New runningboards, install help.

Looking to add the proclimb running boards to my 2016 proclimb just wondering if anyone has any tips or suggestions before I go cutting my tunnel apart? And what did you guys use to cut the tunnel? Thanks!

Double check everything twice before cutting, when in doubt leave a little extra and trim later! I like to use a cutoff wheel instead of a sawsall or air saw, easier to cut a straight line and doesn't get bound up and jump around. I would also make sure to cover the side of the tunnel, nothing like putting a big scrape or gouge in the side.

Recommend following this approach. Not the same boards but approach will work for any boards.

It's way more fun with a chainsaw.



But then again, what isn't?

I put on BDX boards about a month ago. I used air saw, took my time, it cut like butter, smooth and nice. I chose to leave the bottom rivets and cut along the adjoining line where the 2 tunnel skins meet, for strength cause I'm around 240-250 geared up. Heavy enough and agile enough that I broke rivets on my m1000 after a board change. A perfectionist would probably raise eyebrows at the sight of leaving a bottom sill around these rivets, but I could give a crap, I like strength and not breaking, especially the board fasteners.

I did first side by myself, second side after a buddy showed up for a beer. Way nicer with 2 guys, even though he continually kept calling me a fool for cutting up a brand new sled..... Yet I loved getting rid of that cheesy flimsy tin that Arctic cat calls a running board.

I just finished installing BMFab skinny boards on my 2016 the other day. I used a grinder with a zip disc then cleaned everything up with a sanding wheel on the grinder. Came out really nice and only took about 20 minutes to have the second running board off once i knew what I was doing. Besides that I basically followed the install videos posted above

Well don't if there not skinny bmfab boards. That would be just wasting money and lowering the value of your sled instead of increasing it s worth and potential.
