Ok well I couldn't wait on a paycheck to go buy new running boards so I took my chrome ones off, prepped and rhino lined them with Duplicolor etching primer and Dupli-Color truck bed lining. I took my time and sanded the snot out of them taking off all the shiny chrome finish and then cleaned them to remove oil/ wax and dirt and then painted with the truck lining. They look really good. I applied about 3 coats of primer and about 7 coats of bed liner. Hopefully they will stand up and last a while. Anyway....while I was figuring out how to remove the steps I snapped 3 of the yellow fasteners that secure the step to the boards. Anyone have any of these laying around? I'm gonna check with the dealer tomorrow to see if they can get'em for me. Anybody know where I can get them if not?

 

Those look awesome ...great idea.. i didnt like the chrome either.. so i bought amp steps but those runners would look awesome on a black truck.. post pics with the runners on

 

Thanks man. Will post pics as soon as I get them installed. Got to find the clips first.

 

Cool. Great job on them. I am trying to figure out which ones I want to get for my truck in a few months - but I am getting the bed Line-X'd so I was thinking of trying to find a fairly cheap set that is not in mint condition and have them sprayed at the same time. I would think they would come out killer.

Good luck on finding the clips!

 

Yeah I think they came out great. Just hope the Dupli-Color bed liner holds up. New same kind powder coated ones from the dealer are 360.00 and there's a rhino line place here that would do it for 125 per board. I did it for 60.00.

 

it should hold up well from the sound of it

 

That's a odd clip other than the dealer I would say use some panel glue

 

Try McMaster-Carr.
