Maybe he/she purchased running boards… Not everyone purchased the sliders…

Exactly!

If your sliders aren’t dirty with some scrapes and rust then you didn’t need to buy sliders in the first place.

I'm not a sliders kind of guy - just The Dude that's getting a set of running boards.

So it will or won't have bolt heads on top of the plate? Not sure I was able to decipher a clear answer on that? The pre-production photos showed bolts on the plate. The original photos showed no such bolts from the top? Just curious. Thank you

Based on this reply, " -No, those are not the final fasteners; keep in mind, bolt-on plates look very nice versus welded plates (edge seam)- plus enable changing plates for other options ", I believe the final design will bolted on plates.

That's where it's confusing. "NO, those are not the final fasteners". Then it says "bolt-on plates look nice.....". Makes me think it sounds like it will have bolts on it??

Yes, lot's of ambiguity around these, yet. They are always close or in production, but finalized information is not yet available - still forthcoming, "s00n".

Just like any other Kickstarter type of campaign. I for one can’t wait to see the final result, whatever they finally end up as.

Gang, we know everyone is super exited for all the details and photos and install videos and etc - we are cranking on all that! Here is one of our engineers working on installation instructions.... We will be updating photos shortly! They look in person! Thanks again for all the patience.

Will the final product be made in the USA or outside of the country? Just wondering from a realistic timeline perspective.

I thought he said, GA at one point. Could be mistaken.

Our running boards and sliders are Made in the USA

Looks like we definitely have bolts going in from the top. A little disappointing as I preferred the clean look of them just being welded. Plus, I enter my truck barefoot quite often while in the garage or driveway. Not sure how a bolt is going to feel on my bare foot. Not a deal breaker, but would have assumed that for just running boards, extra bolts wouldn't be necessary since they're also welded?

Now, looking closer, this photo now raises another question......Are the Rivian like logos now open to below? In the original photoshop image, they were solid. Seems like that will really open them up to allowing road dirt to kick up and through those logos? Solid surface would have kept the top of the board cleaner. Open holes will certainly allow dirt kicking up from tires to get to the top of the board. Can't say I love that change either.

On the plus side, they do definitely stick out further than originally reflected in the photoshopped photos, so will certainly serve better as a step into and out of the truck......with shoes on.

I LOVED what I saw in the photo below. Not as in love with what I see in the photo above. Still getting them either way. But if I'm seeing what's going to be delivered in the photos, it's possible that I'll continue exploring other options that may come available in the future, whereas the first run photos below, I'd have been locked in and done with this aspect.

I'd like to know what the vendor's definition of "shortly" is. Sounds like my sister... "I'll be there in 20 minutes". 2 hours later, nada.

Still trying to decide between the sliders and just the running boards. in FL, so not much rock on our off roading. Wonder if the weight+ aero will have much of an effect on the range vs the boards. Choices,choices...

Yes, an "Embossed" plate would be better... Wind noise, whistling with the cut outs at speed? Who knows.

Re the use of raised "Pan head" bolts to secure the plate - Not a fan of raised bolts on an otherwise flat surface... It perplexes me that they aren't using countersunk flush mount hardware here. If I were to guess, it's because it take a little more labor/machining to do the countersinking...

What I'm most interested in seeing are pictures/videos of is all the "brackets, bolts, nuts and washers" hardware now needed/used for mounting (that was not needed/present in the original design) - in addition to whatever that "Optional aero" stuff is.
