I like the texture on the cast. If somehow it gets a chip or scrape it will be easy to touch up as well. I checked them out at the dealer this past weekend and ordered a set online. They show up Friday.

It's a double edged sword (no pun intended). On the one hand the cheese grater texture will bite, on the other hand there's no way a passenger will ever slip in adverse weather conditions.

You should add a pic so people wondering which to get have a comparison.

i have die cast on my G2 and didn't want them. Came on the truck when I bought it and the dealership would have charged 4 hours labor to remove...





so if anyone in SoCal wants a set of die cast, hit me up

Holy crap they have slow workers. There are 12 easily accessible bolts holding it to the body. How many hours do they charge for an oil change?
That would even be inexcusable if they were the lighted ones.

I will say the cast ones are darned tough. The FedEx monkeys tried their best to damage them in transit as evidenced by the torn up box but they arrived unscathed.

Hi



Anyone who have installed the Running Board on their RL2 (die cast/chrome/lighted....etc) know the ground clearance before and after the installed?



TIA

Technically no loss of ground clearance. The cast boards themselves are about an inch lower than the frame and the brackets hang down more than that. But the brackets at their lowest point aren't quite as low as the other stuff under the truck.
I suppose if I'm going over something large on one side only there would be a loss but in that case I'd rather hit the step than my rocker panel anyway.
