Let's see your aftermarket running boards!

Yeah, I really don't have alot of available time to search and find some of these parts plus you have a good clean set of parts to start to work on. No need to clean or repair anything other than cleaning required for prep.

Agree about the price so I go at it one step (no pun intended) at a time. Thanks.

No aftermarket but did purchase a new set of stocks, smoothed, primed, and color matched on the Escalade.

Yes, I don't like the black plastic steps either. Not sure but I'll try looking through the stack of receipts to obtain. The escalade power steps are also black textrured with the stainless steel strip. We smoohted the textered finish, primerered, sanded and pointed to match.

Oh they’re power steps? I thought they were just side skirts to fill the awkward space when removing the plastic running boards.. i already know they’re gonna be out of my price range lol

Yes correct, they are power steps. For the price of the steps alone you could probably get a full set of amp research steps. There are plenty of other aftermarket options. too.

So I ended up going with these.

I’m not sure if I am a fan or not. They hang almost 2 inches lower than the stockers. They are about the same height as the transfer case skid plate now. I guess that’s not really a big deal. The step placement for the front will take some getting used to. I’m an average size guy, but use the step so I won’t wear out the leather seat by sliding off the edge. It’s more forward than I’m used to. Just like the nfabs but cheaper. Great quality, good packaging. Not even a scratch. All of the hardware is quality. Super no brainer install. On a sidenote, it looked pretty cool without any runningboards at all. You would just have to keep the frame rails clean and rattle canned.
