Running Board Non-Skid April 25, 2023, 02:43:13 pm The non-skid on my running boards was lookin' a little grubby. I ordered replacements from Todd. A little pricey at $71.20 but look real purdy.jor 1 Likes

Worked well on my portable steps! My retractable electric steps still look good after 19 years of foot travel. 1 Likes

Came off easily with a heat gun and putty knife.I still have to replace the 1" strip on the side. I'll buy a roll of non-skid and trim it to size. Todd told me they stopped installing that piece and referred to them as "ankle rippers!"jor 1 Likes

Re: Running Board Non-Skid Reply #8 – April 26, 2023, 05:07:55 pm Hi Don and Greg; The older running board nonskid rolled over the edge and was sure to 'get you' if you tried to hit the ground without using the running board as an intermediate step. After 23 years the grit is mostly gone, and I've painted over the step with semigloss black paint to make it look better, and further dull the carborundom sharp stuff. I don't go around barefoot anymore, so the grit is ok. I suspect the uncovered steps with any amount of water would be treacherous, along with the entry steps and the back bumper under the ladder. The newer design should be more friendly for mis-steps. RonB 2 Likes
