Westin Tube Step Installation - 2009 Chevy Silverado - Video
Today on this 2009 Chevy Silverado 3500HD extended cab, we will be installing Westin running board part number 26-1680. The first thing we want to do in preparation is to lay out all of our hardware and make sure all of the components are there. Go ahead and locate three body mounting bolts that are located underneath the cab of the vehicle. You can see we have got one here to the front, one in the middle, and one towards the rear. We need to go ahead and remove the body mounting bolts out of these body mounts. And you will notice that maybe the rubber spacer might be coming out here with the bolt and that is okay. We will reinstall that once we put the brackets up. :40 more

Westin Tube Step Installation - 2011 Chevy Traverse - Video
Today on this 2011 Chevy Traverse, we will be installing the Westin oval tube steps using part number 22-5020-1795. The first step involved is to go ahead and lay out all of the parts and locate their positions underneath the vehicle. We also put the hardware with them as well. First off, we are working on the passenger side. And the brackets match up to the body work. One is closest to the outside edge and one goes over towards closer to the frame. So we will start off with our hardware. When we install our hardware going to the frame here, you will notice two pieces that look very similar. However, this one has a shoulder on it. This one will actually be used towards the front of the vehicle. And that is simply going to slide inside. The hardware we are going to use in this section is going to be this 3/8 bolt and then this bridge nut. We are just going to thread those two together and we are going to put that inside the vehicle body work as well. And also, this one fastener will get a plastic disc.

Review of the Bestop Power Boards - Video
Hi I am Britta with the Bestop marketing team. We just picked up this brand new Ford Raptor which is already fitted up with our new product, the Power Boards. That is what we are going to show you now. So what is a power board? A power board is an electronic running board. When you open the door the step comes down. When you close the door, the step goes up. It also works with the rear door. The Power Boards hide up underneath your truck when the doors close to give you that ground clearance you need. As soon as you open the door they come right down to a comfortable stepping height, allowing easy entry into your truck. :42 more

Bestop Bed Step Review - Video
The next product we have got is what we call the Bed Step, and this is designed to solve the problem, How do I climb in the back of my truck? Currently, everybody is having to do this, or they are doing this, and they are pulling themselves up in there. It gets to be a problem. What we have here is the Bed Step: a spring-loaded step that mounts directly to the frame and the bumper and allows easy access. And now when I need to get into the back of my truck, I am up in there. And when I am done with it, simply kick it away. The big advantage to this Bed Step is the fact that it does come out at an angle, so it allows me access in and out of the truck with my tailgate up or my tailgate down. So now I can climb up into the back of the truck real quick and easy. And again, when I am done with it, why, I kick it and forget about it, go back to work and do what I have got to do. more
