Thx Wakinvol.

So just to confirm, those are the GoRhino D6 Dominators in your pic? Just want to make sure cuz I’m definitely leaning towards them....they look awesome on your truck.

Looks like they’re snug to the body and don’t hang too low....and they don’t stick out too much (when looking from behind the truck)?
Really appreciate your input.

Yes they are.  I had a hard time deciding what to get...but glad I chose them.  They are perfect.  
 

Also they don’t have the tabs that hang down below like the D20’s.  They call them a slider which might be a stretch but they are smooth on the underside.

Awesome.....really appreciate your help.  I also had a hard time deciding....but seeing them on your truck convinced me that’s what I want.  I just ordered a pair and I might ask my Line-X guy if he can put a coat on them before installation.....I think he usually charges $250 for coating a pair of running boards, but I’m gonna see if he can lower that since these Dominators won’t require any real prepping/taping/etc....the Line-X should make them impervious to New England weather conditions so we’ll see.

Thanks again.

I drilled out the rivets that were holding the GoRhino plate/tab on the top side and removed it.  That’s the only mod I had to make to them.

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!!

These look pretty good!  Could be best I’ve seen outside amp!

These look great. Link?

I wish these N-Fabs fit a little higher to hide the pinch weld. They're solid though and made in the good ol' USofA.

Did those RB20s help reduce rock chips in rocker panels?

 

They look great!  Kinda remind me of the OEM High Clearance steps.

Correcting this post, since doing a bit of research on the bolt patterns and finding out the differences in measures of the rear door (crew vs. double cab) for fit. It was frustrating at first, as I was a bit annoyed how low the truck sits for simple oil changes and how few applications for double cabs with steps that didn't take away too much ground clearance.

 

I'm running GM 84011396-622495034 chromed aluminum running boards, at 81.5 inches.

 

Havoc HS2 / Nfab Podiums, Westin Outlaws, Westin HDX series and the OE GM Sport Steps. Havoc/Nfabs slipped in for stainless, good reviews.

 

I almost pulled the trigger on the great looking Westin HDX, but couldn't pass up the Nfab Podiums with discounted price, making them substantial cheaper than HDX and even significantly cheaper than those GM sport step of up to $500+ over the Podiums.

I think I'll be happy with them, since I'm planning on at least a level or mild lift and they look great on the trucks posted here.

Installed a pair of the Westin HDX Extreme's today.  3 hour install time, of which 1.5 hours of it was spent trying to figure out how to start 6 of the 24 bolts. . . . 

 

I might pull together and post an install guide for these which has the trick I used, would probably save others some time.  

 

Ground clearance is 11", and I do not have a levelling kit.  (Factory suspension/Rake)

Just joined the forum and stumbled upon this thread. I haven't see any post with full length nerf bars. Let me say that the rear bracket is a huge PIA to install if you have the well liners. So far I have loved these steps especially the third step to get items out of the bed. It makes me wonder why you don't see this style very often. If there is a critical reason not to have steps that tie into the bed please let me know.

    • 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? 🤔
