Really look good, nice job.

SSX · 11-13-2011, 04:50 PM

Looks great.

My running boards also need to be repainted. What paint did you use?

Thanks.

Looks good.
IMHO, that the way it should have been from the factory.

DOOPHUS · 11-13-2011, 05:36 PM

Very , CJ.

CJ · 11-13-2011, 08:51 PM

i will find the receipt tomorrow and list the paint and clear. used bulldog promoter as well

used Rust-Oleum Truck bed coating on the running board braces and top of the boards themselves
went on easy and dried fast and stopped rust too

A brave man did a very beautiful thing.

You desire a SSR salute.

shakemyhand · 11-14-2011, 04:53 PM

Very Cool CJ, I'm envious.

CJ · 11-14-2011, 10:08 PM

thanks guys

That is classy! Nice idea.
I had followed Sharptoys advice and ordered from ebay a product called Forever Black. Amazing. It really brought the running boards back from ''chalky white crappy'' looking to better than new. I had used 3M restore black but it only lasted a month. Forever Black has been on for months and looks brand new. And its easy- just wipe on. Done.
I really didn't have the time to do a professional job like CJ n Shagy did. Maybe next time.

Looks great!

The rubber is only held on with 3M tape. I took mine off and had Lonnie lower and tuck them 3" so you don't drag your feet on them getting in and out.
Painted to match R and Linex bed liner on the ribs. Did this about 4yrs ago.

You can send your brackets to Lonnie, he has a fixture to cut and lower brackets. Sends them back and you do the install.

You did a good job, by the way.

Dicktator

1. Board removed and rubber.
2. Lonnie, Sinister Kustoms, reinstalling boards.
3. Boards are lowered & tucked 3" but do not touch the body of the R
4. Finished look
5. Looks lower but is not

Looks Great! And what do birds know about SSRs anyway?

ubuck · 11-16-2011, 03:25 PM

Did mine the exact same way when I recently added the chrome wheels. Color matched the boards and used bedliner on the top ribs.

One of the best "mods" I made, thanks to the advice of the Fanatics here~
