Nice photoshop on the license plate :) Was wondering why only one tow hook was covered up until I zoomed in.
I think that was Google photos. Magic eraser. ?

If your looking for running boards only, EVbase is my choice. They are the most economically priced and the new design is nice. They are sturdy too. I have a code for 20% off as well.

All the options are good though and if you need rock sliders for off road protection then its EVsportline or DCE.

I did a video on the EVBASE running boards.

Did you install the plastic panels back? Thanks

I've been looking for a set too. At the moment I'm not liking any of the available ones. I'm more concerned about the ground clearance of #1 vs. #2. I'd get #1 because it's so cheap IF the ground clearance was the same. The other (minor) issue with #2 is the shipping. It's not a very complicated part. I'm not convinced that there is that much difference between one and the other in terms of load bearing etc. Let us know what you end up getting.

Shipping is worse for EV base bec it’s coming from China. I called a couple on installers and told me that I have to make sure they send the right one with the socket, a bunch of them are mis labeled passenger is labeled as driver. With this, I am still undecided bec if it takes a month to order if something goes wrong, it would take another month to get corrected. Also I have a Gen 2 and not sure if it would work.

Yes I cut the plastic panels and put them back and I wound up sealing them up with some RV roof repair patch. I'm waiting to see how well that holds up.

For Gen 2, I can't guarantee it will work. Would need to see the mounting points underneath to see if they match up with Gen 1.

For anyone looking at running boards/sliders, EV Sportline is advertising 12 months of 0% APR through Affirm, which would bring Sliders to $175 a month over 12 months.

I was trying to be good, and cut spending. First a R1T deal (employee referral, MY23 incentives) drops in my lap, now this.
