Hi new to the forum, I wanna take off my running boards and get some agressive fender flares and mud flaps any one got any ideas. got some new skins for the Runner 285/75/16 revos with ivan stewart 16x8 4.5 backspace last week. Only 1500 mileson em.:bigclap: Got em off ebay for $985.96 including lugs/locks and trd caps and the guy delivered them 23 miles away. Woo Hoo!!!

Running boards come off easy with 6 13mm bolts per side. As for the flares, i dont know.

 

Taking the running boards off is as simple as removing 2 bolts per mount. I think it's 6 mounting bolts in total (per board). I suggest you just leave them how it is without flaps, makes it look girly Nice find on the tires.

 

try a nice set of sliders now that the running boards are gone. I wouldn't drop too much dime on some fender flares since I've seen a couple sets littering the trails and I end up hauling that crap out.

 

definitely put on some sliders. theyre cheap and worth it...whether you wheel or not...

 

the look of the dumb a$$ chick when she smacks her door into them is worth it!

 

Yep takes all of about 20mins to take em off, and it's so much better. I hated my running boards...anyone wanna buy some, they're in my garage takin up space

Agreed on the sliders...I can't wait to get some just so that dumb blonde newbie girl @ work with the silver civic can get what she deserves next time she smashes her door into my truck...grrr...

 

like everyone else has said best thing i ever did was ditching those running boards

 

What is the best place to buy rock sliders? Bolted on or welded on? And where is the best place to buy a hi- lift jack? I got my tax return back and the money is burning a hole thru my pocket.

sliders were the first thing i did, i had those crappy stock running boards too, sliders look better.

 

its easy to remove and makes a big difference on looks. i did em last week and the simpliest mod that makes such a big difference.

I've got bentup.com's square tube weld-on sliders on my truck

 

I had marlin crawler sliders, and loved them but i just ordered some trail-gear.com sliders.

 

I'm quite happy with my marlins. I got them during the $99 sale.

 

Show-off!

(I'm never that lucky)
