I couldn’t tell you what brand of running boards I have on my truck. You are good bro.


hunguu

Thanks, I'm happy for the price. It's all made overseas anyway


AdviceMang

The test will be stepping on it and making sure it is rock solid, not just looking at it.


Ekeenan86

Bigger test is if they rust out in a year or two.


hunguu

They seem solid to be honest


mkunka

I paid $200 for mine on Amazon 4 years ago and they still work great for our fat asses!


ccurry84

Hopefully they’re solid as a rock


thewheelsonthebuzz

Like a rock? I had to check was sub I was on. Staaaaandin arrow straight; like a rock!!!!


Dragonst3alth

Hopefully they're more solid than anything on a Chevy...


knotworkin

The real test will be after two years to see if they are rust free or not. My son-in-laws aftermarket running boards look awful after 2 New England winters with all the road salt.


AskMeAboutMyDoggy

In all fairness, that's a test needed for mopar quality parts too


liquidtitaniumx

If you're happy that's all that matters


canadian2000

My mopar ones were made in Canada


hunguu

That's cool, I'm from Canada and we have lost a lot of our manufacturing


Unlikely_Estate_7489

That’s usually how it goes when the staff cost you $50-80/hr including payroll, healthcare, etc.


MrNiceGuyPartySupply

My whole Mopar was made in Canada, not just running boards lol


FarYard7039

My RAM was born in SHAP (Sterling Heights Assembly Plant). Can’t speak for the majority of the vehicle, but every window in that truck came from central Pennsylvania.


DoubleMach

For about a year then they will fall apart.


hunguu

Ya it will be interesting to see how long until they start to rust. At least it's only $200 lol


rktek85

OP do u mind sharing the Amazon link?


hunguu

Sure here it is. Not the world's highest quality but decent for price. [link](https://www.amazon.ca/COMNOVA-Running-2019-2024-Exclude-2019-2023/dp/B0C58XN41Y)


Beneficial_Leg4691

No one cares and if they do they are a crappy person for caring anyway


Shatophiliac

Mine are Ram branded, from the factory, and they suck ass. Squeaky and cheap feeling. Mopar price on those is 600 dollars. The 200 dollar Amazon ones might be an upgrade lol.


Bringthem2theirknees

Same here. No matter how tight I hit them with an impact they would squeak 20 miles later. Service department told me to wash them after driving down a dirt road…..duh!!!


gaqua

Literally nobody cares if you have mopar running boards or not. In fact I have them (because they came with my truck already) and I’m not crazy about them. There are tons of 3rd party options that are just as good or better. Those look great.


libra-love-

The only people who care are the dealership parts department who didn’t get $600 from you. Source: I’m a service advisor for dodge/ram.


hunguu

Thanks for that


Riverman931

Yep! My factory boards are starting to flake the chrome. Very disappointed


toilets777

I got GoRhino boards and they’re awesome. Would take them over my old Mopars any day of the week.


Fitz_2112

See how they look after a month and then get back to us


SoloOutdoor

I've had mine on, same ones for a year, look like the day I bought them. Drive gravel roads regularly.


1972formula

I paid $160 for mine on Amazon…they’re better than the overpriced Mopar ones


Odd-Ad-3146

Wheel to wheel mopar is $1200 after tax


ReedForman

Sheeeeesh


Ragecomicwhatsthat

Sheesh. My truck came with those


AlertZookeepergame58

Cost on wheel to wheel is $735, $100 for labor. That’s a complete rip at $1200


Odd-Ad-3146

735USD = 1006CAD


gimmedatkittykat

Cant tell a difference and I sell Mopar parts. Ones that look similar to those through Mopar would be $800-1000 ish


BossIike

Damn, those look actually really good. Mine look like shit by comparison. All black definitely looks cleaner than the half-chrome shit on my truck that gets slick as hell in the winter if you misplace your foot.


hunguu

Thanks!


crimsonred1234

Looks good to me! Have the same color truck. Yet to get running boards.


hunguu

I recommend them, installation did take a few hours but very simple


apatrol

Link please. My wife keeps complaining about climbing into the truck but I don't want to spend 1200 bucks.


hunguu

Search on Amazon. COMNOVA 6 Inches Running Boards for 2019-2025 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab New Body Style(Exclude Ram Classic)


greenwatertower

thanks!


apatrol

Thanks much!👍


Holy_Grail_Reference

If someone points out that you did not go with a MOPAR running board then that is a person you don't really need to know.


1015nola

If you wouldn’t have said anything I’d just have assumed it came with them new.


Aromatic-Cold9170

I have the same ones. Look good 👍🏻 fuck spending high dollar on shit like that


hunguu

Well said! haha


VinceLeee

The look won't be a problem. The performance over 3-4 years will be. I've done this a few times and they always flex and bend and loosen.


i4c8e9

I have never in my life looked at someone else’s property and thought, well that’s not OEM. In fact, I’ve never given a single thought to how much money someone spent on any item they have. Is this something you do? Do you walk around judging people for not spending as much money as possible on items?


hunguu

>Is this something you do? Do you walk around judging people Haha no I don't, not sure why you said that! I'm just asking for opinions on how they look. Just a discussion my friend


Qorsair

Lots of people do, yes. Especially women. And secure men typically don't care about it. There's some evolutionary science to it.


CountBreichen

Literally not obvious at all


jimheim

They look a lot better than the stock chrome ones on my 2020 Big Horn 1500. If they're durable and sturdy enough to support my fat ass over the years, I'd be happy with them. I wouldn't even know what the difference between stock or aftermarket is on these. But I have aphantasia and poor image recall so I can't picture anything I'm not looking at in the moment.


Ice992

I think they look good. Unless yours came with the OEM electrics, there’s no reason to buy the overpriced OEM nerf bars. Mine had the electrics. I wouldn’t ever intentionally pay for that, they just happened to come on this one when I bought it used. If I had to purchase them - I’d be going the same route you did!!


hunguu

Ya the power boards are nice but not for over $2500


Ice992

Agree! If they ever quit working on me, I’m putting regular nerf bars on!


Remote-Level8509

I prefer my AMP Research power boards ($1,600) they retract when not in use.


Muted-Hovercraft576

They look great regardless. I think we have the exact same truck, down to the wheels and hood! https://preview.redd.it/02xy74g6xj9d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4170a42011cbf3cb5790b94a37eaf02b4157ade2

Nice looking truck!


Key-Engineering1547

Who cares? 😂 save some cash as long as they’re functional🤷🏾‍♂️

Can you post the link to them? Thanks!

Nervous_Medicine6979

Only jerks will care. You do you boo 😁


No-Welder2377

I’ve used Amazon running boards on 3 different vehicles. They are fine


Opposite-Bad1444

i wouldn’t know without the title


Mundane-Food2480

I like em man


jstorm01

I have a tube bar running boards who cares what other people think


rickdivot

Looks like my Rough Country running board 👍


Strong-Jellyfish-785

As long as they fit well enough for stepping up, go for it.


Ciroc0512

Looks like the ones I got. Not sure of the brand. They work normally.


itrevor791

I got the same ones, paid about 140-150 on eBay. I like mine for the price, and yeah they may be cheaper but they look just as good as any other running board to me, seem to hold up just fine, had a few big gals jump up in it a few times to verify.


hunguu

>had a few big gals jump up in it Haha thanks for the laugh, I'm glad they passed the test


jimbodio

Do you like them and are they functional for you? If so, who cares what anyone’s opinion is.


Morfin8746

I bought similar running boards for my truck and I'm actually happy that I didn't spend dealer prices.


sblack33741

They look good.


hunguu

Thanks!


BuffsBourbon

I got my OEMs installed for free when I bought the truck. Long story. If not, would’ve done the same as you. They look good. Btw - most mods are after market anyway.


Particular-Agent4407

Looks good to me. The ones my dealer put on mine in 2017 apparently didn’t use mopar either. The rust is coming through and bubbling up the chrome film.


Fair-Fix8606

who gives a fuck.. they look good you know it emd of story


RR50

Honestly, 95% of people won’t care.


Nathaniel_Hornsby

PlywoodCowboy

I have open box American truck running boards on my 24 Laramie. Work great


7i0productionvideos

Had the same boards from Amazon and had them for years installed on my 2015 and then one day i notice that i had a clicking noise once in while then more and more. That noise was coming from right front passenger side. I have started to look around in the cab at that side to see what was clicking every time i was going over any little bump annoying. Then to find out the step nerf bar board was doing that at the front bracket. I took both down because the brackets where not good design and clumsy to soft. If you want to buy steps don't buy with this type of brackets: [https://postimg.cc/nMQRF2J0](https://postimg.cc/nMQRF2J0) buy like this [https://postimg.cc/2bYQCQFX](https://postimg.cc/2bYQCQFX) [https://postimg.cc/67mcw2bk](https://postimg.cc/67mcw2bk) You want to have the same design as the Mopar ones this way you don't have any problems later. I am still looking to buy a pair very soon for my truck.


thebigbrog

They look good to me!


adavis1999

I think they look good dude. Don't stress little shit. As long as you like them its all that matters. I really don't think they look bad at all.


Rondor-tiddeR

Who cares? They look great. I have the automatic ones on mine and they are a pain in the ass sometimes.


bag_o_potatoE

My mopar boards are 10 years old and look like ass, don't feel bad


hunguu

Haha thanks


kearbear978

If you don't get snow where you're at you'll probably never know the difference. Might want to look into getting them powder coating though if you get salt. I bought a cheaper set and they didn't make it through a winter before getting some rust on the brackets. They look good though.


hunguu

Good point, I do gets no so we'll see how long they last


Aragatz

How much are Mopar ones?


hunguu

$900


absolutlee21

I did that too. 3 weeks later the black flaked off and they are chrome underneath. Now 3 months later the chrome is rusting through.


Quietus76

Some people get impressed by how much money you spent on something when you could have done the same thing for cheaper. Those people are morons. They look good.


JRHZ28

Looks good. Don't worry about it. Now, that white lettering on those tires is another story.


Inner_Difficulty_381

Even though I love buying OEM when I can, buying 3rd party isn't bad whatsoever. That's what makes Trucks so great...the customization. I've never seen a vehicle you can customize so much to your liking.


Primary-Birthday-363

I wished I had powered running boards for my Durango. My wife can really use them but I don’t need them.


Frosty-Cucumber4877

Let us know how they look after a few months. Wonder how they will stand up to a few months of winter driving 🤔


Lubbbbbb

I’ve been looking at probably these exact same ones or a very very very similar edition for my new 2500. Would you recommend? Part of me wanted the power ones but for $2000 it seems silly. Would you buy these again? Thanks.


kilobrew

I have $200 Amazon special running boards, tonneau cover, and bed mat. The only questions I get is where did I get them so they can get some.


DisasterHour2531

If you don't live somewhere where it snows and they salt the roads you'll be fine.


FreshSmokeMuzik

Ehhh those look good! I don’t think anybody knows/cares about if parts on your vehicle are mopar or not. As long as it’s looks good, is legit and does the job it’s suppose to do for you, that’s what matters.


bk392

Looks good to me.... It's your truck and as long as you like them, that's all that matters.


the_eluder

Yeah, I bought some cheap Amazon ones, then a few months later I accidentally scraped a concrete pole I didn't see and they folded like a piece of paper and screwed my rocker panel all up. When I got replacements I got some much stronger Go Rhino tube steps.


Imaginary-Quote-7377

Who cares as long as it is what you wanted


libra-love-

I intentionally have aftermarket ones bc a) cheaper, and b) they look better imo.


pollorojo

That’s the last thing I’d judge. I had a set from Running Board Warehouse or something like that on my 2013 and they were fantastic for like $190, and I had them on there for probably 7 years or so.


ThrustTrust

Name brand is junk. Let rich people waste their money.


In28s

Can you post the link for the boards / I need to get a set - no drilling just bolt on ?


hunguu

No drilling at all, the studs are already on the truck to bolt to. On Amazon they are called: COMNOVA 6 Inches Running Boards for 2019-2025 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab New Body Style(Exclude Ram Classic)


In28s

just ordered


bleis716

My last two rams had Amazon running boards. They hold up to my 350lbs no problem


admiralvee

I got a set of Tyger running boards for my 2015 and couldn't be happier! As long as they hold up, they're fine! They look great on that truck!


Knightwing1047

If they work, you like them, and they look good, who cares?


hunguu

Good point, I was asking if they look good but maybe worded it wrong


Knightwing1047

I do like them. Simple and they look tough. As long as they're sturdy.


Ok_Newt_4748

I’ve got the same ones… they’ve served me well and they look great. I’m happy with my choice and no one is the wiser. I got the ones that have the hex pattern like the mopar ones.


WhatTheChuckkk

Very


rainmaann

I have the exact same running boards.


Oliver10110

Do they still bolt to rivnuts in the thin sheet metal like my 2014 or do they have a more solid mounting point now? My right side oem running board fell off on the highway after years of being supported by that thin metal.


hunguu

Not rivnits, it's bolt studs welded to the body


Oliver10110

That sounds better, on mine the rivnuts first worked loose and I didn’t notice and over time it ripped them out and tore a hole in the metal with it. After the right one fell off I took the left side off and spent a few hours fighting with those rivnuts spinning with the bolts and trying to hold them in place.


MushroomDick420

No worse than those wheels


hunguu

Haha what don't you like about the wheels? Do you prefer all black?


Stockmarketslumlord

I like those. Post a link of where you got them. Mine only has one on the drivers side, I need it on the other side where my wife gets in. Who thought that was a good idea???


hunguu

Here is a [link](https://www.amazon.ca/COMNOVA-Running-2019-2024-Exclude-2019-2023/dp/B0C58XN41Y. They seem okay, in sure OEM is better quality


Stockmarketslumlord

Mucho thanks.


bucketAnimator

I mean, I can tell they aren’t OEM but I don’t think anyone *cares* that they aren’t OEM. I certainly don’t. They look good on the truck and you’re happy, that’s all that matters.


sky_blue_111

I literally just picked those up last week. They look great!


MushroomDick420

Just look very grandpa with the whitwalls. Like I picture you have a bunch of chrome trinkets lol


hunguu

I don't really like the white walls at all ! I should have got the 22-inch wheels I guess. Maybe I can remove the white somehow


MushroomDick420

Get the tires flipped around


hunguu

Ya I think I will


MWeas

Looks good.


1989wasOK

Hey I did the same thing there. Spent about $150. They look like yours too. And no one has asked me how much I spent or if they're OEM. In fact they say the running boards look nice, and nicer than the nerf bars I used to have.


Bestrahen

They don't look bad, Rough Country has some for $250 that I'm looking into


kidmack2001

They will rust out quick. My Amazon boards were rusting after a year. Spray them with a can of spray on bed liner. Works great.


kidmack2001

Otherwise they look good.


DiskAltruistic539

I paid $140 on Amazon, no one has indicated they give a shit.


crammyhandleman

I put Oedros on mine and they look great. Your’s look great too.


breastfedtil12

Literally no one cares dude. You are good to go. Also I have some chrome running boards from a twenty fifteen Laramie I can give you for free. No idea if they will fit a newer truck though.


LowKeyTroll

Entirely obvious to anyone who read the title.


Background_Code3722

Hey can’t go Wrong for $200


hunguu

That's what I thought, even if they rust in a few years it was only $200

Inevitable_Region273

Didn't bother with Mopar brand


hunguu

Those look nice!


-ClassicShooter-

Moose running boards are not that great. $200 anything is usually better, such as in your case.


downforit11

They look good


ButtGrowper

They look good. The domino flake blend on the floor looks good too.


mach82

I literally just picked up brand new ford running boards today for $100. Facebook marketplace.


hunguu

Wow good find!


Thechad1029

It will be obvious when a heavier person steps in them and they bend


_Gnom3_

I bought non-mopar, and IDGAF who thinks otherwise, I like them. If you like yours that fuck anyone else.


AlertZookeepergame58

Do the supports show where they mount near the rockers. That’s the most obvious way to tell. Nice Laramie!


WhyNotZoibergMaybe

You will be cursed by Mopar Gods!


FunFact5000

Looks good!


misterphuzz

I really like your wheels.


hunguu

Thanks , I don't really like the white letters on the tires but I like the wheels too.


el-conquistador240

It's not obvious until they don't rust and fall off


[deleted]

[удалено]


hunguu

I have small kids so yes, it helps them climb in


Personal-Pen2963

At that price you can replace them every 2 years and be looking like new for 10 years.


whatsinth3box

Who cares? Your truck


Interesting-Win6219

They look good. Amazon running boards work man. I have some tyger auto running boards I bought for like 220 like 3 or 4 years ago as well as a cheap tyger auto tonneau cover. Both from Amazon and both have held up just fine especially for the price.


BizSecurity

I mean maybe people will think it’s an up charge for a couple little strips of carpet…? 😂 jk as long as they stay attached and support your weight or needs and YOU like them. 👌🏾


Unclestanky

I think you need a new truck. You let the Amazon ones touch it.


NeedleSpecialist

Heck I’ve got the mopar boards off of my truck in storage. I’d love to sell them for $200


bastholio

What's obvious is your running boards look great :)


Devil2960

Who cares anyway, if YOU'RE happy with them? Mine are a similar, and I couldn't give a crap if someone else likes them or not. My dogs use them to get in; mission accomplished. :)


Regular_Lavishness22

Why pay the dealer price when you can get better deals and more options cheaper on the internet


maximusjohnson1992

I don’t think anyone notices step bar brands unless you go high end rock sliders or auto retracting.


Rough-Maintenance305

I have the same exact running boards on my truck and I have no complaints about them


NoPreparation6079

The real test will be the finish on the boards. They are cheap for a reason..


These_Calligrapher_7

Love the look!! I’m looking for boards for my new truck in the same range. Mind sharing the link?


Different_Error5413

Amazon huh. Those look better than the $600 running boards I bought.


_aphoney

Why would you want the mopar boards? Mopar doesn’t make nice things anymore.


Big_Bill23

I have a '22 Quad Cab.. IMO, unless you're showing the truck (I don't), then who would care?


Capo33

Looks great to me- would never know- way to save some $


Redditburd

It's a Dodge not a Bentley. Literally no one cares or could spot the difference.


pg13cricket

I would say at least 98% of the population doesn't care what brand running boards you have unless they don't work. I think your good.


Tank20011

I bought mine off Amazon also ,couldn't afford the dealer steps


htsmith98

No one pays attention. I bought mine from Americantrucks.com. They were open box and heavily discounted despite being in new condition. Apparently, lots of people return them because they think the bolts don't fit. However, they just didn't realize that the undercoating spray Ram put on the undercarriage clogs the threads. You need to brush the coating off to get the bolts to fit. People's lack of knowledge saved me some money


AMRusso1

Do they sit up pretty high? I want ones that are just at the bottom of the cab that don’t hang down low. My Fiancé is short and can’t get in easily but I can’t compromise ground clearance


hunguu

They don't hang too low, but if you really need the ground clearance maybe you should pay extra for the power boards


Oldsouphound

Sorry for your loss buying Dodge. But yes you got a good price. Chevy fan roasting you bro, don't get all Dodgy on me. Cheers. If you can't roast your friends who can you roast?

DragonfruitLanky6368

I bought the powerstep xl from amp research. There was a local deal that I couldn’t pass up on Memorial Day. 10% off for military families and they paid the taxes. Out the door $2600 with install.


Frosty_Language_1402

It’s a fucking Ram, even plywood would do.


cptbennett

To my eye, painfully. 🤙🏽😎


bwhomebrew

I think they look fine but I’m genuinely curious, not hatin… Why not spend the extra on mopar when you spent $60k+ on a brand new truck?


AcordeonPhx

Simple, overpriced and middling durability for the type of boards you get. The best quality mopar boards are the electronic ones with limited lifespan or the TRX ones which are also obscenely overpriced. Opinion sure, but objectively far more expensive than they need to be


bwhomebrew

Valid points. I guess my rephrased question for him would be why not buy quality boards of any brand vs cheap Amazon ones for a brand new truck? Why not buy quality that will last you longer because when you just spent all that money, really what is an extra $400 in the grand scheme of things. But it’s his truck not mine, was just curious. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.


AcordeonPhx

Yeah, buy once, cry once is my philosophy on stuff that I use everyday, but I understand keeping things simple and affordable as it makes fiscal sense
