Running Boards & Nerf Bars

WHY DO YOU NEED RUNNING BOARDS?

It takes quite the truck to get through the tough winters in Canada. The snow can pile up, requiring a truck with some hefty clearance. But high clearance can make a truck difficult to get in and out of. You want an intimidating truck that will also be welcoming to your friends and family, being able to get up and into your truck with ease. For most people, that means buying a running board or nerf bar. A running board is a simple, slender board that runs down the side of your truck. Experts have designed this board to be bolted onto the underside of your truck, right into the frame. Small arms come out from underneath the truck and hold the board into place. These boards and bars serve as steps that support one’s weight when getting into your truck, Jeep, or SUV.

Running boards and step bars are meticulously designed to provide ample foot space to ensure stability when accessing your truck or Jeep’s cabin. They feature non-slip step pads that maintain a firm footing even during rainy or snowy conditions. These boards and bars prevent rocks and debris from hitting or scratching your truck or Jeep’s doors or side panels. Running boards and nerf bars (also called side steps and step bars) are available in a variety of styles to accommodate different preferences. Step bars and running boards typically come in a chrome or black finish so coupling them with your Jeep or truck’s wheels and other exterior accessories is sure to be easy. As with most decisions involving cars, selecting a running board or nerf bar is not so simple.

Standard Running Boards

Standard running boards get the job done. They normally run the length of your passenger doors. However, they can be made to run along the entire length of two doors or just sit under one door for a two-seater. Standard boards are simple in design and appearance, featuring one length of grooved footholds.

Molded Running Boards

Molded boards are slightly more customized. These boards feature individual footholds for each passenger which guides them into the proper truck mounting position. The molded footholds feature aggressive foot grips which are ideal for those icy Canadian winters. These boards are a bit more fashionable and utilitarian than standard boards.

Stainless Steel & Aluminum Running Boards

Stainless steel is an incredibly durable metal, especially for the snow, ice, and road salt. The steel will not rust throughout its lifetime. Aluminum is also an incredibly durable and lightweight metal. These running boards should be used by people who are conscious of performance because they will not add a lot of weight to the vehicle.

Lighted Running Boards

For added safety, some manufacturers produce lighted running boards. These illuminated boards allow you to see where you're stepping on in dimly-lit conditions. Lighted running boards have been highly regarded by those who have to work in remote areas and those who use their truck for work in the winter.

Retractable Running Boards

Automated retractable running boards readily pop out and lower from underneath the truck. These add some flare to your vehicle and will have your ride dressed to impress. They allow your truck to look like it just rolled off the lot while giving you all the advantages of having a running board. Plus, they will retract and not get caught up on rocks or stumps while off-roading. It is the ultimate choice in utilitarian luxury.
