on the topic of running boards!
 

I'm looking for running boards cheaper than this one and available right now:
2007-2011 MERCEDES GL GL450 X164 FACTORY RUNNING BOARD BOARDS
can anybody help?

and do you guys prefer OEMs or factory replicas?
Let me know your input! Thank you!

I know this is way out of date, but if anyone currently is looking to put running boards on....I bought a set of replica off Ebay and installed myself. Does not come with instructions, but its not that hard to figure out. First one took awhile, but other side was a breeze...I was nervous about trying to install these...but if I can do it, any DIY can. As for quality, well, they seem OK, I have no issues, they look exactly like factory. Will they hold up....time will tell...
