2013 Tahoe SSV "running boards"

[Ebay Mike]

cool!! thanks.

buying everything new, OEM is probably pretty expensive? (like the roof cargo rack, is $800 new, but I got everything for $150 from a salvage yard).

Ron

Yes I work at the dealership and I buy all my SSV stuff off Ebay or LKQ. The dealership cost for everything is $1692.12. Even if I got it for you with the really good discount the cost would still be $1269.07 so I know I have seen used pairs on Ebay MUCH cheaper and they come with all the brackets and hardware usually.

I do not know if you can adapt the newer 2015-2018 ones but here is one heck of a deal if they can be made to fit:

Ron, just thinking outside the box, Maybe it's time to get some taller friends. or let your friends do the driving and keep the miles off your hoe.

Hahaha.. I can always use more, good, friends... I'm originally from Europe and somewhat taller.

I think it is funny to see someone,shorter, climb in my hoe. (especially a woman in a skirt makes me grin/laugh... yeah I am a sexist *lol*)

wow... that's steep....

I have seen a new set, without the hardware, for $200... the brackets are kinda expensive too... do I rather look for the whole set.

I saw those running boards, brackets don't seem bad. Those are the boards without "extensions", right?

Not sure what part the extension is but those are the exact same part number for the boards that I have on my Tahoe.

I saw that those are a lot less expensive BUT... unlike with my 79 CJ, I don't feel like drilling or otherwise modifying things. so hmm... I dunno.

btw: did you install the running bords on your Tahoe yourself? I wonder how easy/difficult that is doing that in a driveway. (or where to find instructions)

There is no drilling or modifying to install the factory running boards. From what I was told at work all the holes are already in the frame and with the factory brackets everything just bolts right up. Mine were on the truck when I bought it. Sorry.

I'll look for that, any pointers are welcome. I did see some Tahoes with running boards nicely tucked underneath the body, at frame hight, not really sticking out.

Ron

OEM boards fit the best and, in my opinion, look the best. There are OEM power running boards that extend down and out when the doors are opened. They retract when the doors are closed and look like regular rocker panels. Maybe that's what you saw?'

Not many aftermarket ones look so good. They look very much "added on as an afterthought".

On exactly this forum? Or somewhere on this site?

Ron

It was probably 2 years ago, but, yes, they were in the classifieds on this forum. Shipping isn't worth it, but you never know who is in your area or at least close enough to be worth a day trip. That's why I mentioned craigslist or facebook market. I had my dad in Florida scoop up some rare parts for me from a guy on a car forum and I got them from him when I went to visit for Thanksgiving. Put a little thought into it and you'd be surprised at what you can acquire.
