Hey yall I finally ordered me up some Amp steps and was wondering how hard the install is? Thinking about doing it myself.

 

From watching the installs in online videos (did not instal myself) it looks pretty easy.

Looks like they just bolt up and with some simple wiring know how you can get them hooked up pretty quickly I think the hardest part would be getting the power from the battery to the steps running those wires is a PITA.

 

"Eric the Oracle" has a several part video on his installation posted on youtube. I'm not the mechanically minded, and it looked fairly complicated. Especially when running the wiring. But that's just me. I will say that I have them on my F-150, and love them. Good luck.

 

Sweet I'll check out the vids

 

I found the install to be relatively easy but a little time consuming. If I recall, the hardest part was tying into a power source as everything else was pretty straightforward.

 

For me, twisting my head and shoulders into a comfortable position to tap into the courtesy wires behind the passenger kick panel was my toughest part, followed up by screwing the allen bolts up through the step supports and into the threaded steel pieces that slide into grooves under the step boards (allowing you to move the boards forwards or backwards to center them)--laying on my back there was very little space for my old eyes to focus on the screw mounts under the step. That and feeding the wires across the cowl were the only steps requiring a helper.

 

Well just went ahead and let my local shop do the install, Didn't feel comfortable with the wiring without any help. What a difference they are though over any factory or nfab step I've had in the past

 

I want some but don't feel like spending that much money on some Kewl steps

 

Can you post pics? I am thinking about doing this. I hate my current boards.

 

Yeah Ill Get some up for ya

 

Here is a quick vid

 

Here are some pics to see how wide they are

 

Awesome man. Thanks a bunch! Where did you have them installed?

That looks so much better than the factory boards I have now. Nice and wide, with plenty of room for my big foot.

 

I love the power steps on my Platinum... They are far more useful than fixed tube steps IMHO...

 

Ditto!!

Fx4 for life, where did you get the door sill scuff protector? The self adhesive anti scuff material that protects those painted sills? Back when I had my '05 and '09 Screws, they were available everywhere but after multiple searches for my '13 Screw a I can only seem to find the "thick" ones - not just the adhesive backed stick on variety?? Would appreciate a heads up.

By the way, just curious, what would it cost to install the Platinum fold up running boards? Check it out they are pretty nice.
