Hi...I'm new to the forum and have been shopping '12-'14 Tahoes for my wife and she HATES the OEM running boards or running boards of any kind on any vehicle for that matter cuz it bruises her when she enters and exits such equipped vehicles. She's not dismissing the aesthetics or functionality of them for others who need and use them...it's what it does to her when she enters or exits such equipped vehicles....she can't use them.
When we finally get the Tahoe, I will be removing the running boards for her because SHE will be its primary driver (and I might get behind the wheel if she lets me lol), but she's concerned about what's under/behind the running boards once removed ie. will it reveal holes in the sheet metal, unfinished paint, etc. I think the finish and slight under carriage exposure will be no different than the trucks sans running boards...am I correct?
To the main point of this post: How are the STYLESIDE side skirts attached to the Tahoe? Do I use existing OEM holes? Do I drill holes into the sheet metal? I'd rather not do that if I don't have to. Your replies and pics would be greatly appreciated...cuz if not the Tahoe, then the next vehicle will a minivan Please please PUHLEEEEZ don't let me buy a minivan, but we need the passenger space and cargo space on a daily basis. We've already done the minivan route...it's time for a Tahoe! Happy wife happy life...minivan sad husband. Thanks!
