After my little kick in the *** I figured now would be a good time.

So heres my solution. I taped off my APP package running boards so that only the raised bumps were exposed. Then grabbed the can of clear slip doctor anti slip coating used for bathtubs steps etc. (used on our boat worked great) and sprayed away. Let dry. Bingo, couldn't even slip if I tried now. Don't know why I didn't think of this before but man it worked awesome. Im sure any clear antislip bathtub coating would do the trick, just had a can of slip doctor already. Best part is you can't see it at all, looks like nothing was applied.

Hope this saves a few guys out there, I know I've heard plenty comments from others on them being dangerous at times.

I actually recently (Oct) slipped off my side step on my XTR screw and fractured 2 metatarsels in my left foot. Still in a cast. Gotta wait for the snow to go away before I do this tho. It's ugly as **** out here.

On my 06 I had the Ford steps and had the same thing happen to me one dark night. Upside down on my freaken back on a black top parking lot… OUCH!! No serious damage but was sore for a few days. Just lucky cause it could have been really serious if one hit their head going down!

If someone is going to install running boards the Amps are really sweet…. also a very cool option but they are a bit pricey!!

Great idea on making the other type RB's much safer…………
