Default My new mod to the Duramax, can anyone guess?

Hint: Look real close. Very stealth like part, but noticeable when activated/triggered.

Dang! I was hoping it would take more guesses than that. They're Amp Research power steps. Easy install, straight forward instructions, love the way they tuck in and are super fast. By the time I open my door, they're already there.

No new door handles, I've had them for quite a while now.

Hopefully I can snap some more with them down.

By the way, is it just my computer or when viewing the Texas section, it shows this topic to have 0 replies? I also keep getting site technical difficulties.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I've been needing steps for a while now as I myself 6' 2" have to hop in my truck while holding onto the steering wheel. Then the girlfriend, the pops, etc. I almost went with the Westin chrome oval tubes, until I saw these and manned up for the cost.

Truck looks great! Tire/wheel combo and stance is perfect. My only complaint is the door handles, I'm partial to the paint matched stockers myself.

No propane. If I wana go fast, I'll hop on the bike or hit up the 1/4 mile strip in the SS.

The SS will be running soon...hopefully. Should be pretty sick when its all said and done. Gosh, race motors take so long.

I'm surprised to hear that on the door handles. They were one of my first mods to the truck. All chrome (bucket & handle) would of been way over the top, but these are Escalade style.

When you open the door, whether it be front or back, the steps come down.

I paid a little over a grand for them with shipping.
