Nitroers,

1. Do the 07 running boards fit on an 08? (R/T)
2. Does anyone know where you can find other running boards for an 08 Nitro other than the ones offered by Mopar. I'm specifically looking for one that is completely sealed, (not like the tubular/nerf ones). And I'm also looking for something completely chrome.

Mopar does offer this one, but we're just not feelin it:

I looked all over when I bought mine a couple months ago, and I didn't see anything that matches your description. I do recall seeing step sides, but they were black powdercoat, as memory serves. (I went to so many sites I wouldn't be able to find them again easily, either!)

look at the photo gallery of my Nitro, I got the Mopar all chrome rock rails. I like them much better than these ones with the little steps on them.

Wow, your Nitro looks sweet! Unfortunately, this is more of an issue of function then style . The problem with those is they don't provide the two key functionalities I'm looking for:

1. Molded to the body to prevent mud/slush from splashing onto the body
2. Work as a gripped step so the creatures can get in the truck without the dad-hoist.

The only other thing I've found is this: http://www.deezee.com/dz_products.php
SENTINEL RUNNING BOARDS

• Full length aluminum extrusions with Dee Zee's UltraBlack powder-coat
• Stainless steel trim piece adds a protective and stylish edge
• Molded plastic step pads with a distinct Dee Zee logo insert
• Beefy endcaps complete the rugged look perfect for today's pickups and SUVs
• Perfect fit with Dee Zee Custom Splash Guards
• Applications available for most current popular vehicles
• Pre-assembled for quick installation!

It's probably the style we're looking for, but we want it chrome. And I don't know what the deal is with the little yellow/orange thingys.

Jason , I have never seen that style in all Chrome, just the rock rail type . I think the they are marker lights ( the orange /yellow things)
