Just a bit of "fair warning" here...

Those are undoubtedly some good looking running boards; but if I'm not mistaken, your picture makes it look as though they are just bolting through the pinch seam. And one other bolt mounting somewhere else isn't enough. If you weren't aware...anything substantial that you hit or hits you is going to bend that pinch seam and potentially your tub "tout suite".

Since you say you are returning them anyways, I'd really recommend you find some running boards that mount to the frame. Even the ones that use the body mounts (like the ACE sliders) run the risk of being pushed upwards enough that they will bend the tub.

Ask me how I know...:crying:
The Ace ones will not bend. I have beat the hell out of mine and they have not budged.

Full bedrug to pair with my ARE topper, just need to pick up some adhesion promoter to stick down the areas around the bed lights and tail gate. Transformation to Dadiator complete.

Thanks @RealTruck for the great price quote and quick delivery.
Just installed my bedrug as well. Looks like you made the tailgate rug meet the edge of the tail gate? May need to redo mine. I did it up to the plastic

Installed the Genesis dual battery kit rather than replace the accessory battery again. Doesn’t quite fit with the S&B CAI, so will have to do some modification in the future, or just say screw it, an put the stock air box back in.

My tub would beg to differ. I have video of landing on a rock, the whole slider flexing upwards because the body bushings flexed, and the gap between the tub and the bottom of the door being almost non-existent now. Even the slider has a slight upward arc to it now as well.

Thought I'd keep the volume up, in here.

Drove it, did some stuff.

Tried to 180 it. Horrible experience. My auto dim mirror has a keyway/stop only on one side. Cant "just spin it around" like I read about it.

Im very knowledgeable about our rearwview, trim, and the mounting plate now, lmfao! The arm goes up, and turns 90 to lock in, btw. Ugh

Added a simple magnetic phone mount. I've used these in the past, they work good as long as you aren't trying to run the baja.

Ouch. I read it first that you tried to pull a 180 and I was trying to figure out how fast you were going for the mirror to fall off...

pop the mirror off the arm and Dremel the stop off, then reinstall and flip the mirror
