If you have the OEM boards, do you need to install the brackets the come with GoRhino's or can you use the OEM ones? They're in my garage still in the pacakge.
The brackets that come with the Gohinos are made specifically to attach to them. I am certain the factory ones are not. They are easy to install. Only six bolts per side for the brackets and six bolts per side to attach the boards to the brackets.
The only dilemma was deciding which side was which. They look good either way. See joeb427 pictures in post 20.

Just received mine, RB20 textured powder coat. Went to install, almost got to finishing the passenger side and discovered that the U-brackets weren't threaded. Called support and sent an email to the warranty department, hopefully they can send a new set out soon. Its such a tease though because it looks sweet. Hopefully you guys don't have any issues with your orders.

Does anyone know if these sit higher than the factory running boards? And if so how much?

My RB 20 install has the TOP of the boards 16" from the ground.
Someone can chime in with the OEM measurement.

my RB20 finally shipped today after being on back order for 2 weeks. They are going on this weekend :D
Are these only available for the short bed ranger? I am getting the 6-foot bed and would like Nerf bars or running boards.

The liner coated ones are black as well. My lighting is hot but they’re darker than the dark gray body for sure.

Installation was pretty easy. I took a by over an hour with a friend’s help only because i was picky on alignment. Can be done solo.

Basically go under the truck (no jack necessary).Pop off the rubber caps on the pre-drilled slots.
Attach 3 brackets.
Place on brackets and bolt on the step.
Repeat on the other side.

Love the look and functionality. They’re a firm & grippy step to help get in/out of.

I also really appreciate that theyre not the lowest point in the truck, so it doesn’t change the bottom-out clearance. (See the underside photos)

Good question...I don't know for sure, but I think "not yet" is the answer.

If you go on the go rhino website, the buying process asks which type of cab you have for most trucks (f150 for example). The Ranger only has Supercrew as an option.

Try sending them an email. I wrote to them on January and they were quick to give me a response in timing for these.

Just tried to buy the RB20’s with liner coating. Email said they are back ordered. Have yet to hear a ship date from customer service. Anyone else experience this recently?

The brackets don't need to be threaded. IIRC the bolts go straight through and are secured with a nut and locking washer

They are only available for the 5' box. As of now

Last time they were on backorder. "When they were first released" Took about 3 extra weeks. "For me at least".

I ordered the RB20’s about 3 weeks ago from Real Truck. They are on backorder and are supposed to ship around the 30th for me.
