Spent the weekend installing my power retractable sidesteps, BakFlip tonneau cover, and custom wiring of my PIAA lights so thought I would share on this forum.

AMP Research power retractable sidesteps (took me about 3 hours to install):



Doors closed and fully retracted:



Doors open and fully extended providing a 16-inch step in height versus 24 inches:



BakFlip G2 tonneau cover:





PIAA lights wired; notice no visible wires as I custom wired through light bar and into cab:



PIAA switches installed on lower part of center stack:





Lights on:



All done:

Wow. Looks awesome man. Nice work. I wasn't a huge fan of those grilles when I first saw them, but it definitely works for your truck

Thanks clpeller; yeah, I really searched high and low for the grille because they really do vary in look and quality. I finally settled on the Street Scene grille and thought it turned out pretty good. Here's a better pick of the grille:

retractable side steps? how much do those cost?

blackyFX4

looks great man, you did a nice job modding it out. i just picked up a FX4 today like it minus the gray on the bottom. that looks pretty sharp

bout $1300 they are fricken sweet though! Truck looks great!

VERY clean! Looks great, nice work!

What model bakflip is that? G2, F1, etc...

my brother in law has the amp steps on his duramax. they are pretty amazing and keep some very clean lines. help to give the truck a taller more clearance type of stance. ...i shoulda gone with the Addicts over the FX2 rims, just couldn't pass up the deal.

on a side note... where is the bus you park in here? sweet garage space.

Desert Dawg

Thanks everyone!

Yeah, the sidesteps are about $1300 (I paid $1269 shipped from 4WheelParts.com).

Tha BakFlip is the G2 model; very easy to install and working great. I like the finished look it gives the bed.

Hey RoyallyScrewed....yeah, I wanted to make sure I had the clearance to fit my lifted trucks into the garage....hehe.

Very nice! Is the grill bolt in? I really like it over the stock FX4 grille.
