Raptor Running Boards on a 2004 Screw
I found a set of Raptor running boards with all mounting hardware on the local craigslist for $200.00. I met the guy at Lowe's parking lot as fast as I could and held the steps up to the side of my truck. It looked like I could make it work, so I handed him the cash, no questions asked. Here are a couple side views.
The rear bracket attached to the stock location. For the front bracket I re drilled the holes in the bottom lip of the cab and used the threaded clips. For the top attachment point I used a self tapping sheet metal screw and washer, the stock holes did not match up. I only used 1 screw in the top on the front and it is really solid.
I had to make a little cutout with a dremel in the underside of the fender flare so they would mount flush.
I think they look great and give me some more ground clearance, I have also noticed that they are wider and the line x type finish gives good traction when climbing in.
So for those of you wondering if they fit. Here is some proof. Good luck on finding a set for a good price.
