Our loaded but otherwise stock 2016 F350 Super Crew 4 x 4 diesel pickup, has Leather seats the Lariat trim package, fifth-wheel towing and FX4 off-road package. it’s a sweet ride with only 28,000 easy miles, hardly broken in. Mostly she stars as a photo prop for our tire inflator product line. We also use several tricked-out Jeeps, lifted with their big off-road tires and fancy 4 x 4 suspensions all “preppered” out. It’s time to take our pride back. We’re going to build this truck real nice.

The winner is: AMP Research We investigated the options and decided on the AMP Research PowerStep (P/N 75134-01A). These electric running boards get great reviews. And they’re tough! They’re proven to stand up to snow, ice, dust, mud, dirt, whatever. The running boards are anodized and coated to resist corrosion. They come with high-strength, die-cast aluminum-alloy linkage arms. The steps are aircraft-quality aluminum with a textured powder coat finish for grip and durability. They’re rated up to 600 pounds load capacity. Solid.

Our 2016 Ford Super Duty F350 has spent its life in the hot Arizona sun. UV rays do real damage to clear plastics. The Ford factory OEM lighting’s lenses don’t have the clarity they shipped with anymore.
