New 2021 Ram Rebel Running Board Debate

[scubadaddy]

Where did you get the black door handles?

I believe it was part of the "night" package.

Are they textured or just black painted?

Like a textured plastic

Hmmm. Wonder what the part numbers are. My brother’s night package has body colored.

So my window sticker showed that my Rebel has black tubular running boards. But they don’t seem like a tubular one they are heavy plastic and i do like how they tuck under and fill the gap well they don’t look bad so I’m gonna hang on to them for now.

those are the same ones that are on the Rebel I am picking up this weekend.

I like the look without so much better, but I like the function. So I just ordered some AMP steps to replace the factory boards.

 

[Supercraig1]

Yes, they are AMP running boards with an led light kit. So far as I figured out, you can leave them out when the doors close. When you exit, there is a delay to withdraw. While the boards are still out, just step on the boards for a few seconds and the board will stay. The boards will reset when you open a door then close the door. So far, I really like the looks, practicality, and the ruggedness of these boards. I'm sure you will too.

Are these easy to install or is there any in depth electrical/flash that has to be done in order to get them on and operational?

The electrical connections are beyond me. But me and electricity dont mix well. But if you are comfortable with wiring, it should be pretty straight forward. The wiring is run into the engine compartment and connected to the battery. No flashing with the vehicle's computer is necessary.

Has anyone had these installed, or hear if they actually fit? I am not a fan of running boards. I would like some protection from rocks when off-road though.

Just installed Go Rhino RB20 boards, black powder coat. They are wide, but super easy to install and use.

Mounting brackets on the bottom show if you look under it, but doesn’t seem to realistically take away ground clearance considering all the other stuff under there too.

Purchased them direct from Go Rhino for right around $400 (coupon code UNTAMED gets 10% off), took about a week to deliver, no issues so far.

Hey Haddy. Looks great! I was surprised how wide they are...I might have to get some bigger tires to make it look better! Did the black bolts you received have a pointed end? And were there black lock washers included (mine did not)? I just got my RB20s and those parts look different than the instructions...

 

[Supercraig1]

Has anyone who has installed the RKR step rails just used the rails? I'm not so keen on the optional steps but would like to know if there is any foot space on the rail itself. The wife wants boards, I do not. I don't mind the look of the RKR rail itself so if she could step on that a bit maybe that could work. I'm debating between these or the Mopar Off Road boards.

I went with the GoRhino RB20 blades. Easy install and they seem pretty solid.

Thanks! They do stick out quite a bit, but not in a bad way.

That looks just like the pointed bolts they sent me. There are no black lock washers. The only lock washers were the zinc ones that are used to hold the brackets to the truck (see attached).

Just ordered the RB20 textured running boards. Cant wait to install them.

I planned on going with the Tyger Blades, but ended up finding the Tyger Landers on a loca auction site for $70 so I took them for now. So far so good.
