I love the look of the running boards but they seem to stick out kinda far. I wish I could find these in the United States. All the nice looking boards are not available here. Can you take a picture along side the vehicle to show how far they stick out from the tires. Thanks.
Right. Not much information about genuine Mopar running board. The only thing I found is this Mopar runningboard is designed both for Durango and Grand Cherokee. Same part number, but different instruction for installation.
I've been considering the molded steps also, because my wife always complains when she's getting in that it's too high. (She drives a Prius, we all have our cross to bear.)
Does anyone know if the Mopar Molded steps are compatible with the molded splash guards? It looks like they taper and wouldn't interfere, but it's tough to tell from the photos, and my dealer doesn't stock them, it's a special order.
Does Mopar offer the tube kind (nerf bars?). Not sure which kind looks better.
I tried talking to my parts department at Jeep and after about 30 mins and 2 guys trying to find stuff in the system I gave up and figured I'd have to search it myself. They said no tube bar type steps yet for 2014 from Mopar. 2014 has been out for a year almost? May have to look at aftermarket stuff and do it myself in the spring.
Those look interesting, similar to the ones that I saw from Mopar, but the picture wasn't that clear. It looks like the ones you have would be compatible with the molded Mopar splash guards too.
Yea on ebay they showed different styles n I have a '14 but the screws suck. You will need to buy better screws to secure everything but that's a 2 dollar fix. I love the boards and no one near me in NYC has them that I've seen
As a follow-up, I decided to buy the Mopar running boards, and they seem to integrate well with the rest of the GC. Here are a couple photos from various angles:
They seem to work well with the Black/silver theme of the GC. Your mileage may vary... Jeep's not too dirty, but it's winter, so there's always some salt on the roads, it's only clean until I drive it! Plus, my wife actually steps on the running board to get in! Who knew that was going to happen?
They look good! Wanna get them soon and Hope they are as sturdy as the tubular ones or rock rails..
Are they wide enough to actually use as a step and protect the door from stupid parking lot door dingers?
these look awesome. Does anybody ave a part number of website for them. I checked MOPAR site and they did not give a part number, and price was listed as 'varied by dealer'
thanks
Here are pictures of them installed on my GC.
FYI: I'm about to sell them - ping me when you're interested and can pick them up in SF Bar area. I could also install them.
@ be_prepared those look very similar to mine. But I have the Crome trim off to the sides. Also mine come out a little more for stepping. Not sure what happened to my pictures though lol
