Navigator Power Running Boards on an 03 Exp

Hello Guys and Gals,

I just purchased a super mint 2003 Exp Eddie B. Edition and I already have a list of mods that I am planning for it. One of them that I am currently considering if it is cost effective and I can do it myself is trying to bolt a set of the Navigator Power Running Boards- Can this or has it been done? How hard is it to do?

I would think since both truck are built on the same frame and basically are almost identical that this would almost be a Plug n Play mod- Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I agree they should bolt on fairly easily since the Expy and Navi use the same platform.

The problem will be powering/controlling them. Since the Expy never came with powered running boards, there won't be any plugs nor will there be a program in the GEM to control them. If you're better than a novice when it comes to automotive electrical, then you should be able to tap into the exterior courtesy lights to use as a signal that would control some relays to power the boards.

I'd be interested in how it turns out and how much it costs you. Good luck.

Mechanically shouldn't be too much of a problem to do. I think the problem will come from the electrical side(GEM programming, etc.) But if there is a will to do it then there is always a way to make it happen. After you install them, post pictures please.
