How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Westin Sure Grip Running Boards. Essentially, the weight on this guy is pretty sturdy. I'm confident (door banging) stepping onto it to step into the truck and out, putting my tire weight on it. Decent amount of space to get your foot on, feels really good as far as where it gives you to walk and does go all the way to the rear on your double cab model and still very sturdy going across. So very confident in that. So overall, really, really good step.
A few of the features that we're gonna have, each end is gonna have an injection molded rubberized polymer on the end and that's gonna protect you against running into it, giving you a little bit of additional padding and also it'll help a lot with road debris that will be kicked up from your wheel to keep the aluminum powder coat from scratching, speaking of the aluminum, it's made from an extruded aluminum process that Westin uses. They go with the extruded aluminum over the cast because extrusions are gonna allow you to have a lot more firmness, it's gonna be a more structurally rigid part and versus die cast aluminum casting, it's gonna hold up a lot better and come out a lot smoother. So that's how you're gonna be able to get that to adhere pretty well. As far as the mat, you actually have a rubberized mat and the surface on this guy is gonna be right at four and a half inches, as far as the space, your overall space, you're coming out right at five and a half and let's see, the thickness that we're gonna get, it is a little bit, I would say right at two and a quarter inches as far as the thickness of it. The entire step itself is aluminum.
However, the brackets that are gonna help protect your vehicle's rocker panel where you secure it, those guys are gonna be made of steel and just basically 'cause it's gonna be subject to the bottom of the vehicle, it's gonna be a lot more sturdier, it's supporting weight and you have three points of contact that bolt directly into the underside of the vehicle. You don't have to worry about having to drill with this installation and that makes it one of the easier running boards that we have to install. So I would say that if you were looking for something that's a real easy improvement to get a better stepping in and outta your vehicle, you can't go wrong with this one.

I like them. The only drawback is the treadwidth. We have to turn our feet ifewYs to get a good foothold on the running board.
These running boards were an easy 2 person installation. The added sleeve to fill the gap keeps the side and bottom of doors clean by most of so much easier to get in and out of the truck
Order placed 1/1/24. Received 1/4/24. Two boxes, 1 with running boards, second with hardware, all good. 2 black plastic "J-strips" in long box not included on parts list nor described in instructions (packing spacers?). Broke two square head bolts off while tightening nylon nuts holding running boards onto support brackets - very soft, be careful. Running boards otherwise look great and appear well built. Other aspects of install on 2024 4-Runner were straight forward and were completed in about 75 minutes.
Fit perfectly to replace my damaged running board
It was easy to install. Had 2 extra parts in box that the instructions did not cover. I called the 800 number and the person new what I was talking about right away. He explained where it went and how to install it. It only took me and a helper about 45 minutes to install.
VERY happy with the finished product. There were a couple steps not called out in the instructions that I had to figure out*, but once I did... all went together easy enough. First side I installed, the passenger side, took about an hour, and the driver side took about 30 mins.
*First was a trim strip that comes in the box. Had to figure out how to mate them to each running board. Also, on my wife's 2023 4Runner, there was a small (~2" x 5") piece of plastic in front of each rear wheel. My hunch is that it's to protect against stuff getting flung up. Had to remove those from each side to make room for the running boards. Once removed, all just came together easily.
The runningboards that where installed a year ago are still looking brand new. It made a great addition to my Explorer, not just for the look but for the practical use. My wife who needs that extra step is grateful. etrailer did an awesome job helping picking the right product for my vehicle, the sale and installation.
Not only stylish but worked perfectly for the lift application for my handicap wife
I really like these runningboards. They look great on the truck they were nicely. Everything is good.
Love it but it was missing one bolt for the running board M 8 square head bolt
Great product and easy installation. It only took about one hour to install these and they look great. Perfect fit for my 2019 Colorado.
Arrived 1 day early. Installed it in less than an hour and a half. Looks fantastic. Did not have to drill any holes. Simple bolt up install. Instructions were okay , would suggest using the [online] video- very helpful. Looking to now order a hitch
Kit was delivered promptly. Installation instructions were clear. There was even a note in the instructions about excess paint likely to exist on specific frame bolts. My only suggestion in this case would be to use a die to clear the threads. I purchased one separately to fix this issue. I could not get the nuts on otherwise, and I didn't want to strip the threads.
Other than that hiccup, installation was a breeze.
They need another brace that I will make. The rear mount flexes the metal on the cab. Fit good but not real sturdy.
Easy to install, look great. Another trouble free order. Keep it up and I'll be back
I recommend this running boards. If you are determined you can install by yourself. It took me approximately 1.5 hours for each side.
Overall looks good and helps with the kids.
easy install & look great !!!
Good quality. Definitely recommend a second person just to give a hand and check to make sure it's even. Very sturdy and decent amount for stepping on and off.
GREAT Product! Price was perfect. Fits well, looks like OEM and actually looks better than the Ford sidestep (non electric).
Needs: perhaps a little wider and a taller gap from step to door. My foot slipped a few times on entry and on exit, not much room to step on. That is my only grip....Overall and outstanding product!
Quick delivery. Extremely nice running boards and easy to install. What a difference they make on my 4runner. Thank you for your service.
Looks great ! It could have been awesome if it’s in chrome , to match the vehicle’s trim .
Looks great on my 2019 Ford Explorer. Easy installation, took me and friend 1.5 hours without lift.
Customer service was great and product arrived before expected date.
