Running boards / side steps

[magus]

I installed mine by myself in about an hour. If you have the rear air suspension option you have to work around the lines when you install the support brackets. At first, I thought the Romik's would not work with the rear air, but really, there wasn't a lot to it.

Really happy with the look and functionality and the price seems quite reasonable - believe mine were $379.

They look nice. Do they just attach at two places with support arms like standard truck nerf bars?

 

[magus]

Yes, front and rear. The instructions are pretty basic but you'll finally figure it out.

Ok, just good info for people to have. If you plan to do more serious off road then you may want to consider something that is a true rock slider. I have a friend with a newer F-150 that has/had something like this and managed to break them pretty easily doing some off roading. They don't support the weight of the truck well if you put it up on them.

The Romik's definately don't look like they will hold up to much off road. For me there is a little utility as a "step-up", but really I just prefer the look of the LR4 with nerf bars. Roof rack next!

I agree with mbw. I would say If you plan any rock climbing, investment in rock sliders pays back very quickly. One mistake and your repair is much more that cost of solid rock sliders that cover the compressor and air tank.
In addition they may be used as side steps too.

Which brand are yours TLB?

 

[TLB]

They are made by Tactical Rovers.
Rock solid., heavy duty stuff. My rock sliders have nerf bars but you can get them without nerf bars too.

Looking awesome, TLB!

I agree, the Tactical Rovers rock sliders are the toughest you can get - definitely provide the most protection. I have the Urban Offroad, which are good, but do not provide much protection for the air compressor unit. The Tactical Rover sliders are great because they cover all those components (including the air tank). The only drawback I think is the weight and you need to lift up the EAS.

I think they all are great products. I've got the Voyager Sliders and I love them. They dont protect as far inward either but I think they are a great product. I didnt want something that could vibrate but would protect the doors and sills. If I ever feel like im doing anything rough enough to mess up the compressor I would get something else to protect that or have a local shop make me something.
