If you are a pick up truck or SUV owner, one of the most popular





accessories for these types of vehicles are running boards.





Running boards are particularly useful as they allow easier





access to your truck’s cabin in addition to simply “lookin’





good”. You can outfit your vehicle yourself with running boards





by following three simple steps. Depending on the brand of





running board you purchase, the procedures involved may vary





somewhat.











Lund





running boards
are industry hot sellers and the company





helps make installation a breeze by outlining how to get the job





done:











1. Insert the square head bolts into the extruded channels on





the underside of the board, then attach the Multi-Fit brackets





loosely with supplied washers and nuts.











2. After determining mounting position on the truck, the end





caps and step pads are attached with matching black rivets.











3. Mounting methods vary slightly with application. Multi-Fit





Running boards are bolted in place with clip nuts and bolts at





factory holes. Tighten after determining alignment is correct.











That’s it! Before you know it your running boards are securely





in place and ready for use.











When shopping for running





boards
, please note that the quality of the products





marketed can vary. A top of the line running board such as those





sold by Lund or Westin





running boards
is typically made out of tough polymer





materials or diamond plated aluminum and will, therefore,





adequately hold your weight and resist deterioration. You can





order running boards that light up, choose boards that have a





wide step area, and even select running boards that allow you to





paint the shell yourself.











Running boards are made for SUVs from the Kia Sorento to the





Ford Expedition, and for trucks from the Toyota Tacoma to the





GMC Sierra Denali. Mounting kits are usually sold separately, so





before completing your order make sure that all the parts as





well as instructions are included with your shipment.











By shopping with a reputable online retailer and installing the





running boards yourself you can save plenty of money and have





the satisfaction of knowing that you did the installation.
