Our 2021 RL came with the utility package - had the running boards and roof rack crossbars. I think it was a $1,400 option for both.
After living with them (running boards) for a week, I removed them. They scrubbed your heels and made in/out a PITA. They look good and are really sturdy, but for us they were no use and we like it better without.
The roof crossbars create a lot of wind noise and aren’t easy to remove. I wrapped the first crossbar with paracord and the wind noise went away. Easiest fix ever.
Thanks for this feedback, made me decide to not include them in my purchase
Can I buy it from you?
My 2023 RL came with the running boards and roof rack. Honda OEM is excellent.
Agreed. Way better than aftermarket. IMO.
Thanks for the video. Just used this as a guide on how to UNinstall the step rails that came on my 2022 Ridgeline. Not short enough to need them and they didn't do much besides scrape the back of my leg getting into the truck.
I used to scrape my leg too. But two days later my body learned not to do that again. Lol
Just traded my Silverado for a 24 Ridgeline RTL. The Transmission on the Chevy died with only 99k miles on it. I've only had the RL for a week but I'm really liking the change. I like those side door trim bumpers. I may add them to my truck. Its a nice look...
So happy my 21 came with them and roof rails. It improves the look so much!
Showoff!
This is a must have item for shorter folks like myself.
pretty good video. first of all, do NOT buy pre assembled. you need all 6 brackets loose. I am a 62 year old overweight man with a right leg amputation. I installed both side in less than an hour. this is not easy but simple. unless you have a older 2 wheel drive model you don't need to drive it up on front wheel ramps. there is plenty of ground clearance. all you need to do is cut back each factory scored cut out 1/2 inch on each side and snap them off (6). you will need a 3/8 inch ratchet. 3/8 × 3 extension and a 1/2 shallow socket. utility knife as well. torque wrench set to 20 lbs. is optional. looks great.
Something to think about: I have a quickjack 5000 lift, in my garage. I don't think these running boards would allow the use of that lift. Trust me. I would love to put them on. They look good. Keep up the great videos. I would love to see the 1.5 lift with tires and such!
Thank you.
Yeah. That’s a nice lift. You probably can still use the lift by putting blocks under the spots where you have access to the frame. So I would not count it out.
I have those on mine. I found to get used to it after.
Make a video for leveling kit.
ordered mine the same for my 2021 Ridgeline, thanks for sharing!
I love it. I now know exactly what they are for. My kids cannot get into the truck so they have to use the step. For that reason alone these are now priceless for me.
Just bought a 2018 Ridgeline with these on, do not like them, it doesn't need them. Going to take them off as soon as the weather gets warmer.
Sweet glad to see you back. So you gonna lift it? Greg at Traxda gave me an hour tour on their shop and manufacturing. I've gotten all my extras done except that one. Happy Trails Brother 👋👍
Yep. Slowly getting back in to making videos. We bought a home so we Been busy with move and refresh. I am not sure yet on lift but if I do it will be 1.5” I think.
Спасибо Юрий, думал и себе что-то подобное инсталировать!
This is great. Question. I bought a running board without the screws to mount it with. Any idea what size the screws are? Thanks.
Please give a link to purchase these running boards. Thank you.
Where can I get the molding for the dors? Thank you!
That would be cool if I can put this on a 2006 ridgeline
You for got to put lithium grease on those bolts that's what I did 2 years ago it also prevents corrosion
Would have been good to put on. With how much water it will see down there it could seize up.
Gracias amigo for you sharing.
Nice! Will die-cast rust in a long run?
Hi, great videos. I am looking to install the running boards in my 2022 Ridgeline but how can you change a flat tire , are the running boards right at the vehicle frame ? how can you lift the vehicle ?
Thanks! The running boards are not in the way of a lift. You can get one below them to access the frame. There are two main jacking points anyways which since this is Honda OEM it’s accessible. I really love my running boards. I thought I was buying them originally for looks and possibly protection from the side but now I know it’s amazing for my kids. They use the step to get in and it’s a million bucks to see them using it and entering the truck easier.
@@YuriyMotso Thanks !!
Does it block you to use a jack stand?
What did you use for your tonneau cover and do you have a video on it?
Sure do. It’s called sentry CT th-cam.com/video/WFtC703uhZg/w-d-xo.html
Yuriy ...my running boards arrive this week. Not really sure the real reason for the cutouts. The brackets look like they do not interfere with the plastic edge ...but again, I have not yet attempted the install.
When you bolt it to the frame it will butt up really tight to the plastic and cause interference. At least it “should”. Just following the Honda guide and cut out instructions. With a powerful hammer drill it will just make its own notches. 😂
Hey there. OEM install recommends removal of undercoating. I didn’t see that in your video. If you skipped that step, have you had any issues since installation?
Removal of what undercoating? You have to notch out a section of the plastics and remove the plugs. I don’t know of any other items that needed removal? No issues here. It’s a simple plug and plug.
What year is your truck ?? I think the screws I got for mine steps are longer than the ones you got
2018
Nice. Did you also add the body side molding?
No that came standard on the RTLE
They do look sturdy.
¿Would you happen to know if there're any retractable running boards for the RL?
You know I was looking for some but came up empty. I may have to look again.
@@YuriyMotso
I too had poor luck.
Thanks for replying.
Is there any noticeable gap between the body of the vehicle and the running board?
Not significant. Maybe 0.5" off the top off my head. If you would like I can confirm the exact measurement.
If you are not tall, you actually step on the boards to get in and out.
My kids use it religiously so for that it’s worth it.
Did it make any difference in mpg with vs without?
Didn’t check but I would bet it got a bit worse. More weight and more drag
@YuriyMotso thanks for responding I'm going on a 3000 mile trip and my 22 came with them from dealer so was wondering on or off but any little bit helps weight wise so off for the trip
.. maybe a future video idea for your channel? Running boards vs no running boards mpg test?? Fingers crossed love your channel by the way the dedication you have for your ridgeline is awesome and excited to see your future tests on it.
what is the name give mebthe details of the running board. thanks
There is a link in the description
I ve run over tree branches and they work like shields
Does it fit a newer model?
It should. Thanks he newer model is the exact same truck just with a face lift.
@@YuriyMotso thanks
The same part number has covered the Ridgeline since its return
nice look. dont like the extra reach.
What’s the point of these? The RL is easy to get in and out, unlike tacos which is a major plus for RL.
I found new reasons to love it. I have young kids and for my oldest son the step is the greatest thing ever. He can now enter the truck on his own without struggle. For that alone it’s worth it for me. I liked how it looked but I love how my son loves the addition and makes his life easier even more.
To get to your roof and roof rack. Its much easier than stepping on the door jams.
Not everyone has long legs …. Including me 😂
Currently unavailable.
Aw man. Was available when I posted the link. I’ll see if there is another one on Amazon I can link.
Install the leveling kit looks much better…
Considering it.
What good is it when you don’t have to step up into the truck? What this actually does is making it harder to get out. I passed on the running boards because it’s not necessary. This is for only looks. And it’s a big expensive one if you get OEM and you made your truck lower. Pass on it.
At first I thought similar. However I have now been using it for a while and have realized what it’s really good for. My kids use it to get in and out of the truck. Without it they have to crawl in. Now my son can just take two easy steps and get in. So for that alone it’s worth it.
Please send me the part number
dude buys a step then steps over it to get in and out. SMH
