oem frame hiders

[Kazer]

Does anybody have OEM frame hiders for sale or preferably for trade? id be interested in trading for my OEM running boards

I am intrigued. :scratch:

What are these frame hiders you speak of?

Here are my factory running boards:

i have those same running boards, however i dont like the look of running boards or even the tubular nerf bars...so im looking for the frame hiders that came on some ex's instead of running boards

theyre simply plastic shades that hang down to cover the frame below the truck

HHmm interesting, never seen them before. have to pay more attention to the local police explorers to see what they have.

Most xls models have them instead of running boards. I've even see them on 06+ xls models....

I have never seen these before. Maybe I did and just didn't notice because I didn't know what I was looking at or looking for. I will keep my eyes peeled.

Kazer, have you tried the junk yards?

 

[Kazer]

Yeah I look everytime I go but the trucks that have them are sitting on their frames and the frame hiders are always beat up from the fork lifts

Bump

Does anybody know where I could buy these....or what the technical name for them is?

I would think they'd have a name of skirting or moulding or beauty strip.

Ebay has an aftermarket but not cheap and a bit more complicated to install.

OEM ones must be pretty rare.

Pardon me if I jump in, but I'm currently doing rust repair on my rockers on my 02 Limited. I have running boards & will reinstall them. I believe the rust will be back in a couple of years, and was wondering if there are plastic or fiberglass rockers that can replace the metal.
