Remove Running Boards?

[RrCoX22]

Are the factory running boards easy to remove? Or are they rivited/bracketed into the panels? Anyone ever take these off before and how was the removal?

They are pretty easy to remove, all you need is a couple socket wrenches. I just removed them on my 97 4dr and there were 2 bolts for every support and an extra two infront of the front doors/under the front fenders. I would recommmend taking those off first. I believe it took me 5-10 minutes per side. And boy, does my hoe look better!

If you need pics let me know.

Not too hard at all. Just bolted on. Would recommend hosing under & around boards first to avoid a face full of dirt!

Great recommendation! Forgot all about that, it sucks getting a face full of dirt for every bolt.

hes got a good point haha.

i took them off my 96 2 door about a month ago. Very easy! IIRC 6-nuts per side and they drop.
