Running Boards

Truck running boards, also called tube steps or side bars, are an essential truck accessory. Because a running board functions as a step for entering and exiting raised trucks as well as providing extra protection from rocks, gravel and road debris, they need to be strong and reliable. However, they also add a distinctive style to your truck, particularly when they are painted to blend in with your vehicle's paint job.

Lund running boards are extremely popular, but many manufacturers including Owens, Back Country, and Deflecta-Shield offer a wide variety of high quality running board for different tastes and include:

• fiberglass running boards
• diamond plate running boards
• stainless steel running boards or
• aluminum running boards.

Features of a running board

Here are a few features you may want to look for when purchasing your running board:

• Strong and highly impact-resistant.
• Fast and easy installation.
• Slip-resistant step pads, possibly rubberized.
• Corrosion resistant finish.
• Full-length vs. two piece applications.
• Lighted or non-lighted options are available.
• Custom fit mounting kit.
• Custom-painted trim elements to match your trucks color.
