Re: Protecting the Running boards
That is one of the biggest battles with nice paint on a truck if you have color matched running boards.
That was about the only thing my dad and I ever battled over in my life, He always wore cowboy boots because he thought the higher heels made him look taller but had a real bad habit of standing beside the truck with one foot on the running board in one of those 40's stand beside the car poses.
I used to carry a carpet square that I got somewhere in the truck to set on the passenger side running board for people to get in and out. A rubber backed thing that I picked up at a discount flooring store one day. I finally put a piece of cord on it so my wife could set it on the running board and then pull it up in the truck and close the door.
