Ahhh...I'm glad it was something non-vital like running boards. I went up a steep hill that went straight down again. I soiled myself a little because I thought it was the body draggin when I got high centered. The wife was pissed but I like it better with no running boards...better enjoy it while I can until she makes me get new ones.

It happens. There was a thread posted a few weeks ago regarding whether or not to wheel with running boards...here is your answer.

 

You know I thought the same thing....

but...

was it good he had them....to protect the truck

or

was it bad because they got damaged and they didnt have to be....

inquiring minds want to know.

 

Its hard to say...they hung below the body a fair bit. I dunno if they kept my rocker panels from getting crunched or if they wouldn't have even touched...I'll never know. F'ing running boards, I never put them on any of my other 4x4s...stupid wife, if it was up to me I'd have 37s and wheel the ***** out of my truck

 

thats what they are for. to get beat up. I got some used ones that are scuffed up and all I need them is for door dings
