Has anyone tried these pseudo rock rails?

I have these on my future purchase list, except I will get the steps for an EL model

I have seen them.
My worry is they are aluminum which is quite soft.
I would certainly have them coated with LineX or Raptor Liner to add some strength.

I’ll likely spend a touch more for these

Well here is the preview. Still installing the driver’s side.

Look pretty good.
How is the install?

 

[Eric Mowrer]

Super easy. Factory holes. I reused factory hardware.
Steel brackets that clamp on the aluminum rail. 2x 10mm bolts on each clamp.

I torqued the clamp bolts tight and never deformed the aluminum rails. I’m 270lb and they don’t flex.

If I keep them, I will get them coated with Line-X.

$195 with free shipping from runningboardwarehouse.com.

Not bad

What's the point of the down-protruding part? Is it supposed to be the new-lowest-point of your vehicle and make the rail take the hits for you?

Also, could you photograph how it mounts up? I've got some super-jury-rigged nerfs (seems like they sent me the wrong ones, but I procrastinated past the return period..
and had to improvise, with power tools) and been curious how it was SUPPOSED to be attached

This is just a running board made to look like rock rails. It’s not going to “take a hit”. Rock rails to support this beast would be massive and would have to be frame mounted. Honestly, you would have to be crazy to rock crawl with an Expedition. That’s what Wranglers are for.

Nice, but the price seems to me to be a bit high?
