True, I love the durability of steel, but rust is a concern. Have you seen any good rust prevention techniques?
I recommend applying rust-proof paint or using a coating specifically designed for metal. Regular checks after rough drives also help catch any signs of wear.
Sounds like a lot of work! But I guess spending a little time now saves money later, right? Plus, clean boards look great on the truck!
Absolutely! But does anyone else feel like the cleaning is never-ending? Like, I just cleaned them and they’re dirty again!

It’s like they have a magnet for dirt! Maybe I should just paint my running boards camouflage instead. Ha!

Haha! That would definitely make them less noticeable. But honestly, I think routine maintenance is the key. It doesn’t have to be a hassle if you keep it simple.

I’m curious about different finishes! Has anyone tried powder coating on their running boards? Does it hold up under rough conditions?
Powder coating is excellent! It’s tough and resists scratches well. Just remember, even if it’s durable, you still need maintenance to keep it pristine.
Good point! I think I might just go for aluminum then. It sounds easier to maintain.
Aluminum is a solid choice! Just remember, keeping them clean and applying some protective wax can really extend their life. Happy running!
