Side Steps / Running Boards recommendations?

Well.. at least one person is looking forward to watching it.
How are things coming along on that preorder for the rear control arm shielding? Ready to pay the balance whenever you’re ready to make them.
Did we get a lot of takers?

need just a few more, bump your other thread?

Yep. Will keep bumping. It’s @CT_AZ_4x4 ’s thread though. I just tagged along because I think those are an awesome idea.

Will yours work with the terrestrial armor package from Tesla?

No, they will not.
@Unpluggedperformance has a much more robust Under Armor that protects beyond battery, and our rocker panels/sliders are also stronger, and protect your door while acting as a step. They mount on the side, so you won't break them off like the unites that bolt on from underneath.

I picked these because I thought they were the best for the money and look great:

In a year and a half of use they are rock solid, no damage from rock chips etc. And most importantly no rust in the running boards or the hardware because they are all stainless. I've seen several others where the boards look fine but the hardware is rusting or even sone where brackets or the boards are rusting. These have been great since the day I bought them. I would buy them again in a heartbeat. I routinely get compliments on them.

Any opinion of the motorized version of running boards that have come out since your blog?

Well since I don't have a set hard to comment other than wouldn't you lose some ground clearance when stored under the vehicle? I'm not sure what powers then or how the proximity switch works so I would need to research that before commenting. In climates with snow and ice do they jam up? Last but not least what are they made out of?

I'm going to give these a try. I was thinking with the retractable I don't have to worry about snow and mud accumulating on the boards.

Not excited that there aren't any reviews, but they look like the Texstudio version.

Well let us know how it goes but you will certainly lose ground clearance.

I haven't off-road driven and if I do it will be an exception... I can always remove them for the rare outing.

Hi All,

Just curious which side steps/running boards you picked and why. I like the Unplugged Performance and Lucky's Fabshop iterations the best so far. Higher priced but keeps the look I like. Looking to see what others went with and thoughts after installation.

I just had the UP Bars installed this weekend. Love love them.
