Installation Tips

• Clean the Threads: Before installing new bolts, we recommend cleaning the threaded holes in your heater channels with a wire brush to ensure a smooth, secure fit.

• Alignment: Snug the bolts down evenly across the entire length of the running board before doing a final tightening to ensure the board is perfectly aligned with your fenders.

• Anti-Seize: Applying a small amount of anti-seize lubricant to the threads will make any future maintenance or running board replacement much easier.
