I've seen some electrical running boards that come down when door is opened and tuck back under the truck when door is shut, manufacturer is Bestop and running boards are called powerstep.

Any info on these boards

Thanks

They stopped selling them up here in the Northwest because they would get clogged with snow, ice and mud. If you live somewhere like southern California they should work great.

I've had them on for about a month, driving through snow and ice, and have yet to have a problem with them. It's been <32F since they've been installed, and the roads have been crappy most of that time.

Do a search for AMP in this forum and you'll find a topic started by me with a with information on them, and a link to a whole bunch of pics of them installed.

Thanks for the info on the steps....

AMP research makes them, They are sold by Bestop. $ 950. is the cheapest I can find them for. Too much ching ching for me!

Where'd you find them for that?! I looked for about a week here and there and the best I found them for finally was $1050 at www.electricstep.com (http://www.electricstep.com). It'll help others save some money in the future.

Please don't get me wrong, I think they're slicker than a fishes pecker, but in N Idaho all the shops that used to carry them stopped and that is what they said the reason was. Just a heads up.

It'll be interesting to see how that last over time. When retracted, the arms are protected very well from the elements. I don't see them being a problem honestly which is why I posted my experience so far (be it little). I seriously doubt mud would ever be a problem as they are tucked in in such a way that it would be hard for a large amount of mud to get on them. The only other thing that would worry me would be water/snow forming to ice. Both of these would require very cold temperatures causing the water to freeze very quickly (before it can drip off the arms)... I just don't see them being a problem, but experience will tell.
