If i ever decide to get steps itll be these. Love the style of them. The offroad look i like

This ar half the price, but look very similar to the one of that style. BUT, own are powder coated stainless and the step plane runs the length of the tube. Keep your eyes open and watch for a take-off for sale.

The N-Fab are great as they actually provide protection to the rockers and do not look like the atrocious handicapped steps most are putting on their truck.  The N-Fab also come without those stupid handicapped steps.  You can buy the handicapped steps for the N-Fab bars for additional money but they screw up your ground clearance.  The N-Fab handicapped steps just bolt on to the rocker protectors.  I've had the N-Fab on my JL Wrangler for nearly 1.5 years and they've held up great to repeated abuse from rocks, big rocks.

What's your beef with handicapped folks?

No issue with handicapped folks, I just don't understand handicapped steps being installed on trucks that take away from the ground clearance and get ripped off the first time you get hung up on even a medium sized rock.  Hell they did away with "running boards" on cars back in the 30's or 40's.  I guess they're fine for trucks who serve only as mall crawlers...

Most people who have trucks, aren't taking them "Serious" off-roading. They are using their trucks as family haulers. I like running boards because when my kids where littler, they used them to get in and out of truck, heck my 8 year old still loves jumping up on them. I find them handy also to use to get in and out of truck. Just makes it a bit easier to slide in and out of. I also like them because they cut down on the rock chips. 

 

One reason I chose stationary boards because of this. My buddy had an 18 Escalade with retractable boards, and the amount of rock chips he had compared to his 16 that had stationary boards was ridiculous. Yes, I know retractable boards can be set to stay out, but then you might as well saved yourself tons of $$ by choosing the stationary boards in the first place. 

 

If you do "Serious" off-roading, they can always be taken off and sold on Craigslist for a profit, or you can buy the ones that protect the side of the truck more. To each their own!!

I was finally able to order these and install the same weekend, after daaaays of deciding between these Go Rhino RB20s or the NFab Podiums. Im glad I went with these Go Rhinos since its flat all the way through and that helps me wash and clean the top part of the truck without needing to watch my footing as much. The texture feels just like the line-x I have in the bed of my truck which I had done a few days after installing these boards. I tried to take pics of all angles and I think theyre badass!!

OEM chrome running boards. Just enough chrome to mesh with rest of the chrome on the truck. I also love how they extend to the rear wheel well. I can wash and dry the entire back window and tonneau cover without a step ladder or needing to step up onto the rear wheel.

Interesting, I have the same on my TB but they are not quite as long.  Guess they used different lengths for the trailboss vs other models.

Also are you guys mounting straight to the body? I have seen some people do a bit of weather strip so the metals aren’t directly against each other.

I used rubber washers so that it would not be metal to metal.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!
