4. Setup and Installation
Installation is a bolt-on process and typically requires general garage tools. No drilling or cutting is required for most models. For models from 2017 and later, trimming may be needed on the plastic DEF tank cover.
4.1 Pre-Installation Steps
- Unpack all components and verify against the package contents list.
- Identify the mounting points on your vehicle's frame. These are typically pre-drilled holes covered by plastic plugs. Remove any plastic plugs from the mounting holes.
- Familiarize yourself with the mounting brackets. Note that brackets are not pre-welded to the step bars.
4.2 Bracket Installation
- Attach the appropriate mounting brackets to the vehicle's frame using the provided hardware. Ensure the bolts are finger-tight only at this stage to allow for adjustment.
- Repeat for all mounting points on both the driver and passenger sides.
4.3 Running Board Attachment
- Carefully position the running board onto the installed brackets.
- Secure the running board to the brackets using the remaining hardware. Again, keep bolts finger-tight.
4.4 Final Adjustment and Tightening
- Adjust the running boards to your desired position, ensuring they are level and properly aligned with the vehicle.
- Once satisfied with the alignment, fully tighten all bolts on the brackets and running boards. Do not overtighten.

5. Operating Instructions
To use the running boards, simply step onto the textured surface when entering or exiting your vehicle. The wide step area and slip-proof design provide a secure footing.
6. Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your OEDRO running boards:
- Regularly clean the running boards with mild soap and water to remove dirt, mud, and road salt.
- Inspect all mounting hardware periodically for tightness. Retighten if necessary.
- The durable powder coating provides protection against rust and corrosion. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
7. Troubleshooting
- Loose Fit: If the running boards feel loose, check all mounting bolts and ensure they are securely tightened. Over time, vibrations can cause bolts to loosen.
- Unusual Noise: Rattling or squeaking noises may indicate loose hardware or improper installation. Re-inspect all connection points and tighten as needed.
- Surface Wear/Rust: While designed for rust resistance, extreme conditions or damage to the coating can lead to wear. Clean the affected area and apply a rust-inhibiting paint if necessary.
