AMP Retractable Steps
Pulled of the chrome tubulars and added the AMP retractables. I like the step height much better. I like the "nerfless" look better. I think it even makes the truck look slightly lifted.
Now you see them:
Now you don't:
5" chrome tube steps going on the classifieds. PM if interested.

anyone have these in a cold climate where you have to worry about snow and ice build up? If ice builds up on a long drive does it restrict them from opening or damage them when they try to open?
BTW great looking truck.....

The motors have a sensing unit in them and if there is any resistance to them operating then they reset. It is a safety feature but aslo prevents damage to the unit it it were locked up due to ice etc. They have been tested in many climates and you can see a plethora of tests run on them at the AMP website. I have not been able to test them personally in the snow (since I just put them on yesterday) but in all the time I have had them, they have performed flawlessly!

My drivers side one didn't open one morning from the snow/ice buildup (I don't have any front mudflaps). A swift kick to the step to break the ice up and the step came down no problem. They worked great this winter here in PA, no issues in cold climates (single digits, snow/ice, etc).
