Running Boards

I installed a pair of Romik RPD-T running boards onto the Ridgeline.

Before and After adding the running boards

Adds a bit of visual presence to the Ridgeline and makes it easier for my youngsters to get in.

Install was fairly easy, hand tools and ramps in the driveway. All four brackets installed into preexisting holes in the body.

The RPD-T is a very aggressive platform, it will be non-skid in any conditions. It will also be incredibly unfriendly to bare feet.

No hippies allowed!

The running board itself is aluminum, but the brackets are heavy gauge steel. The hardware appears to be stainless steel.

With a bachelors degree in history, I turn wrenches for a living. I’m most at peace when I hear the wind in the trees or the gurgle of a brook. I’m a believer in the Renaissance Man, as epitomized by DaVinci engineer, artist, soldier, statesman. As Heinlein said, “A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
