Hey everyone, I was looking into getting some running boards for my truck, and i am stumped. I don't know what to get, what boards are good? I want a good sturdy board. I was looking at these, but they don't come in the Patriot Blue. My truck is the two tone, silver on the bottom and Patriot blue on the top. Is the Silver color on the bottom the same color that is used on the silver colored trucks? Would it look stupid if i got those boards in patriot blue? I was looking for some that aren’t the tubular ones too. Can anyone help me? Can anyone post picks of their Cool running boards? THANKS!

i run the factory ones on mine that are painted to match the truck, therenice and wide for your foot so you don't slip off them just dont accidently high side your truck off road they dont like that.

 

I bought the Mopar running boards and finished it out with the ground effects package.

Not sure if the silver would match or not, but I think they sell them in primer also...might want to get them and have them painted.
I think they look awesome..

 

yeah Mat thanks, heh ill try not to! ive almost have been there before. Kooda, your truck looks really nice, I love the running boards. I think I'm sold. They look like the ones i was looking at. I think I'm going to have to go with the factory mopar boards like u guys have, they look great but the price...ouch!
Thanks for the help.

 

Running boards look good but depending on where you live can promote rust. If you live in an area that gets snow, id look at a stainless nerf bar. I got black bars, (bully brand), for 169.00 shipped to my door off ebay. The same seller had stainless bars for like 50 or 75 more, i cant remember. Good luck!

 

ebay has great prices on oem running boards! almost half price from dealer and like a quarter from other websites

 

I kinda dont like running boards, i have heard to many horror stories...that is y i have westin steps.....they are sturdy...trust me im a big guy

 

Well, I'm biased, but I'm a sucker for the N-Fab bars. I like the look a lot:

Also, the coolest steps I've ever seen are these powersteps:

My buddy has the powersteps...they are awesome. They allow you to keep the look of your truck without having steps, but they are sturdy when you open the doors and very durable to weather and such...expensive, though.
