does anyone know where to find those fiberglass running boards that the conversion companies used?

justpball · 12-14-2009, 05:59 PM

like these??? anybody????

**texassquarebodies** · 12-14-2009, 08:40 PM

I have a set. I think you are too far away to pick them up. I would give them to ya.

justpball · 12-15-2009, 06:32 PM

I am headed to Waco Thursday, how close are you?

justpball · 12-20-2009, 05:30 PM

alright guys, tell me what ya think... Thanks Tony, it was great meeting you! should I put them on or not????

BLE 'BURBAN · 12-20-2009, 06:25 PM

They look great I think. Even my G/F says the same thing. Leave them the color they are as it's a nice contrast to the rest of the vehicle without looking gaudy. Color matching them would subdue their lines and accents too much IMO.

One more question unrelated.... Where did you get the L.E.D. front turn signals?

x2 look good with that color may be weird color matched

justpball · 12-20-2009, 07:31 PM

got the LEDs on ebay, they are for a 90 style so it took some fabbing to make them work!

**texassquarebodies** · 12-20-2009, 08:32 PM

I see they made it to alabama ok. Any weird looks strapped to the top of your FJ ??? Anyway, my 2 cents I don't like them on there. I think they will get torn off eventually and tear up your body aswell. It was very nice to meet you though. Sorry I had to run. I was on time to my daughters girl scout meeting and got to hang out with the x wife too. Lots of fun.

justpball · 12-20-2009, 08:51 PM

LOL yea every time we stopped we got asked what the heck they where...LOL every car that went by was looking at them up there... yea i am worried i would drag them off and mess up the paint on the body to. I think I am going to paint them and when i get a lot of rock chips and stuff on the truck, maybe put them on then... I also am lowering the front about 4 more inches so they would not work then for sure... Thanks again Tony...

That pic is so dam funny. You are welcome again. Stay in touch. Your suburban rocks.

**N2TRUX** · 12-21-2009, 12:17 AM

I can't believe that I am saying this. but they don't look too bad. Despite that comment, I don't think you should put them on. As low as your Burb is, I think they will get destroyed rather quickly.

motornut · 12-21-2009, 09:35 AM

try photo shop the colour ......i'd try the darker colour match ....mine came matched and attached ..with the darker colour you may not see them (stand out) at night,may look wider
