No Running Boards

[RaginCajun013]

Can someone who has taken off the running boards on their 4th gen please post a pic? I am thinking of doing it, but would like to see the final result first. Thanks!!

take 'em off.. your bruised ankles and dirty pants will thank you (at least they always bothered me when climbing in/out)

no lift.. stock tires

I really like the look w/o the running board, here is mine!

Much better I have to say so.: I have seen those come off more often then none when you hit a good size rock.

I'm running about 3 inches up front and 2 3/4 in the rear. The tires are Nitto Terragrapplers at 265.70.17.

The lift setup is Downey coilovers up front and the OME medium spring/shock combo in the rear

Thats the first thing I did when I got mine was take off the boards. Looks better and doesn't get my pant legs dirty when I go into work! Took under 30 minutes to do. Just crawl under, loosen the bolts and they're off! Plus a tip I heard if you ever go off roading is you should remove them cause if you bottom out on a rock or hill they can jam into your door jambs and jam you in... *jam on*

I have been wanting to do this for sometime now, looking at the pictures pushed me over. I'm doing this next weekend...:biggrin2:

I did'nt have running boards , but tube steps on my 06 sport , just took them off this afternoon. Took about a half hour and can always put them back on just as easy.

Looks better IMO.

it looks really good with the cornfed lift it makes your vehicle look like it sits a little higher.

Anyone have some before and after (or just after) pictures of a 2nd generation without the running boards? Mine don't get in the way, but all suvs look more trucklike if you take the boards off.
