    They could be ANY brand really. They look like the Rough Country Steps to me.

    I am looking to get running boards for my truck. I would love to get sliders, but I have yet to see any that don’t require drilling into the frame. These running boards look like they bolt onto the body.

    Also, when I looked closer on the steps, these running boards said “SB” on them.

    Sliders and steps are very different. I have some new sliders that are bolt on I’ll take some pics for ya. These step things kinda suck as far as functionality just a FYI.

    Oh I know the difference, im just saying with sliders (for 4 wheeling) they all bolt to the frame to avoid rock damage. However, every slider I've seen requires drilling into the frame. So, if it means going with running boards that won’t protect the frame but avoid drilling, then that’s what I will have to do.

    What running boards do you recommend? Also, do you know of any sliders that don’t require drilling into the frame? Thanks!

    I’m sure there are other no-drill options but I know that SDHQ and Demello both I’m have bolt on options.

    If you are not looking to buy sliders then take a look at these Tyger Auto Star Armor running boards. I bought mine off Amazon and have to say I like them a lot. They are heavy duty, fit very close to the truck body, and are all one piece welded construction. I like the way they run the entire length of the cab, so at any point you could use the step. At each door there is a flat section of course for your foot. They look like sliders, but are running boards.

    They could be rough country or N-Fab, I had RC and they were identical to those in your picture.4BAEB59C-CA04-41F7-8DA4-985C0654FB34.jpg

    Get some white knuckle off road sliders. If just using as a step you don't need to drill. If you want functional sliders, drilling will be required no matter what sliders you want. Otherwise there is nothing stopping them from bending up into the truck if used off-road.

    My biggest concern is drilling into the frame. That is one part of the truck I never want to have to do. Bracing onto the frame I don’t mind, but cutting or drilling....not for me.

    The white knuckle are a great fit. I didn't drill right away but left them on for steps until I eventually drilled them. You just won't be able to put weight of vehicle on them(off-roading or lift point) as they will bend upwards without the drilled bolts being in place.

    Sweet! So I can install them as bolt-on’s, then if I need them for true slider use, drill to secure?
