Since our van is a 4x4 you need to step up roughly 24" inches high to get in and out of the van. That sounds great while off-road but while building a van it's not so fun, so today we're installing running boards.

These videos make the work week so much more enjoyable! So happy to get the KZbin ping on this dreary weather day. Hope it’s sunny at the shore!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thanks John! Nope it’s nasty here too!

[@tvpcustomsuk2792]

Love your Neighbour 😂🤣🤣makes my day better 😂😂

[@EricMarenyi]

Such a game changer to have those steps!!!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

right!!

[@clegsta42]

all the best guys

[@MathersOnTheMap]

thank you!

[@jjzeph]

for the record, I love cardboard too.

[@obieandlaurie]

Towards a pair of longer underwear….my eyes! 😂. Cheers you two, getting acquainted with your channel, love the fun you’re all about. 🤗

[@MathersOnTheMap]

haha thank you so much Obie and Laurie!!!! We really appreciate it!! We're glad to hear you're enjoying the channel!!!!

[@wyatt4778]

Looking good!

[@seedickbuild]

The first thing we ordered. My wife is 5' and getting in and out was a challenge for her (I was entertained 😅)

[@MathersOnTheMap]

I hear ya! I'm 6'1" and it was starting to take a toll on me too!

[@stevehori673]

First thing I bought were steps cause my wife could not get into the van at the dealership!

[@billhurley5406]

Looks great. Nice work

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thanks Bill!

[@Scrambler85]

A wise decision on the running boards. I had to learn not to jump in and out of my van after twisting my knee twice. My girlfriend is only 5'2" so steps and running boards were a necessity. 👍

[@MathersOnTheMap]

I hear ya there!!! Tay's 5'4" so she gets it

[@rm08081]

Hey Kev we can go to Charles, ahhh the things I do for you guys

[@bonnierodger7719]

Unless you are building out a van, you have no idea how long EVERYTHING takes. My husband and I are usually yelling 30 mins into it…lol

[@ryanrowe1975]

Probably the van might have to adjusting the size of length and width to adding the durability and quality of a great long carpenter wood to attached the bottom of the van!

[@mycalltoadventure9712]

Installed the same ones on my sprinter in June. They have been so great! Mine didn’t quite fit and push on the front mud flaps no matter how I adjusted them.

[@susieleiper]

Check out the "ballroom" jeans from Duluth...Kevin could be a model!

[@billblecher9215]

I can't stop laughing

[@glennmagill427]

This has Dr Magill’s approval 🤓

[@ag4169]

Congrats on expecting! Van is looking awesome👍 Hey Kevin, it just dawned on me that I may (?) have played hockey with you (~15 yrs ago) on the Bandits in Colorado. Good times!! Cheers from Andy in Denver:) (Revel owner)

[@JasonConroy]

Why don't you have a link to the running boards you installed above?

[@MathersOnTheMap]

I got the last item in stock at the time I bought them

[@castassoc66]

Did you use bedliner spay for the side trims?

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Yep!

[@rm08081]

no need for AC wearing those jeans 😎

[@crazyiball]

These are 6in correct? And do you feel the 6 in step is a wide enough step? Thanks

[@MathersOnTheMap]

yes they are, we think 6 inch is enough I wouldn't want them too wide to be honest.

[@rosskersley2163]

Hi from Australia. I need side steps for my new Sprinter. What brand and model are these? Cheers

[@MathersOnTheMap]

These are iBoard brand, the model we have is ebay.us/qJ6pnj but they're running low on stock!

[@rosskersley2163]

@@MathersOnTheMap Thanks - unfortunately those guys don't ship to Australia but I'll keep looking.

[@groovingarbie5007]

Elevator?
