I am thinking removing my running boards and not replacing them with anything. Has anyone done this, are the pictures of it?
 
If you sell them let me know as I am interested.

The 1958 trim does not come with running boards, so it should be pretty easy to find pictures without them.

Removal is just a few bolts from what I understand.

Thanks! I completely forgot about the 1958 :oops:

What will you stand
 
What will you stand on?
My FJ is probably a little taller than the Land Cruiser, has no steps, and I've always just stepped up into it. So has my wife. The grab handles help I guess. Neither of us are very tall (or very young). When we looked at the Land Cruisers we both stepped right over the running board without even thinking. I guess we've just gotten used to it? I don't go rock crawling for the sake of rock crawling but on some of the off-road trails (or just really bad roads) I've driven, I'd be afraid running boards would hit something and damage the body or get ripped off. I'd rather have nothing (as I did on my first FJ) for better clearance or rock rails (on my current FJ). I'm planning to get rock rails that also serve as a step for my Land Cruiser when I finally get it because my parents and brother do complain on the rare occasions I take them somewhere in the FJ. And we're not getting any younger ourselves.

I gottcha.
 
I just finished placing a Yakima Skybox on purchased ebay cross bars and needed the the running boards to arrange it. I understand about aging and getting about. I like having the floor boards to minimize the salt/slush that builds up on the side of the vehicle in the winter. Served us well on our 20 4Runner. I do not ride in rocks much.
 
Hi, would you be willing to ship to Glendale, CA if I paid for shipping?

Thanks,
Arlen
