Although pricey they are the ultimate solution to snow build up on your boards.

It's really nice to have the option, I think more important of an upgrade than any other for playing in the POW.

Not my call but I'm impressed that they came in under $500. There is a TON of welding and machining on these to get them right. Labor is where all the cost is on these but IMO worth every penny.

Those look perfect.
I would say as always you get what you pay for. I feel like I wasted 150 on the ones I have now. Yours look worth the bucks.

I have a toe nail on each foot that is black from kicking the snow out of the foot wells all winter. I guess its a small price to pay for deep powder riding. I can send pics if interested......of my toes, not the deep powder riding.

Looks like the foot wells may still be an issue. I guess there is not much you can doo with the braces that run through that area?

Yea they do looks sweet , just sayin on the price point. Do you know what i mean about the cross pc vs main bar?

Wondering how they are secured in the front footwell area?
Looking at the pictures its hard to see if they are or aren't secured.
Would think that they would have to be secured in the front to prevent
them from bending.

Insaneboltrounder/sjohns · Mar 31, 2010

They will look deadly in black but will scratch pretty easy. What could a guy spray em with? I was thinking rino liner?

tudizzle · Mar 31, 2010

very nice....I have always resisted after market boards because they were not all that impressive....these, if they last, have raised the bar.

are they any wider than stock?

can you post a complete side shot with no funky angle so a person can get a better idea.

those look really good, dont think a person will have any snow build up with those

pic from undereneith for mounting.

dont see any rivits or screws attaching them accept

at the end on the tunnel.looks heavier than stock if its all solid aluminum

witch it would probably have to be to keep from bending on the out side

1/2 lip from tunnel that it sits on and a coupl rivits up front where it

attaches in foot well ,or the pics are not a

complete in stall.if the running board doesnt attach to the tunnel along the side

there is no support for the tunnel,hopping from side to side would create a gap

between the 2 by pushing the tunnel in towards the track and it would probaly

rattle against the running board.if im wrong im wrong.

does look good though

xpspenziv · Apr 1, 2010

is it just sitting on the out rail?

mtnpull · Apr 1, 2010

They use the OEM mounting points whenever possible and then do additional where they see fit to improve strength.

These won't scratch very easily. They actually sand blast the aluminum before coating them unlike other companies that just wipe them down.

I don't think the XP boards are any wider but I'll check. Definitely raising the bar no doubt.
