Installing bed side steps on Ranger XL / XLT - DIY instructions

[camocustom]

Are you installing them as soon as you get them? Hoping to learn from your experience!

Oh hell yes. I'm not one to wait. However, I am following the OP (@superj )Step by step. Also picking up the extra bolts needed now before arrival. I can't promise pictures and a guide, but I can confirm my own headaches once installed.

Was curious if Amazon or UPS included a point of origin. Mostly wondering if it's coming from China or a US distributor.

My tracking was updated, looks like they shipped out of TX location.

I went by my dealer to get the bolts in advance. Wanted to shoe him the thread with the information, but of course I could not find it! Also, they said they would only charge $100 to remove and install the steps! Can someone provide a link to the install thread?

None of the dealers in my area (and in FL according to one parts dept) has the running board bolts in stock. I find it CRAZY. 2019-2023 are a different size and thread. I had to order some class 10.9 flange bolts online.

Yep, they had to order them here as well.

Can you post a link to the bolts you ordered?

I wonder if the hardware store has them?

Do you know the size and thread pitch?

Do you know the size and thread pitch? or Ford Part Number?

Ordered the wrong ones. Need 2024-2025 Running Board bolts.

I did get my delivery today! The steps look and feel as the same quality others are describing, all in one piece, packed well, no issues with the trim pieces either.

Mine came 4 - 6 days early! Look good. When will you install?
