Hello neighbors. It's Brad here at Etrailer. And today, we're taking a look at the Westin Sure-Grip line of running boards. Now this is available in three different colors. We have brushed aluminum here. There's also a black aluminum as well as a bright anodized aluminum.
Now, this can fit a variety of different trucks and SUVs and to ensure that you have the proper fit for your vehicle you're gonna want to use our fit guide on etrailer.com to make sure that you're getting the proper parts. Now, all of the sure-grip will look pretty close to this minus your color differentiation but you're going to have this nice rubber patch here and it's gonna be custom to your vehicle based on the brackets that actually mount up. So it's gonna make installation super easy for your vehicle. This sure-grip line gets its name from this four and a half inch wide rubber track here that runs the entire length of the board. And it's gonna give you extra grip as you step up here.
So even in wet conditions, these grooves will actually channel that out, making sure that you have proper grip when stepping up here and that's gonna make it easy for you and your family to be able to get into the vehicle without having to jump in there. I have little ones, and sometimes, it's hard for them to hop in the back of the truck. So having these running boards gives them that little extra step to get in place. The rubber is UV resistance so it shouldn't fade or crack over time. And it's gonna give you that sure grip every single time.
It's also aluminum construction. So not only is it gonna be lightweight and durable, but that's also gonna resist corrosion for a long time to come. The black molded end caps provide a finished look and they also help protect the boards from any internal corrosion as well. There's also a light kit that you can add to your running boards. It is sold separately but that's gonna be nice at nighttime when you need to step up here, you'll actually be able to see where it's at and it also gives a cool aesthetic look as well.
Now, when you choose the custom kit for your vehicle it's gonna come with a running board for each side as well as the brackets to be able to mount it up to your specific vehicle. There's a bunch of different applications available. So whether you have a crew cab, an extended cab or an SUV, there's a running board for your vehicle. Looking at what some of our customers that have bought these have said, they're all very happy with the fact that they've held up over time and they look just as good as the day they installed them. The installation's also super easy with just hand tools. So that's also something that's very nice. So this is not exactly something you use for protection as far as offroading. So that's gonna be more of a Nerf bar and that we have plenty of options of those from Westin as well. These are simply going to be for that utility to be able to step into your vehicle then also look good in the process..

I recommend this running boards. If you are determined you can install by yourself. It took me approximately 1.5 hours for each side.
Overall looks good and helps with the kids.
Review from a similar Sure-Grip in Nerf Bars - Running Boards
GREAT Product! Price was perfect. Fits well, looks like OEM and actually looks better than the Ford sidestep (non electric).
Needs: perhaps a little wider and a taller gap from step to door. My foot slipped a few times on entry and on exit, not much room to step on. That is my only grip....Overall and outstanding product!
Review from a similar Sure-Grip in Nerf Bars - Running Boards
It was easy to install. Had 2 extra parts in box that the instructions did not cover. I called the 800 number and the person new what I was talking about right away. He explained where it went and how to install it. It only took me and a helper about 45 minutes to install.

The runningboards that where installed a year ago are still looking brand new. It made a great addition to my Explorer, not just for the look but for the practical use. My wife who needs that extra step is grateful. etrailer did an awesome job helping picking the right product for my vehicle, the sale and installation.

Quick delivery. Extremely nice running boards and easy to install. What a difference they make on my 4runner. Thank you for your service.
Review from a similar Sure-Grip in Nerf Bars - Running Boards
They need another brace that I will make. The rear mount flexes the metal on the cab. Fit good but not real sturdy.

I am very pleased with this running board package. I watched the [online videos] installation video for this Running board package. It was very specific and easy to follow. I am very pleased with these running board package.
Review from a similar Sure-Grip in Nerf Bars - Running Boards
These running boards are great. However, the instructions are lacking and caused quite a bit of headache--especially in terms of installing the middle bolts. On our 2012 Expedition EL Limited the front and back are threaded bolts--no problem. The middle, however, is unthreaded. The kit included "self threading bolts" but after HOURS of trying, and lots of busted knuckles, I could not get the things to seat. Drove all over town trying to find hardware that would work--nada. Thanks to a [online] video of a guy with the same problem, I eventually bought a thread tap to put in my drill to cut threads (at the 4th hardware store I visited--#8x1.25 if you need to know). But even my low profile drill was too deep to fit where I needed it to. Finally, decided to just put the threaded bolt in a socket and get the drill as close to level as I could, crank up the drill, let it spin, and hope for the best. It actually worked, but turned a 90 minute job into a two day, 10 hour ordeal. Getting a friend to weld it on was my final option, thankfully didn't need it. Four stars, though, because now that they are in, they are awesome.

Running boards looks great, the only problem 3 out 12 bolts broke on me
Review from a similar Sure-Grip in Nerf Bars - Running Boards
Had them for a year so far, no complaints. They work well and mount fairly sturdy. I wouldn't rely on them as nerf bars for offroading but they work just fine as side steps. Install was easy, just use basic handtools. If you do lose the J hook in the small slot when installing, it is possible to fish it out with a bent telescoping magnet

WE LOVE THE RUNNING BOARDS WE PURCHASED A YEAR AGO. THEY MAKE IT ALOT EASIER FOR ME TO GET INTO THE EXPLORER AND ALSO TO GET OUT. IN MY MIND THEY MAKE THE VEHICLE LOOK BETTER.
Review from a similar Sure-Grip in Nerf Bars - Running Boards
Good quality. Definitely recommend a second person just to give a hand and check to make sure it's even. Very sturdy and decent amount for stepping on and off.

I installed the Westin sure-grip running boards on my 2021 Tundra Crew Max. Installation was a breeze and it took me about an hour. The running boards look amazing.
Review from a similar Sure-Grip in Nerf Bars - Running Boards
It has been 1 year since I installed my Running Boards. I Love them. They were very Easy to install and They Look Great. But the Best Part was that Christina Helped me to get Proper Brackets to Make the Install Happen. What a Company
Review from a similar Sure-Grip in Nerf Bars - Running Boards
These running boards have held up very well. Granted I don't drive my truck that much...only about 5K miles a year but when I do it is to pull my travel trailer. So I am off road quite a bit. These look very sharp and I am wholly satisfied!!!

Thank you and have a wonderful day
Review from a similar Sure-Grip in Nerf Bars - Running Boards
Installed them this morning. Less than an hour. I like that they stand out far enough for anybody to get a good foothold. The packaging was a little worse for the wear and there are some rubs on the paint that make them look like they may have somebody's return. My wife loves them and it is her 4Runner, so we are good. I would recommend Westin and you guys.
