STEP ONE: Determine proper running board length
1) Measure from the rear of the front wheel well, to the front of the rear wheel well. (78 ") This should be your overall running board length.
2) Measure from end tip to end tip of the running board to determine how much needs to be cut down. (if any)
3) Step two minus step one is how much needs to be cut off the board.

STEP TWO: Cut running boards to proper length
1) Remove the 4 nuts holding the removable end cap in place.
2) With the end cap removed, measure and mark a straight line to cut off the proper amount of the board. (determined in step 1.3)
*NOTE- At this time there should be no light wires under the board.
3) Using a table saw or hacksaw cut along the marked line thru the plastic
and aluminum.
4) Replace the end cap and tighten it with the four bolts and nuts making
sure it is square with the rest of the board. The end cap should slide
back over the board about ¾" - 1".
