Custom running board traction ideas needed

[pinkpantherusmincus]

Hey folks, I am making myself a set of running boards for my rev. I have some set screws on the cross bars for traction. See the pic below. Can anyone think of a better cheap way to get traction, or should I just keep it simple and add some more set screws?

Ice traction screws that you use on dirt bike tires.

I have built four sets of running boards and they are awsome! I have always used tire studs for qaud and dirt bike tires on ice! They work great there is not way your sliping with them. The guys that i built the boards for thought they might be to aggresive but once they tried them they really liked them!

Also the mod rods boards give more support which is needed big time.

Does anyone think that the set screws wouldn't work though?

They should be fine but the screws like the ones on the skinz might work better PM if u need some I have a bunch left over ?

They will work but you will have to lock tight them in so they won't come lose. Or use a jam nut.

You could also use the skinz traction cleats. I will be adding some of them to where my traction screws have come lose on my pipe boards. Shouldn't be a problem what your using but as stated locktite as they will back out just from the vibration

 

[pinkpantherusmincus]

The skinz traction cleats are a good idea. Does anyone know if they will fit 1/2 inch rod?

 

[E-Zmoke]

Yes they will, and you can get different color combos

When I first posted there was no pic.

Still looks kind of not enough meat to them boards and might bend.
