2-Door Side-Steps or Running Boards.

[Owl]

Well, I sent back my TAC tubular running boards. I liked them, and seemed high quality, but the pinch-weld did show. The tape you got looks like a great idea to cover that!

I ordered the Clamber C3 running boards, and they should arrive Friday. I'll post some pictures once I get those installed. I heard they cover the pinch-welds. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

Is there space to fit a pinch seam cover under the running board?

Depends on how much space you need. I can send pics if you want

Another member used Plasti-Dip on the pinch seams, and although he intended it as a temporary fix apparently it has held up well for a year. It's the solution I'm going with (as soon as I get around to washing it)

Sorry for the delay. Gallbladder put me down for a week. Looks like 1/8” on the front bracket and 1/4” or more on the rears

I have the C2s, I don't have them mounted yet, so I didn't rush to reply. So far though I like what I see and the price was right. I started looking at the Goat Fabs, but too pricey for my needs, my wants were one thing, but my needs are reality.

I wanted to go with Havoc, but they didn't have them available to order, not just out of stock, they weren't taking any orders on Black Friday. Or, at least I couldn't find them, and then I saw on here the Clambers on the forum; may have been F1NDx's Bronco I saw. I went with the C2s, but I like em both, after a period away the "other one" is the one I like.

My Bronco is scheduled, so far, for this week so depending on shipping I'll get to see it soon... I HOPE!

Wow... you're getting very proactive even before you get your Bronco! That's amazing.

My Clamber C3s are supposed to get here today (Monday) or tomorrow. They got held up in the midwest (I assume to the snow storm). I live in CA and they were shipped from somewhere in Ohio or Indiana. I'll let you know how they work out... with plenty of pictures.

Yea, "proactive" that's what we'll call it!

But really getting a VIN before Black Friday was either a curse and a very good thing.

Bronco comes and I get it with no problems then, it was a very good thing.

We won't mention the other!

I love mine - just put them on last weekend. RockHard 4x4. They can withstand the entire weight of the Bronco which is good for me.

I have a white Bronco. Pinch welds stick out like a sore thumb. No set of steps will fully hide the pinch weld look.

This will...

Drys to a medium dull black that blends in very well.

Do this before adding your new steps (lot easier to tape off a line).

margareedaville ...
That Rockhard 4x4 slider/step looks really clean. Little expensive for me at $1000, but they look very nice. Quite impressed.

Lurker B6G ...
I'll have to keep the undercoating in mind also... in case the C3 doesn't cover the pinch weld to my satisfaction. Looks like a cheap fix.

Rock Slide Engineering has electric drop-down steps with rocker panel protection. Installation requires removal of the factory installed rocker panel sliders. The Rock Slide rocker panel sliders bolt onto the existing factory bolt holes for the OEM sliders. No drilling required and the electrical harness is a stand-alone which does not require splicing. I had a pair of them installed on my bronco 2 door in 2022. It's now 2026 and I couldn't be happier with them. The pair cost $2,400 and is well worth not only the 12" drop-down steps, but the added rocker panel slider protection as well is a must. I also got the LED light package that lights up the ground under the step when deployed. The retracted steps aren't even noticable because all you see when retracted is the rocker panel slider which looks like the factory installed rocker panel slider. I've used the steps in snow, rain, sand, dirt, rock climbing, and mud with no damage to steps or vehicle.
