Westin Running Boards Installation - 2015 Chevrolet Traverse

Today on our 2015 Chevrolet Traverse for our review and install of the Weston Tube Step Running Board, part number 27-6620-1835. Here's what the running boards are going to look like once they're installed. The running board is going to provide a nice, stable step for getting into and out of the vehicle. Our running board is approximately seventy two inches long from end to end, the entire width of the running board is six inches, and the rubber step in the center to provide our traction is four and a half inches wide. Our rubber step is also made of UV material so it won't crack or fade in the sunlight. Also built into our step are the grooves or channels, this will help divert water so we have a good, sure-footed gripping area. As you can see we've got a nice streamlined look with our running board because it's made of a bright anodized aluminum construction so it won't rust. Now to begin our install we need to identify the front attachment points and bracket. more

Westin Sure Grip Running Boards Installation - 2012 Chevrolet Traverse

Today, on our 2012 Chevrolet Traverse, we'll be installing the Westin Sure-Grip running boards, part number 27-6620 in conjunction with the custom installation kit, part number 27-1835. To begin our install, we'll first go ahead and identify our attachment points. For each attachment point we'll be using pre-drilled holes in the frame or subframe of the vehicle. First, we'll go ahead and lay out our hardware and identify the four brackets. We'll have two on each side, one on the front and one on the rear. For each side both forward brackets are similar. Once we identify the correct bracket, we'll go ahead and mark them with a yellow paint stick. The rear brackets for each side, although they'll mount the same, the configurations are slightly different. Starting with the driver's side forward bracket, to secure it to the vehicle, we'll be installing two T-bolts into the frame. Once we have the T-bolts in place, we'll go ahead and put the bracket up against the bottom of the frame and then secure it with a flat washer, split lock washer and nut. Next, we'll go ahead and install the hardware for the rear bracket. more

Westin Tube Step Installation - 2011 Chevy Traverse- Video

Westin Tube Step Installation - 2011 Chevy Traverse

Today on this 2011 Chevy Traverse, we will be installing the Westin oval tube steps using part number 22-5020-1795. The first step involved is to go ahead and lay out all of the parts and locate their positions underneath the vehicle. We also put the hardware with them as well. First off, we are working on the passenger side. And the brackets match up to the body work. One is closest to the outside edge and one goes over towards closer to the frame. So we will start off with our hardware. When we install our hardware going to the frame here, you will notice two pieces that look very similar. However, this one has a shoulder on it. This one will actually be used towards the front of the vehicle. And that is simply going to slide inside. The hardware we are going to use in this section is going to be this 3/8 bolt and then this bridge nut. We are just going to thread those two together and we are going to put that inside the vehicle body work as well. And also, this one fastener will get a plastic disc. Push that onto the threads as well. 1:00 more
