Makes sense, since you guys put down rocks in the winter. If I lived there I wouldn't do these steps and would use bulletproof windshields lol

Thanks for this info! It's very helpful.
I actually step into the Rhino without use of the running boards but my wife would love the retractible addition. Still considering them...

Good question. My wife is pretty awesome. She lets me do pretty much whatever I want, doesn't nag me (too much), likes comic book nerdy movies and tv shows, and after close to 20 years together she still lets me chase her around the bedroom from time to time!
So, to answer your question I guess it's the
reason that I could use the cash for stuff I want/like more since I personally don't need the boards. AKA - They're not a priority yet and I'm a selfish *****, haha!

Hey Folks,
The wife said she wanted the AMP PowerStep so I called a shop in Spokane and received a quote of $1550 + tax, installed. I didn't think it was a bad price as the parts seem to run right around $1200.00 most everywhere, as best as I can tell. Anyway, guess what she says when I tell her the good news? Seriously, guess...
If you haven't guessed I'm back to the drawing board. I'm needing to come up with an option for running boards that extend lower than the OEM boards. I've done some research on boards that fit but it's been difficult to figure out how much distance I'll be making up?
You know what they say. Happy Wife, Happy Life. Right?
Anyway - Help!
