4 Wheel Parts carries quality side steps and running boards. Choose from nerf bars, electric steps and more for your truck, Jeep, or SUV. Locking the hubs and driving into the next great off-road adventure often starts by reaching for the grab handle and hauling yourself into your rig. While this can be satisfying, it can also make getting into and out of the truck difficult when you're on uneven or rocky terrain. Installing truck running boards or jeep nerf bars can improve accessibility when entry angles are awkward. However, they are not just for off-road convenience. For pavement-worthy light-duty trucks and SUVs, steps can help small children and those with mobility issues enter and exit the vehicle easier.

Running Boards vs. Nerf Bars
Running boards and side steps can both assist in increasing functionality and improving accessibility. Although the terms are often used interchangeably, and they serve a similar purpose, they are designed differently and may have different advantages. Jeep running boards snug against the bottom edge of the truck frame and a step pad covers the entire length, allowing easier access to the truck bed and convenience for vehicle entry and exit. The textured pads for side steps are located just below each entry point, regardless of whether the nerf bar runs the entire length of the truck or if they are short loops centered below the door.

Benefits
Jeep running boards assist passengers in getting in and out, but they serve another purpose as well. They protect the truck from debris kicked up by the tires. From nails that may stray from construction sites to rocks and branches on primitive trails, running boards can prevent these obstacles from damaging doors and side panels.  The design of nerf bars can be less conventional than running boards, which can upgrade and personalize your rig's exterior. 

We offer superior service and the lowest prices on high-quality parts and accessories. Order online or stop into one our nationwide 4 Wheel Parts stores to select the running boards or side steps that are right for you.

Running boards and side steps were common on vintage vehicles, but many of today's vehicles are set much lower, which make them less necessary. These accessories are essential for getting in and out of your Jeep, especially if your Jeep is lifted or a driver or passenger is on the shorter side.

Running Boards Act as a Ladder

Climbing into a Jeep can take a lot of effort when it sits up off the ground. For safety and ease, install side steps or running boards to make your Jeep more stylish and sophisticated. We offer a large inventory of different colors, materials and finished that will fit your lifestyle and how you drive. Jeep fender guards and running boards are easy to install on your own, but really add to your jeeping experience.

Keep Your Jeep Cleaner

Running boards block dirt and debris from getting on the sides of the door and scratching the exterior of your Jeep. An added benefit is that 4-wheel drive hardware Jeep side steps act like a doormat for your vehicle. You and your passengers can wipe the dirt off your feet on the side steps or running boards before getting into your vehicle. If the traction on your running boards starts to wear off, it can easily be replaced with deck tape. Jeep flares and Jeep fender guards are another great option for keeping your off-roader cleaner, no matter what the terrain or weather is.

Doesn't it look imposing, high off the ground with a suspension lift and large tires? Now it's time to add something that will make it easier to enter and exit. Maybe your kids find it challenging to climb up, or your significant other regularly suggests that you ‘take the other car' when going out. Don't worry, just hit up 4WP for a range of Jeep side steps and Jeep running boards for popular models such as the Jeep Wrangler, which will help entry and exit.

Jeep Running Boards
Running boards are one way to ensure easier ingress and exit to and from your Jeep, and 4WP has a range of over 100 products offered from several manufacturers. Models such as the AMP Research Powerstep Running Boards are immensely popular, as they are powered, allowing you to remotely retract and extend them at will.

The necessary accessories such as running board mounting kits and lamp connectors are also available at 4WP.
