Running boards or no running board?
Pismo is coming up, and Jason and I can't decide if we want running boards or not. What do you think? Check the attached pictures.

I think it's against the law to keep them on (unless your driving a conversion van).

There's only one way to remove a running board: have nature remove it for you. Get wheelin', my friend...

running boards rob you of about 5+ horsepower...

Take them off while it's a choice ... if you wheel, they're coming off, better when you control the means....

Loose em', the ONLY downside is rock chips on the lower door and rockers.

Lose the running boards and get some fender flares.

Like above, leave 'em off. Get some fender flares, or cheapo mud flaps at kragen/autozone to avoid the rock chips on your paint.
