This is the second truck Ive put these steps on. Had my other truck 5 years, survived abuse, never slick with snow and ice, put them on in less than an hour by myself. Your crazy not to buy these!

Don't be fooled, these boards are no longer a smooth coated finish. The mud scraper brackets are "NOT INCLUDED". They mount to the rocker panels and inner body not the frame. I needed to place a piece of wood between the slats as not to bend metal. Sure they look tough, but I have my doubts due to where they mount. I have my personel issues with the "new" styling and accessories not included, but these were the look I wanted.

I ordered my Rugged Steps in January and they arrived in about a week. It only took me about 1 hour to install. The only real problem I had was getting a mounting bolt loose from my truck. Other than that they look great and the directions were pretty straight forward. Even for a Carpenter. Very Pleased!!

These are tough, heavy duty running boards. Not smooth and sleek. All steel construction. Although my truck was pre-drilled, it is four years old and some of the nuts were rusted. I could not install myself. I took it to my local garage and they did it for $100. They had to cut out the old nuts and tap weld new ones in place. Something to consider. We had heavy slushy snow here in Michigan that clogged up between the rail grating. Noticeable, but melted. My kids and wife love them.

Very good quality and once i figured out the horrible directions, they were easy to install by myself. Directions were minimal, could have more details and use more pictures.

The overall design is good. However, the bolts on the t-brackets are spot welded on 2 sides instead of welded all the way around. When I was installing them, 2 of these brackets broke just from tightening them mildly. The inner fins running from front to back bend when you are tightening the t brackets so i had to put a piece of wood in-between them so they wouldn't. Customer service was ok. Emailed them and told them about the broken bracket and they sent 2 more right away but no phone call or follow up. I like them but the design needs to be changed and a torque spec on tightening them would be nice.
