Well, howdy there! Let’s talk about them Aries running boards, ya hear? I ain’t no expert, but I know a thing or two about gettin’ in and out of a truck, and these things, they help.
First off, what the heck are runnin’ boards anyway? Think of ‘em like little steps, ya know? They go on the side of your truck, right under the doors. Makes it a whole heap easier to climb in, ‘specially if you’re short like me, or maybe got creaky knees. These Aries ones, well, they’re pretty darn good, from what I hear.
Now, puttin’ ‘em on, that’s a different story. Some folks say it’s easy, some say it ain’t. I reckon it depends on your truck and how handy you are. If your truck already got holes drilled in it, well, that’s a blessin’. Just gotta line up them boards and screw ‘em in. But if you gotta drill new holes, well, that’s where it gets tricky. You gotta make sure them holes are in the right place, or you’ll be in a pickle.
- Tools you’ll need: A wrench, maybe a drill, some screws, and a whole lotta patience.
- First thing’s first: You gotta get them boards out of the box and make sure you got all the parts. Nothin’ worse than gettin’ halfway through and findin’ you’re missin’ a screw.
- Next up: You gotta figure out where them boards go. Like I said, they go right under the doors. Most times, they sit real close to the truck body, not hangin’ down all low like some of them other steps I seen.
Now, if you gotta drill, take it slow. Measure twice, drill once, that’s what my old man always said. You don’t wanna mess up your truck, that’s for sure. And make sure them holes line up with the bolts on the board, otherwise, you’ll be sittin’ there scratchin’ your head, wonderin’ what went wrong.
Once you got the boards lined up, you gotta tighten them bolts down good and tight. You don’t want them boards wobblin’ around when you’re steppin’ on ’em. And if you got any trim panels you had to take off, put ’em back on now. Make it look all nice and pretty.
Why Aries? Well, folks say they’re good quality. Strong, sturdy, and they last. And they got different kinds, too. Some are just plain steps, some got a little more fancy to ’em. Depends on what you like, I guess. Me, I like somethin’ that works good and don’t cost an arm and a leg.
I heard tell of some folks sellin’ all sorts of truck stuff, like them bull bars and grille guards, even floor liners. But we’re talkin’ about running boards today, and these Aries ones, they seem to be a good bet. They help you get in and out of your truck easier, and that’s important, ‘specially when you gettin’ on in years, you know?
So, if you’re thinkin’ about gettin’ some running boards, check out them Aries. Just make sure you read the instructions, take your time, and don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it. And remember, if you gotta drill, measure twice, drill once! That’s the key to doin’ it right.
Final thoughts: Runnin’ boards ain’t rocket science, but they can make a big difference. And these Aries ones, well, they seem to be a pretty good choice. So go ahead, give ‘em a try. You might just be surprised how much you like ‘em.
Adjusting and Finishing Up: After you got them running boards on, you gotta make sure they’re just right. Adjust ‘em if you need to, make ‘em sit where you want ‘em. Then, tighten everything down real good. You don’t want them things movin’ around on ya. Make sure all the screws and bolts are tight and secure. Safety first, I always say!
And that’s about all there is to it. Now you got yourself a nice set of Aries running boards and getting in and out of your truck is gonna be a whole lot easier. You’ll be thankin’ yourself every time you step up into that cab, trust me on that.
