Why are you removing those ones? I think those are some of the better looking ones....

I prefer the standard steps. These look like they belong on a Jeep to me.

I like them for the looks. Now that the truck is lifted, they don’t offer as much of a step. I think they are higher than the standard step.

The other thing I noticed was the paint is rubbing off where I step. This is after 25k miles and a year.

I may replace with amp steps

I have noticed the coating on the step plate scratches easy too. I'm not worried though, just going to remove the bolts and send the step plates to get LineX like my last set. Makes them grippy and asks for ever. If I remember right, I think it only cost me $120 to get my last set done since I dropped them off taken apart already.

I believe I read somewhere that those ones were painted stainless steel...so at least they won't rust... hoping what I read was accurate.

Added some small led lights to the steps. 5D437211-405B-4AF3-86D1-68BC10426B9F.thumb.jpeg.2dd1859a19b1a1717a5609b897e340ec.jpeg

I really like that idea! What did you tie into? I love to do the same but maybe tie into the cargo light or even it's own switch.

I tied into the dome light. They come on when the doors open or you unlock the truck...whenever the dome lights turn on. I was going to tap into the bed lights but I read they can’t handle the load from the extra lights. The way I figured it is I can just hit the unlock button to use the lights at night if needed.

Does that mean they would turn on while your driving if the kids in the back seat need some light?

    • 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
