Gmc Factory Side Steps


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am considering adding the factory oval stainless steel side steps to my 2008 GMC 2500 HD Extended, White exterior, stock. Any thoughts on either the oval chrome coated stainless or the black powder coat stainless?

 

Share your experience and which would look best on my stock white truck with gray leather.

Do you have a picture of your truck you could post for us? I'm curious what it looks like now (tires & wheels and other accessories, maybe?), so I can get a better idea of which one might go better with the overall "look" of the truck.

Are you door handles white or black...if they are black (I don't even know if you can get black on a white truck anyway) go with black.

 

If they are white then I'd still go with black, but chrome would look good too.

 

For some reason I always see guys with black door handles and chrome bars--IMO they must match.

I'm still undecided on steps or nerf bars. I have steel painted bars on my old truck,they aren't stainless and the powdercoat only lasted a couple of years. I paint them every year but they look like crap. plowking

go with black here is a pic of mine may31012.jpg

I like yours very much. I will go with black since the truck has very little chrome.

 

:drool: +1 black on white imo, would deffinately be the way to go.

I bought the larger "oval" type. They're a lot more functional, especially for my wife who has trouble with the round style. Bought them for functionality, not "looks". If I wanted "looks" I'd leave them off.

FYI

 

I have Westin 5" ovals, they are like $550 or so new, and I have used them for a year, and am selling them. For the Crew Cab.

    • Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?  
    • I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery. 
    • The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.
    • Got heavy rain, hail and light rain yesterday. 
    • I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
