Bottom line..............the running boards were easy to install, otherwise. I think they look great and now I'm through bolting things onto my new Ridge................or at least I think I am. If many of you are correct, I've probably only just begun. By the way, thanks for all the help with suggestions, etc.  |

Also it will be consistent with each rivet nut install and you will also have a set of rivet nuts and the tool for future fun around the house or garage…

You probably still made out in the positive with gasoline traveling to the dealer....
Good thing you only charge yourself 10 cents an hour for your own time....
How about a picture or two? ........
