Today on our 2013 Toyota Highlander we're going to take a look at and show you how to install the Westin sure grip 6 inch wide running boards with custom installation kit. The part number is 27-6120-1855. Here's what our running boards are going to look like installed. As you can see this is going to be a very nice clean look. These running boards I think are some of the closest after market running boards to what factory running boards are. They're going to be a 6 foot long board, 6 inches wide and they've got a textured grip strip here which is 4 and a half inches wide.

This is going to give us superior footing whether it's rain, snow, mud, ice. We shouldn't have any issues getting in and out of the vehicle. Now on the outside here we've got a brushed nickel finish, really accents a lot of the alloy wheels now that are on cars or the the trim on the side. It really accents that nicely. We've got our caps on either end there to really clean up the look and prevent any kind of hanging on clothing or anything like that. It'll give us nice wide area to step so it'll really make getting in and out the vehicle much easier. Then when we get to our destination they don't stick so far that you can't step over if you choose or if you need to they'll be there to allow you out safely.

Also here in the back door you can see it's going to come back plenty far enough, still gives us plenty of room so if we need it to get in and out we'll have that available. Now this application requires no drilling whatsoever. We're going to use pre-existing holes underneath the vehicle and the provided hardware to attach it. Which makes it really, really nice. Now if you'd like to add a bit of safety for night time situations and you want to get your running board even closer to that factory look, we do have a light kit available that you mount right on the board. That part number is 27-6000. Now the first thing we need to for our installation is get the black appearance strip put into position.

It's going to fit right in a groove that runs along the bottom side of the running board here. All the way across. Now we didn't have any luck trying to snap it in. We recommend doing is using a small Phillips screw driver, you're going to take out the 3 screws. We've got 2 here in the bottom and then one that's a little bit more on the side there.

Get those popped out. Set those aside then just slide that right off the end there. You can see the strip there it's going to have that rounded edge. It's going to run the full length and we're going to slide that right into that track we saw. We just need to that slide into position for now. We can adjust that forward and back once we get it about closer to fully installed. Then the caps going to go back on. There's a little hook right here on this edge that'll need to go around the edge of the running board so it'll kind of be underneath our strip there. We'll just bring it on in. Slide it in til it stops, our 3 holes will be lined back up and we can replace our screws. All right that'll take care of the pre assembly of the running board. Let's get our brackets installed on the vehicle and we'll add this to it later. Now for the rear we're going to use one of the half inch bolt style nut plates here. We also need to take our three eighths by inch and three quarter bolt and we're going to thread it through one of the nut plates just til it comes down and stops like that. These are going to be our rear attachment points. We'll get those put into position. Now we're going to grab our rear bracket. It's going to be the one that has the larger flange that goes up top. You can see we want the downward leg to be on the left hand side of that. Just like that. Nut plate will go through. You need a flat washer, lock washer and nut on this side. That needs to go just underneath where this cap is. We'll pull that down and out of the way. We pass that up and in. Then just gently tighten it down til it's about hang tight. We're good for now. Now we also want to pull down the rubber cap here a little bit further towards the inside. Now keep in mind we're just in front of the rear tire here. It's going to be the first hole that's on the side frame where the side rail here and then directly in from that and we'll find that larger oblong hole. That's where we're going to put our half inch nut plate. Sit
