Installed: Running Boards for an old man

[cmefish]

Not sure if I like the looks yet but they sure make it easy for an old man that can't lift legs very high to get in and out.

They don't look bad . I've been thinking of getting them also for the same reason as you. Plus it might help keep the mud off the door

They look nice would you share where you got them and how they were installed??

 

[Leebeeh]

Good for you ... they look fantastic. Where did you get them? I also love those wheels. Can you tell me more about them?

They look awesome. Where you get the running boards and did you have Ford dealer guys in stall them..?

Makes the truck look like it's lowered!

Like to see what you paid and if you had to do any drilling into body.

Looks pretty good but you should check if you can still use the jack on the pinch welds

Wouldn't want to have a flat tire and find out you can't use the jack anymore

Bought the Blackhorse running boards on Amazon for $350. Thought I would save some money and install them myself. No drilling, just a lot of parts, bad idea, forgot how old I am. Would pay to have installed next time.

Yes, you can still use the jack in the pinch weld.

Found the Drag 77 wheels new on Marketplace from a guy that ordered the wrong size for his Mustang and didn't want to send them back.

Tires, Michelin 235/65 R 17 Defender 2.

Wow, How much does that all weigh?

I'm guessing 100 lbs including the boards.

Hi! They look great. Just wondering how high off the ground are they.I installed a set on mine(not the same make) but I still cant use them as they are still to high. Nerve damage in legs, can't raise them .

They are 11" to the top. I have trouble lifting my right leg, this lets me step up using my left then swing the right in.
Gettin old ain't for sissys.

As Chris Stapleton sings:

"Hard livin'... ain't as easy as it used to be.

I put need bars on my tremor. I don't really use them much but does make it nice when I do
