Swapped Running boards

[SurfRaptor]

I noticed in the Gen 2 forum they were discussing the running boards being possibly installed on the wrong side at the factory. My dad has a Gen 2 so I asked him to snap a picture then I also went outside and took a look at mine. Sure enough it seems like the running boards are on the wrong side on his Gen 2 and my Gen 3. Has anyone with a Gen 3 swapped the drivers to passenger and passenger to drivers side so that the chamfer and raptor logo are up front? It seems like the holes would line up with under the door, the person entering the rear would have more of a step to use while getting in and it would follow the curves of the vehicle much better too. If you made the swap post a picture and let us know what you think. The pic below is how it came from the factory.

Yup, looks retarded like that. Needs to be swapped.

Yea it was in the Gen 2 forum but I wanted to see if it was the same for Gen 3. If anyone has a picture I’d like to see that also. It’s funny because I never would have saw that but I was accidentally in the Gen 2 forum. Just stumbled upon it.

I swapped my gen 3, looks better and correct for me.

I switched mine around. Personally like it better but the wormhole of opinions is deep. Simple enough to do and simple enough to reverse if you don’t like it.

What could possibly be the reason for leaving them incorrect? This looks so much better. I’m swapping mine this weekend.

I'll tell you why not. It can void your warranty! Don't you read the forum?

I broke a bolt off, it now has a Kabota tractor bolt. I lost my step warranty, dang it.

I don’t have my truck wrapped nor do I have mud flaps so the one thing saving my doors from rock Armageddon is how the side steps come from factory. The thicker portion up front helps with side spray especially if you have 0+ offset wheels. Keeping mine as is.
