Product Spotlight: AMP Research PowerStep Motorized Running Boards

05/20/2021 By John Schwartz

AMP Research PowerStepIf you have a tall truck, SUV or van and are shopping for a side step or running board, drop by Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security in Anchorage and ask about the AMP Research PowerSteps. These motorized steps offer the convenience and safety benefits of a running board for getting in and out of your vehicle, then fold up tight against the rocker panel as you drive.

Truck Step Convenience and Style

AMP Research PowerStepPowerStep running boards mount directly to the chassis of your vehicle to provide a solid platform. The steps are constructed from a durable 6063 marine-grade aluminum extrusion that’s powder-coated with a corrosion- and wear-resistant PTFE finish. The motor and idler linkage assemblies are cast from an aluminum alloy and include precision-machined stainless steel pivot pins for excellent longevity and stability. AMP Research includes LED illumination on all models of PowerSteps to help you see around the product in the dark.

How Do AMP Research PowerStep Truck Steps Work?

When you drive, the step platform is tucked up tight against the rocker panel of your pickup truck, van or SUV. This retracted location offers good ground clearance and minimal aerodynamic drag compared to a fixed step or board. As soon as you open a door, the steps motorize down into place without the need for you to press any buttons. Once the last door is closed, the steps retract automatically after 3 seconds. Again, you don’t have to press any buttons — it’s all automatic.

PowerStep Options for Every Application

AMP Research PowerStepAMP Research offers the PowerSteps in three models to suit your vehicle and needs. The classic PowerStep features a single high-torque motor and extends 6 to 7 inches below the pinch weld on the bottom of the cab. This height is more than twice the distance offered by most other fixed steps and boards. The PowerStep XL is an extended design that’s optimized for extreme duty and lifted truck applications. The XL series adds an additional 3 inches to the extension length. For those who need the most-durable step available, the PowerStep Extreme is the right choice. These steps include dual motors to help you power through mud, ice and snow that may build up on the system while you’re driving. Best of all, all models are backed by a comprehensive, hassle-free, five-year, 60,000-mile warranty to the original owner.

Upgrade Your Safety and Convenience at Perfectionist

Whether you’re looking for a way to climb into a pickup truck with a 4-inch lift kit and tall tires or want to help the kids get in and out of the family SUV with increased safety, a set of AMP Research PowerSteps from Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security in Anchorage would be a perfect choice. Drop by our store today to find out what’s available for your vehicle.

Upgrade Your Truck or Van with Side Steps or Nerf Bars

05/12/2021 By John Schwartz

Truck Side StepIf you own a truck, van or SUV, then a set of side steps or nerf bars from Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security in Anchorage would be a great upgrade. These steps and bars not only make it easier to get in and out of your vehicle; they also give it a rugged off-road look that’s an excellent match for a new wheel and tire package or upgraded bumpers. Let’s look at some of the brands we carry and the options that are available.

Truck Side Steps Add Convenience

Truck Side StepSide steps come in a wide variety of styles. There are the typical one-piece tubes or extrusions that run the length of the cab. These may have an integrated rubber or perforated step pad that improves traction when your boots are wet, snowy or muddy. Fabricated steps are based on either a tubular or welded main chassis and many feature welded or bolt-on step extensions. Fabricated steps and nerf bars with integrated steps can be similar in design. Powder-coated, chrome, anodized and bedliner finishes are the most-popular options. Many brands also offer custom-painted solutions to match a personalized build.

Steps for Every Truck, Van and SUV

Truck Side StepWe carry popular brands like N-FAB, Iron Cross Automotive, Westin, AMP Research, Aries, Go Rhino and Dee Zee to ensure we have a fitment and style that works with your vehicle. Most companies offer vehicle-specific designs that locate the step platforms perfectly for regular, extended, quad and mega-cab applications. We can often provide matching truck bedside and rear steps to make loading and unloading cargo easier. Most of the solutions we offer are designed to bolt directly to the frame or chassis of your vehicle with no modifications or drilling required.

Expert Installation Services

We’ll ensure the steps are level with your vehicle and aligned perfectly for even step distance from the cab or chassis. We always torque all fasteners to the provided specifications.
