Running Boards: What They Are All About
Truck manufacturers are always building trucks that are higher off the ground to ensure they have better ground clearance for off roading. With such trucks, getting in and out can be a challenge for most people. This is why we have truck
running boards
. When installed, these make it easier for the driver and passengers to enter or exit the truck. Running boards are available in different styles and designs to suit the preferences of different truck owners.
With Or Without Lights
When it comes to style and safety, there are those running boards that have lights while others do not. The ones to choose will depend entirely on the needs and desires of the truck owner. The running boards with lights are perfect for truck owners who regularly drive in the dark. This is because the running boards are illuminated when the door is open pointing to where one needs to step on when getting in or out of the truck in the dark.
Material Used During Construction
Like all the other
truck accessories
, running boards are made with different materials. These materials include heavy-duty aluminium, stainless steel, ABS molded and fibreglass. These materials have different properties and strengths thus are applicable in different situations. The materials used on most running boards are resistant to corrosion, rust and oxidation to improve its lifespan. Resistant to corrosion is mostly improved by diamond and chrome plating.
Most aftermarket running boards also come with non-slip steps that prevent slipping when entering or exiting the truck in wet conditions. The size of the non-slip steps vary so much from one running board to the other. Running boards also have adjustable end caps that allow for a custom fit appearance.
They Are Customizable
Most truck running boards are customized to the truck driver’s desired colours. This makes them very popular since they provide the flexibility that every truck owner looks for when searching for aftermarket accessories. The ability to get customized accessories is what pushes truck owners to get certain aftermarket products.
Automatic Running Boards
The new developments in the running boards industry is the introduction of power boards. These are automatic running boards hidden under the truck and come out when the door is opened and retract when it is closed. These running boards are for drivers who do not want to compromise on ground clearance when off roading. They are also perfect for those who claim that running boards ruin the beauty of their trucks.
