Hey guys I’m getting mixed opinions on adding running boards. Some people are saying you have to drill the chassis and others are saying you do t have to drill. I really want to add some running boards but the idea of drilling chassis is putting me off. I’ve got a 2012 HSE SD4 of this makes any difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated |

By running boards do you mean side steps? If so you will find loads of posts on here.

Well yes but you have to fit rivnuts, they need a tool to fit them |

The bolting points are already drilled in the bodywork but they have not installed captured nuts to bolt to, hence the need to install rivnuts. MY13 HSE Lux Santorini Black

Here's the LR Fitting Instructions for running boards - I've had several sets of OEM and generic boards they all fit pretty much the same way

I’d definitely try a FL2 with side steps/running boards before fitting them to yours, I find they hinder access as my legs bash against them, the FL2 is low enough not to need them for most people.

In the end I decided the steps were'nt for me an I fitted side rails (which I have just taken off an will be selling) I liked the look better

I took my side steps off as they weren't worth it imo , swapped over the sill covers from the FL2 which mine were going on so win win .
