Running boards question

I have a 2019 that the lease ends in February. I'm going to be keeping the truck and will need runningboards.

Looking for some options that are good but won't break the bank.

Any ideas are appreciated thank you

 

I have Nfab Podiums on mine. https://www.autoanything.com/nerf-bars/n-fab-podium-nerf-steps

 

Where are you located?

 

Connecticut, cant do anything till after February but just trying to plan some things I need and some things I want to do within reason.

 

Gotcha. Was gunna say I should have some laying around pretty soon here but wouldn’t make sense to ship them

 

RB20 boards are about $430

 

If you have a Double Cab…

Can't speak to longevity yet but I really like the RB20s so far. They are wide and offer great grip with the bedliner spray. They may even offer a bit of rock and door ding protection.

 

Lots of options that won’t break the bank.

Go Rhino
Nfab
Tyger

to name a few… what part of CT are you in?

 

I'm in Windham county

 

Anyone have or tried the Tyger Star Armor running boards?

 

Do you mean these?

I've had them about 2.5 years and they seem to be holding up nicely. I'm not in an area that uses much in the way of salt in the winter (occasional brine, but we don't get much snow/ice), so I can't comment on their propensity to rust. I could do without the logo in the middle, though.

 

Yeah I like my Tyger steps.

 

Love my RB20 plus they stick out enough to keep from getting door dings, unless the other vehicles door is taller than the step.

 

Luvern on the loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong bed

 

I have te RB 20 and love them as well

 

Everything thing that's been said is true for me as well:

 

Truck looks excellent!

 

Eliminating the GoRhino plate is a BIG improvement. I need to do that.

Got these 18 months ago and love em.

 

I just painted over mine with Line-X, super easy. Just make sure you take the thin plastic cover off the label, otherwise your spray will peel off the 1st time you power wash.

 

Good call. I was hoping someone addressed this lol. That tag has been the only thing stopping me from purchasing them.

 

I didn't want to drill the rivet out and have those holes, and figured I could do that if I didn't like the painted look.

I just sprayed it on a paper plate and used one of the tiny brushes my wife had laying around to brush it on, it looked great. The newer your steps are, the better, that way it doesn't look mismatched. Also, spring for the $15 can of spray, I forget what I got, but I read that the better stuff is the only stuff that stands up.

Just remember to treat the area first, remove all plastic. I'm an idiot, and I didn't, so I get re-work.

 

I wanted to stay with the GORhinos but after 3 bad steps and dealing with shipping them back. I decided on the Tyger steps. Also I did not like how close they were to the body of the truck to clean that area. Real pain in the ass. The finish is definitely better in my Tyger steps especially I was able to compare. I had the Tyger bars on my 4runner for years and never any chips or rust with them.

 

Plus one for the GoRhino RB20's. I've had them for going on four years now. They have held up great, I had them sprayed with Line-X. It provides a pretty stable platform to get in and out of the truck. I installed mine in reverse, I wanted the wider part to be in the rear, similar to a rock slider kick out. There were no issues with installation.

 

I was thinking about adding these to my truck.

Not a bad price, and good reviews, but I'm wondering how they will hold up in the long run.

 

Not their running boards but I do have the push bar. It seems sturdy but it was dented in a couple inconspicuous places. I have the OeDro 6" boards from Amazon and I love them.

 

Got a side shot of those? How low do they hang down? I had a set of them on my Ram 2500. Loved them but that truck had a 2” front lift and 35s.

 

Really like my Nfab steps
