Running Board Step Install
Wondering about the recommended spot on the running board for installation of step plates. On my coupe they are roughly centered with the doors. However, it seems like this is too far back for my pickup. When I position them relative to where my foot lands when backing into the door, the plate looks to be too far forward on the running board. What have you done in this regard?

Re: Running Board Step Install
If you place it anywhere other than where you step it is strictly cosmetic and not functional!

Re: Running Board Step Install
Perhaps you could step in some water then get into the truck. Where ever you leave a wet foot print, put the plate there.

Re: Running Board Step Install
That’s what I was thinking, function over esthetics. It does look strange though. So far I haven’t been able to find any guidance in the “Standards”. Not a first there, they don’t cover everything.

I usually avoid most accessories unless they don't show and improve performance in some way .

Re: Running Board Step Install
I usually step over the running boards when entering and exiting (long legs) so for me they are fruitless. So I really can not help with positioning.
But they were on the car when I bought it. Not original but part of the car's history that I have mentioned in the past so they stay. And I do like the looks of them. |
