the chrome wheel to wheel running boards which look too long and out of place. Kinda like someone putting crew cab boards on an extended cab truck. I think ford has the best looking factory boards. Maybe someday they will figure out how to mold steps into the frame/ body, for a flush clean look.

If you go to runningboard warehouse website and look up the ionic 41 brite, they actually have a SLT x31 as one of their examples.

I was just on there and they have this truck with the ionic gladiators also, which look good too, now I can’t decide. They both have the tight low profile look.

Haha, I feel your pain. The Ionic 61s also looked pretty good to me. The 61s would probably look pretty good since they have black end caps, and the Sierras have the black around the fenders...

Lol I think I’ll have to flip a coin.

So the transformation of my AT4 is complete.  First was the addition of some 20' Raceline Raptor Wheels and a set of Toyo Open Country R/T 33" tires. Then came the addition of a Retrax Pro Bed Cover. And finally... a 4" BDS Lift Kit added to the 2" factory lift along with upsized 35" Toyo Open Country R/T tires.  Looks great and rides better!!! Totally worth it.

    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
    • 286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
