...as time goes by, I kinda like the looks w/o them. I keep them on for my mom & remove them when I go offroading. I'm getting closer to ordering some Demello Bolt-On Sliders...

Here are a couple pics of my 05 Sport that i took today. IMHO, I really like the way it changed the look of my runner. Very simple mod as well :lookout:

So far today I have gone outside twice to remove the running boards. Each time I get positioned under the truck and decide not to.

I think some look good with them removed and some look bad. I know I could just remove one side and see for myself but I just can't decide.

Had it off one weekend so I could install my sliders...

Soooo easy to do. Took a total of 10 minutes. Putting them back on im sure is a little more difficult... but with 2 people should be just as easy. To me, 4runners without running boards look somewhat lifted. I can't wait till I get my 3" lift put on...

:nono: I dont know why somebody would want to do that, its a most usefull part of the truck, I us it everyday, dozens of times. Without them you have to be a gymnast to crawl inside. I can see some people get rid of them for offroading. Particulary Limiteds have nice looking color matched set with aftermarket LEDs looks not as plain and boring as without them

810moto, you're the first one i've seen with 3d gen rims. Those are 16's, right?

I like the looks of the 4R w/o them, keep in mind though; If you have a girlfriend or wife, they will likely complain.

I reinstalled mine.

I'm about to remove mine, as my truck isn't lifted and is still on 265/65/16 tires. The truck is low enough to the ground that they aren't actually needed, and they're so narrow that I don't use them getting out - when it snows I just end up getting salt all over my uniform around the calves. It becomes a pain in the a** after a while. :frusty::ybrick:

2 hours later (removed by hand), they're gone. The truck looks much better, I no longer get salt all over my legs when getting in/out of it, and there's less space for the snow/ice to accumulate. :-)

How do I remove my fourth gen boards?
 
Really like the way these all look with running boards removed.

Could someone who has successfully done so tell me what tools I need/steps I need to do it? I have a 2008 SR5. Thanks!
