The other day after a good downpour when I was getting into my truck I about busted my *** in front of a lot of people. (And it's not the first time this is happened, i'm just now fed up with it lol)
I'm sure 99% of us that don't have a grab handle grab a hold of the steering wheel to pull ourselves into these trucks.

The plastic on these runningboards are slippery as hell. They have absolutely zero grip texture to them whatsoever.

I am considering going to Lowes and purchasing one of these http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?...llow&cId=PDIO1 to put in the area on the running board that I'm always stepping on to get some kind of traction.
Anyone else consider this or have done this?

Yep, I have seen pics on here somewhere from someone who has done the same with the grip tape.

I very rarely step on the running boards, never use the grab handle either
Is your truck lifted ?

No,it's all stock.

I removed my running boards first thing on mine when I got it. I hate those things. They are bad to get your pants dirty too when you get out of it if you don't step on them.

Grip tape would probably help. I also moved my running boards about 2" out (extension brackets), it makes them a whole lot more usable and safer too.

I've been putting the grip tape method off for a while now and need to do this. I wear dress shoes for work and if it's raining or dew on the running boards, i'll sometimes slip if i'm not careful.

Pics?
Where did you get the extension brackets from?

I did the grip tape on the front steps only. It does help. Heres how to make the extensions

Amp power steps rock compared to stock. Very sure footing.
