Was driving down the highway a few days ago and ran over something (still not sure what, didn't see it in the road) that was hard enough to rock the entire truck and punch a hole through the running board which sent sharp metal shrapnel through the door!

I hate to think whatever that was tearing through the door or floorboard! In any event, replacement cost for one running board through the dealer up here is over $2200(!!!)...so I'm thinking about getting a set of Amp Research PowerSteps.

Holy hell I can't even imagine what you hit to go through the running board and debt the shit out of your door. Must have sounded like insane
