Are the body panels on a 2013 and 2014 DD the same? Best running boards?
Hello,
What body panels are different on a 2013 and 2014 DD? I like some of the chrome features on the Mopar Citadel, like the chrome grill & accents and "DURANGO" door sills. I love the red stiching and silver interior pieces on the R/T, but don't like "DODGE" door sills. I am looking for accessories online and trying to figure out what it would cost me to add some of the Citadel stuff to a R/T, but everything is listed to fit up to 2013 for now.
Second ?,
What about running boards? Any good bolt on ones out there that don't require drilling? I don't like the metal tube style too much, but if it easy to install I might go that route since they are cheap and I could replace them when they rust out.
Thanks

The Citadel chrome grill is available from your local Dodge guy for about $350 or so, or you could buy the chrome inserts from any off several aftermarket places (google it) for around $250 or so. I got my Citadel grille off eBay for about $125. The install is a DIY.
I bought OEM running boards because the local installers were antsy about removing and re-installing the cladding on the rocker panels to install the boards. They were afraid they f* it up and have to pay for it. OEM weren't cheap; about $700 and install was one hour ($110) at the dealer.
There's a guy on this forum offering thick see-through vinyl step protectors with the model name in black. Use the search function here and see if it pops up, or maybe someone here can post the link.

Pics please when installed.
The Durango running boards are bolt on. There is no cutting into the 'D's rocker panel. With the proper tools, time, and patience, you can do it yourself.

These are the OEM running boards for the 3rd generation "D." It did take a while for these to become available from the dealer (07/13). I think 'DZ' has been tasked with making them for Chrysler. The RBs have a chrome insert within the all black step platform. This chrome insert in turn reflects off the lower portion of the doors. There are three bolt-on brackets that securely hold each RB in place. The brackets do sit just under the rocker panel and get covered in the end with a plastic piece for finish look.
