Got my Raptor boards.
Recently traded for these. Brand new Raptor Running Boards for a SCREW with brand new Brackets and hardware.Installed them this morning. I really like how un-cluncky they are as opposed to the FX4 boards...but boy do these way a ton. Probably 20 pounds more than the FX boards. Install is totally straight forward. I re-used my existing 13mm bolts and retainer nuts. The only difference between the FX4 boards and these are the mounting bracket need 4 4mm screws a piece as opposed to just 2 for each bracket on the FX4. Otherwise its a straight match up. I would recommend a friend but you can do it alone if you have a little leg strength a and dexterity. Thread in the 2 bottom 13mm screws on each side first then adjust and tighten up. Fairly simple. The material is really like bed liner and very sticky like sandpaper. My boots would slip off the FX4 sides all the time but these thing are like glue. Anyways, my 2 cents. If you do like them just wait and find them for a deal. I also love the AMP stuff, but am trying to leave all the electrical alone on this truck.
And wonder woman ....because she's hot!

Looks good for sure!
I installed my S-Cab Raptor boards 10 days ago and like 'em even more than I thought for reasons you stated. I installed 'em solo by propping up one side to prox mtg height while swinging other side up and starting one screw into a speed clip. Very easy...
BTW, Raptor take-off parts really seem to be drying up as inventory of new trucks is depleted. Raptor S-Cab parts even more scarce (other than wheels having common fit to all Raptor versions). I've been looking for a fresh Raptor S-Crew exhaust take-off (same OA length as my S-Cab 6.5' box) for quite awhile using Search Tempest but no luck within reasonable driving distance. My thinking is that supply of fresh parts will become even scarcer soon, unless one is willing to accept buying "well used" stuff...

Thanks!
Yes, the Raptor parts are becoming really tough to find. My friend is looking for SCAB boards and that's for more than a year. 3 months for me. Wonderwoman pics when I get home lol!

Looks sweet, I want. Do they provide a larger area to step on or is the footprint about the same?

I posted these a while back. They are located in Oklahoma City area. I would give it a shot if someone is looking for SCAB running boards. They have been in Craig's list for a while now.
