I decided I needed running boards for my SUV and reviewed different running boards on line, deciding this was a good choice. Order came quickly. Husband thought he could put them on at first, but after reading the instructions and looking under the vehicle, we realized we would need to drill a hole for the last bolt, and he didn't have a drill bit near that big. With the snow and the cold weather, we decided it would be easier to have a professional install them. It cost about 150 for their work, they did a great job. I was relieved that the boards didn't stick out too far. I thought it was a very good deal, and the boards feel very sturdy. It's not necessarily easy to install yourself unless you are real handy in a garage and have the right tools. But I was very pleased with my purchase.
