Default 5" Gladiator Running Boards installed!

I've heard mixed reviews on RunningBoardWarehouse, but I had a pretty good experience, so I thought I'd share it..

I ordered a set of 5" Gladiators for $329 on Saturday around 4pm... I received them today at about 3pm. Really simple to install, and everything seems to be of quality materials... here's some pics:

Nope... Norfolk, VA. It's been raining for the last 3 days, luckily I got a break in the weather to put the boards on!

VERY sharp! I like those, but they look a bit longer than 5 inches...

Sorry for the dig, but I couldn't resist. There was a guy on another thread with a 14 foot muffler.

Enough of the kidding though. As I said - those are VERY sharp!

Default Gladiator board install question

Hello,
I'm thinking of getting the same boards for my 2010 SLT Quad cab. Was there any drilling involved in the install? How simple was the process?
Thanks!
Joe

Mopar has some that look almost identical to those that are aluminum. I bought them for my truck but got them in black not silver. Trey're really nice. Looks good on your truck with all the silver trim.

Install took me about 30-45 mins... No drilling. It uses stock holes in the underside of the truck. All the mounting hardware was included. I used a ratchet and two sockets (5/8 and 1/2 I think).. Super easy, and everything seems to be of good quality. All I had to do outside of the norm was remove some tape placed over holes from the undercoating process. Great product!
