Nice. Wish I could have kept mine on...Wife had me take them off and transfer my amps over from my fx4. And though they are nice...I still miss the look and simplicity of the oem boards.

Time online viewing ads for Raptor boards finally paid off in an odd sense. Not by scoring a set for my S-Cab -yet- but by visually determining whether advertised boards fit S-Crew or S-Cab if not so described. Although I knew that S-Crew are longer, difference maybe obvious to some but not to me until now is that; S-Crew has pattern of 12 louvers (2 + 9 +1) whereas shorter S-Cab has 10 louvers (2 + 7 + 1). Maybe this tip will help someone likewise looking!

Update:

Couple of months later, scored this pair of used Raptor S-Cab side boards from A.D.D. last Saturday. Cleaned 'em up and installed next day. They are cast aluminum and spray coated with matching bed liner as stated in posts 1 & 2, so plenty of durability and non-slip traction. Shorter mounting brkts increase ground clearance vs FX4 boards which was one of my objectives.

BTW, after washing 'em, sprayed and rubbed in the stuff below which was recommended by a Line-X shop for my jeep plastic hardtop (Line-X applied years ago after the factory paint badly faded. This stuff really makes bed liner look fresh again and lasts quite awhile before needing another coat:
