Taken em OFF

[NateDawg]

When I take the running boards off, do I wanna take jsut them, or the 3 "L" type brackets as well??

I removed the whole thing, running board with L brackets attached.

You'll want to take off the brackets, I think it would look funny with no boards and brackets hanging down.

Here's a pic with no boards or brackets:

definitely all of it.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I finally got under neath it, and the back and middle brackets come off EASILY, but the front ones are like...CRAZY. They arent anything like the other two...What I i need to do to get the front one off....1998.

On the front brackets you will only take one bolt and one nut off, they are partly built into the frame. When you are finished you should have 5 sets of nuts/bolts.

Which bolt? Then one on the top or bottom...the bottom one looks like a square nut, that looks to be welded to the frame>? The top one is practically unreachable...

 

[Ill4Runner]

I was stuck on the same problem, just take your rachet and crank on the nut you can see. Some WD 40 might help loosen it too, they've been on there for a while.

Not trying to make this more difficult than it is...LOL, but i can see both...the welded one more easily but at the top there is a hole with a normal looking nut...HARD TO REACH. which, specifcally?
( thanks for your patience)
