Craig Smith Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 I just had these new running boards on my 2013 Journey RT I think they look good, one I get front and rear mud flaps it should look even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobitz68 Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Can you post pics from different angles? dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) I put these on my Nitro and rarely used them. Everyone has there own way of looking at things, but I think that the DJ is too low for these. As everyone has one, this is just my opinion.

Craig Smith Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 I somewhat agree that is a bit to low for running boards however my mother has mobility issues and needs that extra little step to get in so this was about my best option. dhh3 and rolly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I put a set on our Nitro as well. While they DO help keep the sides of the vehicle clean, (which was the intended purpose) they are in the way when entering/exiting the vehicle. The Nitro has a very poorly designed seat in that there is a piece of plastic on the side that is prone to breakage. I've replaced the driver side, now the passenger side is broken. What the running boards did was make it more difficult to miss that plastic piece when entering/exiting the vehicle. I would caution you to monitor this on your Journey. While the Journey has a much better designed seat, the plastic on the edge might still break over time. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 There have been a number of posts about the passenger side plastic breaking already , mine did the 1st year so I modified the mount (plastic) and it has been ok .

ecl Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Where did you purchase them at and how much they were? I've been looking for a set, mainly to keep the car cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you do to modify the mount? I've been thinking of trying that with the Nitro. Might be the Journey is similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I took the easy way out. At first I tried to Gorilla Glue it but that lasted about a week. I ended up drilling 2 small holes through the plastic on either side of the steel capture bracket and used a heavy duty black cable tie wrap through the existing bracket hole and covered it with black tape patch. You can also fit a screw into the bracket if the plastic is sound enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windancer Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) I put chrome tubes on the car instead of true running boards, I agree the exiting is impeded somewhat, Terry Edited July 30, 2015 by Windancer dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
