5” running boards / nerf bars / side steps

[tete]

So after reading plenty of reviews about these eBay running boards on multiple forums, thought I would share my experience.

Wanted black 5” boards for my 2019 Tradesman in white. This is my first truck so bare with me.

The install is easy. With one exception, the factory mounted mounting screws, in my case, were covered with paint. So this meant having to use chemicals to break the paint down and wire brush it off prior to mounting the brakets. This sucks and took longer than I’d like to mention.

Very Nice! I just bought a 2020 and am looking at adding running boards and tow hooks. First challenge for me is to see if I can leverage older model boards and hooks.. Seems like when I price 2018, 16, 19 etc.. versus 2020 the boards are cheaper and if they are the same then obviously I will order the ones supporting older models.

Had the same issue on my side step install. Just took a wire wheel drill attachment and got the paint over spray off. Took about 2 hours to install mine.
