Running Boards and Lighting?


Very very frightening!

Boards off looks good. I need to keep mine on due to the wife and kids though.

Color? I don't know. But I do know my "yellow" BD fogs work very well.

Like many here, I would probably not have the boards except for my wife being so short-legged. I'm about to order some today, actually. Sometimes it just needs to be all about her.

Merry Christmas, y'all!

Why not sport these Bushwackers? They're black so would finish the lower nicely and protect as well...I have them and they're great for sill protection...my sliders function as steps to get to the roof and windshield but they're great as first line defense against door swingers...?

So just kind of experimenting this is two layers of yellow two layers of orange and then two layers of yellow. Definitely gives it a deeper true amber color instead of bumblebee yellow. I am a little curious what the result would be if I did two layers of Orange on top of this.

Performance lights, yellow have better penetration through weather...Amber/orange falls in accordance with FMVSS for marker/signal/warning lamps...as for steps, looks like you're all in on heavy duty so why not go the extra mile and use "sliders" as steps? They'll help protect your rocker in case you do make contact... :wink:

Projected lighting, Yellow for fog and ditch...White for long distance...Amber for all markers and turn...

Strongly prefer running boards, especially if not doing off-road. Looks incomplete to me without them. Plus shorter people find them very useful for getting in and out.
