3 reviews Loved the looks of these running boards from the pictures online. Then had them installed on my Jeep Grand Cherokee but to my surprise after I actually saw them on the vehicle they stick out at least 1 1/2" too far from the vehicle past the tires (not paralle). So I went back to the web site to look at the pictures again. Now the description says vehicle specif and when you pull up the picture of the Grand Cherokee they look fine but on further investigation by enlarging the steering wheel of the vehicle shown it is a big H in the middle not Jeep. So the pictures are of only a Honda not each individual make. I am keeping the running boards but not satisfied with the finished appearance. Beware of how far these will stick out from your Grand Cherokee (further than you might want) if you plan on getting any 5" boards. Posted by Salvatore (Metairie, LA) / February 12, 20182014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Can you put running boards on a Jeep Grand Cherokee?Fortunately, installing a set of Jeep Grand Cherokee running boards can remedy this issue in an instant. Along with side steps, these parts are designed to make climbing in and out of even the tallest Grand Cherokee a breeze.
Are aluminum or steel running boards better?Material: Aluminum vs.
Aluminum is lighter than steel, but steel is a lot stronger than aluminum. So if you want running boards that can support more weight and have a sturdier build, go with stainless steel. The next thing to consider is corrosion or how corrosive each material is.
Can you install your own running boards?Installing running boards is usually a simple process, although you may want to have a friend help you out, as a second set of hands can be extremely useful if your running boards are heavy. Many aftermarket running boards, nerf bars or side steps will come with instructions on how to install them.
