That doubled drive is meant for ice build-up, packed snow and caked mud, the conditions that slow a single motor. Aluminum construction, a textured black powder coat and stainless hinge pins carry over from the rest of the range. Part number 78140-01A fits the 2021-2026 Ford Bronco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor linkage assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnd caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull parts list in the installation guide for this vehicle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo motors on each side\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Xtreme is AMP Research's dual-motor PowerStep: two motors per side supply the extra torque that a single-motor board lacks when the going gets heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade for bad-weather mornings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIce build-up, packed snow, mud and debris are exactly what the second motor is there to push through, so the step keeps deploying when a single motor would struggle.

Most applications drill holes along the pinch weld or floor, and shorter cabs trim the boards to the lengths the guide lists. The wiring is joined with crimp or Posi-style connectors, and with four motors on the harness the wiring has to follow the guide exactly, so work through it closely or have a shop do the job. Torque each fastener to its listed value, then open every door to confirm both boards deploy and the lamps come on. On this application the boards are cut to length for some cabs: Bronco 2 Door 55\" (trim 17\").\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResources\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/amp-research-78140-ford-bronco-xtreme-realtruck-w-new-brose-2-motor-install-guide.pdf?v=1790365617\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"AMP Research PowerStep Xtreme installation guide, part 78140-01A\" style=\"color:#ba232a;font-weight:700;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eAMP Research PowerStep Xtreme installation guide, part 78140-01A (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e, the manufacturer's step-by-step guide for this application.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty, Shipping \u0026amp; Returns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty.\u003c\/strong\u003e The PowerStep Xtreme carries AMP Research's limited warranty for defects in materials or workmanship on boards installed as the instructions describe.
