Do you attach the splash apron on the rear fender first or do you put the running boards on first? It appears to me it will be difficult to position and attach the splash apron if you put the runningboards on first.

If so, do you already have the bed on? If the bed is on the frame you can bolt the splash apron to the runningboard and then install as a unit. Or, install the runningboard first then install the splash apron. The splash apron will fit with the running board in place, just be careful not to scratch the paint. You can do it either way. Don't forget there is on bolt hole on the splash apron that will bolt to the rear fender.

Fender welt or "Anti Squeak" is recommended. | | |
