I think these look amazing on the Nitro....like big chunky side skirts? are these 'Mopar running boards'? I'm gonna order these for my black SXT!:D

Yeah I decided on that for practical purpose - you can actually step on them, and they act as giant mudflaps along the sides.

For those considering side steps, buy them and install them yourself - they are easier to install than a basic lego set. All the holes and brackets are there - you just bolt them on in 5 minutes.

They compliment the black front air dam very nicely. I like them.
Thanks canadianlimey, they also look integrated (slot around the wheel arches) and match the lower skirts, and the reason why I decided not to chrome the mirrors and the door handles to keep the dark look consistent. I am now half decided about taking off the after-market chrome grills :)

Hi there

Where can I buy those running boards? The are great. I like the fact that i can step on them. Nomore wet t-shirts cleaning the roof :chuckle:
They are Mopar parts that you can get from any Dodge dealer or reseller.

yeah, my dealer says for around £400 GBP though! that's around $780! Very steep for ABS running boards. Seems cheaper to buy the US mopar ones then ship 'em in?!

it very well maybe cheaper, but might not. I don't know about the UK, but to bring stuff into Canada, can cost an arm and a leg in brokerage fees and import duties and yes GST (govt taxes!)...

I picked up a set of chrome side rails on ebay for $180 (inc shipping & pa sales tax). I installed them today. I'll see if I can get a pic on here as soon as I can.

I'm also vertically challenged and needed a way to wash/wax the roof without having to get out the step ladder all the time! lol

That is a good point if when you have a roof rack.

I have to stand on the door sills with the door open to get my skis and snowbards off. That would be tough if I have a car parked on either side.
