Will be installing some

Need advice will be installing these running boards on my truck when they come in . Questions is there a recommended spray to apply to prevent rust between the 2 metals or should I use rubber washers in place to prevent metal on metal contact .

 

Both the truck frame rails and the steps are painted. No need to paint or add washers or anything else to make it harder to install.

 

You can spray some fluid film but just slap them on. I definitely wouldn't do rubber washers as I feel like they would deflect enough to where there would be too much Freeplay when stepping or not allow hardware to be properly tightened

 

These will bolt to the body, not the frame. The holes are already there just covered with plastic tabs. No need to prep just bolt them on

 

I've been running these for close to 2 years. They've taken some decent side hits on trails and held up great, never full weight of the truck though. I wish they dropped a little further down to act more like a step, but they get the job done. No rust on mine.

 

10 minute job, geter done.

 

I spray everything. CRC heavy duty corrosion inhibitor

 

In Arizona of all places.

 

Why fuck around?! I work on it, might as well make it easy for myself. My hood latch is covered, faces of rotors, CMC, leafs, frame etcetc
