So, a few weeks ago I posted up some pics and it seems that a few liked to comment on my fcuked up steps. Morgan mentioned that the linkages may need to be swapped out. smrat mofo.

LOL

So, here's the issue:

And...........this morning it went from working ok, to going down half way and getting stuck. So, I took the board off, and the f'n linkage won't move at all.

New linkages coming!!

[916Timmy]

AMP or BesTop?

[0212353]

Bestop.

They have been absolutely amazing when it comes to support.

They should tuck a lot better with the updated linkages. And their customer service is excellent. When I had a linkage break they sent me 2 new linkages then an entire driver side assembly to get it working. The first linkage they sent broke almost instantly and the second one they sent was binding really bad and about to break. Turns out it was my fault for telling them I had the wrong color bump stops, which is how you tell the old and new apart. Didn't look close enough and the grey looked black, so that's what they sent. I even offered to pay shipping for the new driver side assembly (board and all) and they wouldn't let me. All is well now.

People can bash Bestop over Amp all day long but I am very happy with what I have.

And those are definitely the old version. The new ones are much beefier and have gusseting on the motor mounts. They sending both sides?

[0212353]

yeah, he told me they will tuck a little more, which is GREAT - I want that! :D

Something must have broke in this one, it just won't move at all!

[myoung84]

I squirt some wd40 on mine every couple weeks.

[0212353]

The guy on the phone today cracked me up. He said, "I have some bad news man...........you'll have to get back under there next weekend and put these new parts on". I said, "good timing, I'm putting a body lift on next weekend." LOL

[916Timmy]

Glad they are playing nice...PS, truck looks great Jeremy!

[0212353]

thanks! hope to have her looking a little better next weekend. May have to postpone it though........stupid parts didn't arrive today for a few retros......so I may have to do those instead. Maybe I'll get 'em done during the week (which sucks). We'll see!

[OklaHemi]

Great deal, I wish they would make them look like the ones on my Tahoe. They can pass for Side skirts when retracted. That's is what I want for my ram

[0212353]

no shit man. I was at the auto show last year and saw some on an Expedition - VERY nice, looked like they were supposed to be there. Great stuff.

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

My aunt's Escalade has them also. They look top notch and I would definitely rock some if they were available.

[OklaHemi]

I measured and the fit perfectly under the cab of my truck lenghtwise, with some custom brackets and some skirts for the bed it would look killer. But Chrissy won't let me take them off of the hoe

[0212353]

I say it again........damn women.

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Put the hoe in its place....





That could mean the kitchen or jack stands...

[0212353]

lol

[OklaHemi]

Oh snap

[0212353]

got the new linkages installed tonight.

WOW, these things tuck! Love it!!

can you see 'em? HAHA - yeah, it was DARK when I finished. Took a tad longer than I expected.......

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

I like it! Thats a much better look.

[0212353]

the first time it went up I went "wow". Thats the way I wanted it the first time around!

They feel much more solid now (of course, I just tightened the bitches down), but I am also very pleased to announce that my fat ass hasn't ripped through the body mounts for these things. :D I was worried!
