Speaking of running boards...
If and when I buy some more, I will make sure the braces under them (that bolt to the truck and hold the weight of the running boards)are more flat than vertical. The braces on mine are taller than they are wide and they catch alot of the water the front tires throw up. It sounds like you're driving through alot more water than you are and is very loud and annoying.

Mine are made by BIG COUNTRY, and they're 4" ovals. They also hang down too low and I've already caught them on things and pushed one of them back a couple inches.

I'd be pickier next time I bought some.

I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.
