Wondering if anyone has experience installing the RB30 Slim Running Boards on their Bronco, and can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. I thought I was starting out with a simple install, haha!
First, just a confirmation question, do all the brackets align in a way that the screws that mount the board to the body-mounted bracket are hidden? Right now, the rear and mid brackets are hidden, but the screws that hold the front of the board are clearly visible through the holes in the board. I haven't seen anything about this in reviews, and would have thought with Bronco specific brackets, they would have aligned completely under hidden parts on the board.
Second, for the brackets that slide into the board, did anyone else have trouble with them fitting? On the passenger side, everything seems to have worked correctly, but on the driver side the board gets too slim to allow the bracket to slide back far enough and attach. The only difference I can tell is that one of the brackets that attaches to the body faces forward and one faces rearward, but based on the listing photos, it appears that is going to the case as they two rear brackets are identical and not mirrored.
Third, are you able to install the boards such that the body-mounted brackets don't stick out past the edge of the board? Again I would assume the answer is yes, but right now I'm in a situation where in order to do that, the lip of the board doesn't sit fully on the center bracket, which creates a dip in the board that I'd like to avoid. Along the length of the vehicle the boards are level.
Appreciate the help!
