replacie running board on '03 Limited - how complicated?
Like a bozo, I ran over a high curb and mashed one of the lighted running boards on my 2003 Limited.

I've got a used replacement that looks like an exact match.

How complicated is it to do the swap? Just a socket wrench and connect up the wiring? Or is it best left to a body shop?

Thanks....

Super easy. Just get under there and start taking it out. Once you realize how easy it was you will laugh that you posted this question lol

This.

Here is a visual of my old boards removed. Nothing to it. Remove some bolts and they just drop right off.
