Beautiful job...you should be very proud of your craftsmanship and dedication!

OK...so I get the message, vulcanized is better. Now here is my situation, I have OEM running boards that are in great shape and have been...
Bringing up an old post but I have been getting emails from Drake advertising his "new" running boards with vulcanized rubber pads. For those of...
Thanks. It looks like the top/bottom/left edges of the opening are good. The right side is about 1/2 inch off.
