i removed mine cause i ordered some sliders :D but many people remove them because they like the look, if i wasnt adding sliders, id probably still take the running boards off, they get in the way and arent that appealing.
i didnt even use an extension, i guess im used to scraping my knuckles and losing some skin here and there :D
12mm socket, right? i believe thats what it is..
perhaps your socket is a bit bigger and youre not getting a good grip?
unusually tight? ...like, will not budge?
I removed my running boards a week ago, and with a little muscle, they broke free.
pardon my ignorance, but righty tighty, lefty loosy. :D
pardon me again, but make sure youre turning the right bolts.
:D

Im in the process of scrapping my XREAS and replacing it with a toytec ultimate lift :D
A buddy of mine is working up a design for a rear bumper, he has made a few prototypes that he has sold, however each one is different. So, he and i are going to work something up
:D
You both have amazing rides! thanks for the feedback.
I have read on this site about the long wait times for SW, but if that is what i end up going with, im sure i could tough it out.
Im still absolutely torn, Dawg4runner, your rig is actually one of the first i looked at when i joined this...
After a few months of research, I am torn between a Schrockworks front bumper. And the Perkins Performance front bumper.
I dont think ive seen many perkins performance items around, as they also make rear bumpers, sliders, and roof racks.
I see a lot of schrockworks stuff around.
I love the...
ARB does make bolt on sliders with the textured steel step plate, but i dont think they make any for the 4runner.
