1995-2001 Ford Explorer 4 Door (Excl. 02 Body Style) (*Will Not Fit Models With Mud Flaps) Polish Finish 6 Inch iRunning Board Door to Door Side Bar Side Step Running Board

Good looking, easy install, solid step

They were very good quality for the price

Your Running boards are beautifully manufactured with unique brackets coated with rust-proof paints. However, the bolts for attaching the brackets are stainless steel and will rust over time... so I painted them with rust inhibitor after installation

No more pads available for our original nerf bars so decided to replace with these Irunning boards. Very nice. I like the solid one piece step. The chrome on the board matches the chrome on our Silverado perfectly. I would add we had these professionally installed as I didn't have an impact drill to remove difficult bolt.

No problems at all with Real Truck ordering or shipping. That all went well. The only disappointment I have from a manufacturing standpoint is that aluminum colored tape is used to cover the welds of the end caps and I also needed to shim the front mounting brackets to keep the boards from rubbing the rocker panels, but that has more to do with the Tacoma's sheet metal than with the brackets. A few washers did the trick. I purchased the polished boards which have more shine to them than I thought they would. If I were to do it again I think the brushed aluminum would've looked better on my truck. I can live with it though. The instructions aren't super clear but the brackets are labeled for driver and passenger sides and installation was easy enough and all the fasteners fit well and did not require any drilling in this case. Over all, I'm satisfied.

These boards look nice. I weigh about 270 and they flex pretty bad when I step on them. I installed them on a 2020 Dodge Ram 1500 Bighorn Crew Cab with the new body style. The bracket have 4 holes each, but you only use 2 holes in each bracket and the holes are slotted. I don't particularly like that as it seems cheesy. There are 3 studs on the truck for running board brackets, why not use all 3?

The assembly was easy and appears structurally sound. The only complaint I have is the aluminum finish on both ends of both boards. They stain and the stains do not come off with conventional car wash soaps. I do not do anything but regular street driving and the ends nearest the tires have very harsh stains on them. I had to buy a special cleaner/polish to get them where they are not so obvious. They still did not come completely clean and now are forever in the finish. The long piece that faces out is ok, it's just nearest the tires. I'm actually disappointed. I've only had them a few months.

The Installation Directions were hard to read (font too small) and the pictures lacked the detail and clarity needed for installation. Installation was difficult and we had to resort to a U-Tube video to get a better idea of where and how the mounting brackets were to be installed. I like the running boards. The look and function is good.

The ordering process went well, and I received the product in a timely manner. The day I tried to install the running boards, there was a huge problem. First of all, the entire hardware for the installation was contained within one plastic bag. Nothing was labeled, and all the measurements were metric. It took more time to separate and figure out which screws and bolts were which. I successfully installed the driver side running board. When I tried to install the passenger side running board, there was a huge problem. Even though the computer ordering system indicated these running boards were compatible with my 2023 Dodge Ram crew cab 2500, they weren't. The passenger side front bracket wouldn't fit my truck. The driver side front bracket was a two piece bracket that needed to be assembled together. I called Real Truck, and they weren't aware of any problems like this. After about a week, APS told Real Truck that I would need to remove the driver side running board, and check to see if the two piece bracket system would work for the passenger side. I informed Real Truck I felt like APS was using me as one of their employees. I felt it was there job to come up with the solution to the problem when they indicated these running boards would fit my truck. I eventually took the driver's side running board off and then removed the front driver's side bracket. I tried it on the passenger side, and it worked just fine. Real Truck decided to give me a discount after I told them what I thought when it came to APS. I asked Real Truck to have APS refund my entire purchase price since I came up with the solution for their problem. The only thing APS did was send me an entire install kit, minus the running boards, when all I needed was another 2 piece bracket for the front. APS could have saved a bunch of money by just sending the two pieces I needed, along with the additional screws and bolts needed to complete the install. All the money they wasted on sending the entire install kit could have just been refunded to me. APS needs to educate themselves on customer service!

2019 Ram 3500 Crew Cab. Purchased in January or 2020. Stay away from these running boards. They're flimsy and don't have enough support. I've had them on my truck for over a month and wish I would have bought American made. It blows me away!!! First they shorted me a nut and one had absolutely no threads in it so I wasn't able to complete the install. Then it took a month to get me 2 nuts but hey sent me all the brackets and supports (which was nice but can't use them twice when all I needed was two nuts). There's only one extra support by the drivers door is the only reason it has any stability. The passenger side is squishy like a wet noodle with no extra support and they don't make any so you're just screwed. Cool 😎
