Running Board brackets

[Jmark]

I've seemed to bend up my running board brackets pretty badly on my '04 KJ

Any place to get new ones other than the dealer?

I need the front/back drivers side ones, OEM running boards.

Hammer, anvil, and some patience??

i can give that a shot next week, debating whether to take the brackets off completely and then try to bend them back or just pull the step, and try to pry/bend/hammer them back forward.

It only needs to come forward about 2.5"

A big thumb wrench (crescent wrench) does a pretty good job bending metal without much effort. Go to the local farm store and get one at least 20" long.

Yeah i would just bend them on the vehicle, and a crescent does make a darn good metal working tool, been there done that myself!

maybe a REALLY BIG pair of vicegrips too?
