Urgent! Do running boards swap from year to year and model to model?

I plan on trading my 07 sport tube steps and roof rack with a member's 04 SR5 boards and roof rack. Do they simply swap?

Thanks in advance!

No one???? It looks good. Do you have 3 brackets on each running board with 2 bolts in each one? Thats what mine has. Also my roof rack has bolts spaced 2 1/4" on center looks like they are in the exact same spot. I cant imagine the engineers would put holes in different spots, because that would require a tooling change and machine configuration changes... And that costs money. The body styles are exact on the roof and the rockers, I cant see it being different. I've been looking at your rack bolts next to mine and they look exact.

I agree with thr roof rack but looking at the rocker panels and reading somewhere last night that they very slightly changed them when they did the refresh is slightly visiblr. I do have the 6 bolts on eash side but looking really closely at the bottoms of the door there are subtke changes. On another forum ppl say we're good to go which I imagine we are. I feel everything is swappabable and I am dtill down.

Up to you.

Yea, I'm still on. I just hope weather permits. Hope it dont rain. That would be my luck.

Hah, rain doesn't bother me. I won't melt. There is a 50% chance for rain. That fine by me.

See ya tomorrow!

Just curious... why? Are the SR5 boards better clearance? Stronger? Is the SR5 rack stronger? Easier to mount things to?

Pure looks for me.
 
They did... Everything was a direct swap. It loos great... On both rigs. Will, your truck is badass. Its the best color, with the sport hood, with the audio almost exactly the way I'm building mine.

Glad it worked out! PICS on this site dont do lifted 4R's justice. Any questions regarding the audio LMK.

Thanks again!
