anybody know who is the most reliable manufacturer of retractable running boards. I took the nerf bars off my sut because I like the look better without them.

AMP has worked well for us. Relatively easy install too.

Can anyone tell me how involved the install is on the amp boards. I just received mine in the mail and am wondering if they are a task I should take on myself?

Be careful. The last AMP steps I put on had instructions that were wrong WRT to the wiring.

It was a pain in the ass to get it right--after a call to AMP, it was easy.

Im thinking of getting the AMP step.

Got a couple questions...

is it definately quick enough on the draw - ie do you find yourself hesitating when getting out or do you trust it to be extended in time?

Theres no chance of this looking like a aid for a handicapped individual? - ie will it look like its fitted to help your aged mother-in-law in and out the vehicle?

Does it make much noise or is it pretty silent?

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers

1) It opens FAST. No need to hesitate getting out:cool:
2) The opposite is true. Everyone who see's them working marvels how AWESOME they are:cool:
3) A little WD-40 every now and then and they are SUPER QUIET:cool:
