This weekend i went to rent a movie from the video store, on my way back home i took a turn to sharp and caught my running board (wasn't paying attention). So with my eyes closed I jumped out of my truck when i opened them the site was not good. The board was smashed and the frame holding the running board was bent to crap. My truck did not suffer any body damage, thank god. The first thing i did was straighen them out the best i could and removed them from my truck. So this morning I was was looking for something to replace my damaged running boards and i came across rockerflares.

Has anyone ever seen these on a truck before? I am curious to know what they would look like on my 2001 F-150 long box.

 

Nope, never seen them before. THey would help keep the rocks off the body panels. Especially with larger, meatier tires.

 

I`ve never seen or heard of these either.
Any chance of getting a replacement for salvage or SGI?

 

Here are some pics of my truck, you can see the clearance issue with the running boards. The diamond plate package on the truck is ford factory, dealerships can't even find replacement parts. Since the pictures have been taken i have removed all the diamond plate and put on a LEER topper. I wish i would have removed running boards before I damaged them.

I see what you mean about clearance.
Will the Rockerflares give you more?

 

From the pictures on there web site it looks like they are right up against the bottom of the body.

 

If you go to shop/parts and accessories/mudflaps at the top of page and click on CRE products they have more pictures of rockerflares

 

When I bought my 05 F350 Crew last year it had a chip out of the driver`s side running board so I`m looking for either a factory or aftermarket replacement.

 

I sent an e-mail to CRE products to see if they have a canadian distributor, they don't. I can get a set for my truck for under 200 bucks, but the shipping will probably be $300

 

Where in Sask are you? It would be a good idea to put it in your sig.
There must be a dealer close by to save on shipping.

 

I live in the jaw, what is sig?

 

jeepers, that would suck. those flares look good in my mind!!

 

Go into your user control panel/User CP in the upper left hand corner of FTE pages and you`ll see where to insert your location/Edit Signature.

 

Good stuff, I see you got it 5speed!
Now put your truck in your sig....

 

I sent an email to CRE products and asked how rockerflares would handle -40 degree celsius temps. This is the reply I recieved:

do not have a rating on the plastic. However it is a 3/16” High Impact ABS plastic. We are located in Logan Utah. We have been manufacturing the RockerFlare for almost 30 years. We see temps from -20 in the winter to 110 in the summer. We have not had a lot of issues as far as cold breaks, but it sounds like you are in the extreme of extremes. If you were to step on the RockerFlare at that temperature I am sure it would crack and break. We see the most winter breakage come from people who get slush and ice built up on the underside of the RockerFlare, then someone comes by and tries to kick the ice build up off of the truck. Then when the ice is kicked it will break the flare. Rocks from your tires hitting it should be fine.
(Just a note: RockerFlares are designed to protect your truck against rock chips, mud, tar and other road debris. They are not intended to support weight or be used as a step).

It is a great product that will benefit your truck, however I am just not familiar with your extreme conditions. If you have any other questions, call me direct.
