what different tools has everone used to cut out there ruuning boards?
I used the better boards on my 09 D800.They are not ment to streghthen the foot wells but to get rid of the accumulation of snow and give you traction with out ice build up.this was probably one of the best mods I have done.I used a jigsaw with a fine metal cutting blade to get rid of the excess.The rivets that came with the kit are Stainless S and very hard to rivet.I would recomend the air riviter from Princess AutoI don't mean to hijack the thread but do these products really strengthen up the boards? I am always nervous cutting away good metal and replacing it. How would just riviting new "stuff" to the old stuff strengthen your boards? Would it be better to weld it? Whay type of rivits are used? Sorry for all of th questions but I have been considering replacing mine. Thanks.
