Running boards?

[blackop]

Currently looking into purchasing an 2006 Hummer H3 Adventure. The one thing I have noticed in the pictures is that there are no running boards. Thought I would ask what everyone here prefers. They will certainly need to be added since I am a short guy and have knee problems. Not sure what style I should go for as I have never had a vehicle with them.

Thanks for any help.

Lol I'm sure someone here would be willing to sell you the running boards that have been taken off their vehicle considering that the majority of h3 off-roaders take them off as their first mod. You can go on eBay and pick some oem ones up tho. If you plan on wheeling your h3 at all, everyone is going to tell you to keep them off and buy some rock sliders. I believe these are the ones i had before i took them off http://m.ebay.com/itm/121377147956?nav=SEARCH and here's some oem ones http://m.ebay.com/itm/161476845331?nav=SEARCH (hope this helps[emoji106])

Thanks. Never heard of rock sliders. Not a serious off-roader simply because I've never owned something with that capability. Will definitely evaluate the need, but the being short thing makes it harder to get in and out of other vehicles like Tahoes, and full-sized trucks.

Where are you located? If you are anywhere near AZ you can have my set for free.

Located in Michigan.

Check on craigslist in your area. I know in Co. there are quite a few. Also, if you are goin to wheel your rig. They make rockrails w/ steps. Good luck

I have a set of factory stainless steal nurf bars. I'm just south of Chicago. These are the rare oem nurf bars. PM me if you want them. Did I say they are rare? Lol

I purchased a set of NFab nerf bars when I first bought my truck. They did the job until i went off road. Then they got in the way. They got replaced by some OEM rock sliders. Let me know if you would like some slightly used Nfab bars. They have front and rear steps.

Welcome to the forum. Yeah, my Rocky Road rock rails stick out enough to be used as a helper up. We like having that rocker protection, nerf bars wont do a thing for protection, but it will help you get in.... Where abouts you located. I am over in the Howell area, might be able to help you out with future mods. Just message me if you want. Let the modding begin....:thumbs:

rocky road and schwarttzy make rock sliders. I just put some schwarttzy ones one. they're heavy and solid and they have a step on them. I broke my nerf bars on a rock almost immediately after buying my 3. waste of material, unless you're a soccer mom.

Down just above the Indiana Ohio border in Hillsdale. You guys have me looking at these rock rails and I like the looks of them so much more. Nursing school and work take all my time at the moment, but would love to someday hit the off-road trails. I can do some on my 80 acres for now. Lol.

I'm in Michigan and hate mine. If I can get permission from my wife to ditch mine they are yours. They make me look my age.........

I know it may not fit the overall cool factor to have nerd bars but knee trouble is a pretty important reason to get them.
I too have knee trouble and bad back and elderly folks so there pretty important on both of our hummers. Lol
Welcome.

Hard to believe since I'm only 23 but cool is far down the list over functional. Plus my mom rides with quite often and she is even shorter. Dad took the ones off his truck since they were broke and she has a terrible time trying to get in.

My mother in law can barely climb into my Alpha, I simply carry a step stool with me when we go in my Alpha lol.

 

[blackop]

Lol. I would prefer not to have to carry a step stool around. Funny as it may be.

Oh it's a foldable plastic one. Takes up no room lol, good for her, and when I'm done it goes back in the house. But as the owner of the rig you gotta do whatever helps you out. I'm used to tall trucks so no biggie.
