She had those Nfab 6 step bars Travis. Worked well enough for getting in, but sucked at getting out.

With the 4" lift and her being vertically challenged, I was wondering if we needed the 2" extensions for the steps. So far it looks like we don't, but we'll see how it goes in a few months.

Sure do wish my wire colors matched up. Would have made things go much quicker.

Even with the Nfab steps I can't believe she didn't have trouble. She is pretty vertically challenged. Lol. The install is a breeze if you know which wires you need, no doubt.

Anyone who is questioning whether to get Amp steps or not just needs to pull the trigger. Y'all will love them. Don't bother with Bestop power steps either, get Amps. The Amps are much quicker to drop and feel more sturdy to me.

No sir. I didn't like the amp lights, so I've been meaning to come up with a better solution. My idea was flush mounting some LEDs every 6-12" along the length of the step. It'd be much brighter than Amps offering.

I think the AMP steps are bright enough, they just don't spread the beam very wide.

That too. Having a wide angle LED every 6" above the step would light it up a lot better.. So if I ever get around to it, that's the route I'm gonna try out.

If you could have 2 of those shipped to me, that'd be great. Lol
