Running boards

[avraja]

I went over couple of threads regarding running boards for the LR4 and I had few questions and hoping someone can answer. I searched for running boards on Amazon and found these http://www.amazon.com/Rover-Discove...sr=8-1&keywords=land+rover+LR4+running+boards

which are identical to BPUtah which is almost 900 dollars. Does anyone know if these are different in quality ? Should I just go with BPutah ones as I have seen others on this forum have installed and happy with.

How difficult is the install process ? Any Youtube videos outthere ? Iam not a mechanic but I can give it a try if there are some DIY video's.

Running Boards.

Avraja,

I bought the running boards from BPUtah about two years ago and installed them myself. Was pretty easy to do as I have modest mechanical ability. Mostly what you do is attach brackets to the boards and they bolt directly to the car. You basically need a socket set to install. I recall the instructions were pretty straight forward. They have not fallen off the car, so that is still a good sign. Not sure about the quality of the pair on Amazon, I went with the BPUtah just to have the OEM stuff. Whatever you decided will be significantly less than the dealer.

I found the following video's which are very helpful in installing the running boards
