RealWheels EV Stainless Steel Running Boards

[Stevetom84]

@BeanEW and @Cte515 - thanks for the info about the sharpness of the extruded holes. I've joined the club with these running boards. There is no sharpness at all. I hate that the other brands say "R1T" or have other branding on them. I think these are best looking steps available right now.

Pics of mine on my blue R1T with matte PPF.

Looks great! Did you do the install yourself? Seems like most people have no issues and in some ways the most frustrating part is pulling off the panels. Roughly how long was it from order to receiving?

Yes, did the install myself. The worst part is the plastic panels, putting them back on. I ended up using "excessive force" with a rubber mallet to get the clips to reattach. Sitting them in the sun to warm up helped me a lot as well. On my truck, the plastic panels needed to deform a little bit around the new brackets for the running boards. I started trying to carve out plastic with a Dremel, but letting them heat up in the sun and smashing them with a rubber mallet was way easier.

I think I had the running boards delivered 6 days after ordering. Much faster than I was expecting.

Nice and thanks for the tip about letting the plastics heat up in the sun a bit!

Here's a photo of what I meant by "deform a little bit". That bump is the metal bracket underneath pushing into the back of the plastic.

Got the shipping confirmation just a few hours after ordering yesterday and looks like they are arriving tomorrow. I was honestly expecting a week or 2 to get these, so definitely a nice surprise with the super fast dispatch!

Do you have any installers in So Cali by chance?

What area specifically? I'm sure we have someone relatively close by you.

To OP... I already had your running boards installed; however, I'm just wondering how much weight they support because I wanted to know if two people can step on them at the same time?
