Running boards...

Post by skater »

So the fiberglass running boards on mine are old, cracked, and need to be repainted (which would involve fixing the cracks).

I'm considering removing them entirely and replacing them with other running boards. Has anyone done this?

I figure if I can get a half-decent set of running boards for $200-$300 it's probably worth doing... as long as the bolt holes from the original running boards don't cause a problem (which they shouldn't - they're all underneath, out of sight, I think).

Just curious, did you replace the running boards ? If so where did you end up getting them and what did they cost?
