Hansshow Running Boards / Side Steps: Cybertruck Full Install

0:07What's up everybody, I got the honcho running boards installed on the cyber truck

0:25looking minty

0:28really cool design

0:31Keeping a theme with the cyber truck logo the triangles the first thing I only installed the right side so far the left side

0:38With you guys just so you can get an idea how easy it is to install the first thing I did was

0:44Go on extract mode

0:47And or off-road mode and hit up extract

0:51So then that way we have plenty of room to work with

0:55The running boards are great

0:58Cyber truck does come with auto suspension. So what happens is when you put in the park?

1:02The suspension does drop down lower. So shorter people come in but even with auto suspension

1:16anyone

1:16For them also a great thing about this is if you look on the other side

1:21The running boards not only make it easier for you to come in that of it does offer the element of protection for your car

1:30If you see here already got a little bit of road rash from just everyday wear and tear

1:36What ends up happening is this mudflap this faring valence

1:41If it gets struck when you're off-roading or at night it comes off really easy

1:45So it'll be a nice little the warning

1:49Once you start hearing things hitting that metal running board, which is in

1:54will be kind of your first sign of warning

1:59nicely coated

2:02Kind of like a bed liner material

2:04so another

2:06Pro for me personally besides my family getting out in an it easier is now when I wash the car

2:11I just could just go ahead and step on this and get up and access the roof a lot easier. Hey, how's gone

2:20so

2:21Here we have it installed on this side and it will take you through the steps to have it installed on the side

2:27If you want to just take a quick look at how it is installed

2:31Just know drilling just direct bolt on

2:35repoints the contact

2:37simple

2:38so we'll go ahead and

2:40try to breeze by

2:43Install on the side

2:44Let me take off the camera. I already have everything kind of

2:54Pre-flight in four brackets

2:58Spacer

3:0013 10 millimeter the first thing you do is

3:05You take off off four existing bolts

3:11If you want to take a look

3:14there's these

3:16there's actually

3:17Six of them, but you just take the four that's located on the center

3:22So I'll go ahead and start

3:28You end up not using them again, so

3:34Set it off to the side

3:38So these bolts are the ones that are going to need the spacers

3:44I don't know if you could see with the angle, but this plastic does get really beat up

4:07So we we took off those four bolts

4:09What we do next is these are labeled all four left side are for right side

4:16It's a little counterintuitive because the lower numbers in the front and the higher numbers in the back

4:21so four three two one L four L three L two oh one and

4:25What you do is

4:27It's kind of three points, so contact that meet the the bottom of the car and then the running board goes on top here

4:45so

4:47The spacer

4:52Goes in this hole

4:54So you could just go ahead and put the spacer in first

5:00And then you can the hand tighten

5:03The 10 millimeter

5:06So this is the 10 millimeter that honcho gives you

5:10That you removed from the from tesla

5:14Story of my life can't find a hole

5:31Just got kind of feel around for it. All right. There we go

5:43And then the 13 goes in a existing hole

5:48That you didn't have to unscrew anything for

5:50and then that first and

5:55Then I'm using this

5:59Kind of tighten it. I'll go back and

6:02Tighten it all the way with an actual ratchet

6:05But that way we're kind of guided in and then the 13

6:11I'm just going to use a hand ratchet

6:14So that's the first bracket

6:17Second bracket L three

6:20Same thing we're going to go ahead and put the spacer in here and 10 millimeter

6:34goes

6:35washer

6:37Crush washer and then the bolt

6:41You almost can't

6:45put the wrong washer with the wrong bolt because

6:48Thickness of the washer or the bolt won't all out

6:53The smaller washer to get in

6:55Honcho kind of makes it dummy proof

6:58Which is good because I'm a dummy meter tighten

7:4313 millimeter with the ratchet. So this is L3 which is a

7:48Second bracket on the driver sign

7:52Working our way from front to back

8:02L2

8:05now the you can see that

8:08Brackets are all put in one direction, which will make it a little bit easier to install

8:13Spacer goes in first where the pre-existing hole was

8:17And tighten the 10 millimeter

8:24Line up the 13 mil 13 millimeter goes in washer crush washer and then the bolt

8:38There's like a lot of wiggle room that you could kind of adjust

8:43Or if you could see like I can still wiggle it quite a bit

8:48Which allows for

8:51Kind of adjustability when you do end up

8:55Putting your running board on if you want to have it poke out

9:00Have it more flush to the car

9:03Poking out some advantages would be you could actually use the running board to

9:08Sit on put on snowboard put on your gears

9:12Snowboard boots if you want it more, flash shell to me will be a cleaner look

9:22So it's up to you both ways

9:31Can't go wrong kind of customize it to your style

9:34And then if you're kind of worried about this putting pressure on

9:41The battery pack you could see here. It says lift point

9:46So it's designed for a little bit of

9:54There's it's not labeled left or right you just

10:01Just rest it on top. I

10:03Would like to have it a little bit just closer to this fairing

10:08So I could reach the items in the back a little bit more. I

10:11Don't really need it to be sticking too far out to the front tire because they're out

10:17Load up too many things there and then you grab these four brackets

10:21and these brackets kind of rests

10:25Inside the running board down and then you tighten up

10:30And then you tighten up the

10:35bolts that way

10:37When you are putting these

10:41Metal brackets inside the running board you just kind of kind of watch where it doesn't hit

10:56Because there is not that much clearance

10:59So it goes washer

11:03Fresh washer and they're not I'm just going to hand tighten these now and they'll come back and

11:17Tighten them up with the ratchet after

11:21Reason being is

11:24It will allow me to kind of shift the running board around

11:27And kind of have it the way I want it

11:35So that was the first bracket

11:38Hand tighten

11:40So each of the brackets are going to

11:44Original L1 L2 L3 L

12:40For you just to put the brackets in first and then tighten them up so you can lift

12:48Running board up and have the threads the studs kind of

12:55Fall into place where you need it

12:58So that was another advantage of

13:03Not tightening those bolts all the way all right, cool. So our ones all the way in

13:19Toes all the

13:28Nuts to the

13:31Bracket washer crush washer nut

13:36You don't have to

13:37Hold the other end of the bracket the top end because it is welded shut

13:45So when you do tighten these up with a ratchet

13:50The nice thing is you

13:53only have to use one ratchet. You're not trying to

13:57You don't need to grab a wrench on the other side to keep it in place

14:02two of each two washers two nuts two crush washers on

14:10each

14:11One of these brackets washer first

14:20Then crush washer spe on

14:23The nut washer

14:32Crush washer nut and tighten

14:40Got two more sets one more set two more

14:44I'll

14:47Drill cuz I am gonna forget and then drop the car

14:50My drill

14:54Washer and if you're having a hard time putting these nuts in

15:06On one side you could just tighten it up with the ratchet and

15:11Then that would give you a little bit more threads

15:14On the stud to work with I wish I didn't say that because now

15:22Now it feels like there's not enough on this side

15:24There you go, or you could just put a little bit more pressure down and that way you have a little bit more of the

15:40Threads to work with on the stud on the

15:46bolt to attach the nut as I'm dropping everything

15:51I think it really gauged this properly. I'm supposed to be picking up my kid right now. So

15:58Rushing a little bit more last thing you want to do is

16:21strip these nuts

16:25bolts so just gonna go ahead and

16:28Try this other side this other side looks like I have a little bit more room

16:34A little bit with the ratchet so I get a little bit more space a little bit more

16:40Shaft to work. With

16:42Sometimes you just got to work with a stubby shaft

16:46and then

16:48Have a technique and then everyone's happy anyways. I didn't tighten it up yet

16:56So now I'm gonna go ahead engage. I don't want this to be touching the faring

17:02So I'm gonna push it out a little bit I

17:05Personally like it more flush. I don't like poke

17:08So I'm gonna push that in

17:11Okay, cool not touching the faring

17:14coming on in and

17:16Then tightening up the bolts. This is L1. This is L1 bracket

17:34And they obviously come in because I had the 10 millimeter just cordless drill

17:41not impact drill so

17:43Doesn't give you that much torque. It doesn't tighten it up very properly. So you're gonna come in with a

17:49Ratchet and hit it up. You should just

17:54Really drive with it for a few days and then

17:58Come back

17:59and tighten up all the bolts anyway

18:18Get up that one

18:20This is L3 which is this second bracket from the front on

18:30Get that a little tight and then hit up the other side evenly torque the brackets down

18:50driver side front

18:53bracket

18:55Tighten the two 13 millimeters. This is the 10

19:11There's the pin cool. And then there we have it and then gonna pick up the

19:27Kitto there we have it. All right, here we go install. Just got it cleaned up. There you go

19:28We got the running boards installed. They call them the 2.0's. I like the design much better

19:35I슷 on this new variant

19:38Spell really well

19:47I donf you hear that

19:49It's like a rough sandpaper material. So you're not gonna

19:54Worry about it. I think it is steel and it's coated in something. I think they call it zinc

19:59so

20:01You're not going to have to worry about your kids or anybody slipping on this stuff. It's really resilient

20:06And if you know if you want to build a table and you need to smooth out some wood

20:10Wood and you got no sandpaper here you go

20:13And if you want you know if you got a block of cheese and you need to grate it

20:17With some Cybertruck shredded-cheese style. You got that too

20:23Because you could see here it's a really offering protection that I should have used because there's some

20:30little light scratches from everyday use on the plastic already

20:33I think this is entry mode. It looks like it's just laying on the ground, which I love

20:41Super easy to get an add-oh

20:46You're no longer stepping on any of this stuff

20:51to get in the car and

20:54Then what happens to is I'm 510

20:57as I end up sitting on the side bolster to get out without the running

21:02boards because

21:04That's what you got to do is to step out without falling

21:09You kind of put your legs right here and you get out, but now the running boards you could just kind of

21:15Walk out without putting too much weight on that side bolster. So it's gonna give you a little bit more even wear

21:20and another advantage too is

21:28You could I think you could access so I have some of my boxes and my

21:35cover right there

21:38And I'm thinking

21:41Now that you could step on the

21:43Running boards you could have access to your

21:47Basecamp better

21:49So you don't have to worry about giving a ladder or stepping on the tire and falling off

21:56Obviously you have better access to the roof rack

22:00Which point cleaning the window I did wash the car just late last night just a quick wash in I

22:07could almost get to the middle but

22:10still need to kind of

22:12Step on the the door sills to get full access. So you end up

22:18Stepping right there and stepping up there. Let me see if I could give my

22:25German Shepherd her name's Ellie out here. Ellie come out here

22:30Ellie

22:32Come good girl

22:34So she's about 65 pounds

22:37German Shepherd she

22:44Good sit

22:45So she's been hit before so we hate to give her more pressure on her paws and her joints wouldn't necessary

22:52So let's see if she actually uses this running board

22:56Ellie up up good girl. Come

22:59Okay, well, she doesn't really use the running board

23:03But it's there she needs it. Let's see if she uses it on the way down

23:07Ellie down

23:09L a off

23:11Yeah, she doesn't really need to use it

23:14There she needs it see if she uses it on the front end so on long road trips

23:21My full my back seats full and Ellie usually sits up front with me

23:26So let's go see how she gets up here. Ellie up

23:29Ellie get up. Good girl. Okay, so she uses a running board on her, her way up to the front seat

23:37so normally we have her in the back here and

23:42And

23:44What's great about the Cybertruck is there's so many little

23:48Elk track hook points

23:49So we hook her up to the back when we go to the beach and went not short trips

23:53But for longer trips, she sits up for road trips. She sits up right front with me

23:58I put like a little cooler on the floorboard and she

24:01Could stretch out a little bit a little bit on her the right front seat

24:04All right good girl Ellie. Let's go

25:02So

25:04It helps pull really well when you step on it. There's no flex

25:13No concern with the weight that this thing is gonna get

25:18The comment of I hear of the running boards is you get you do lose a little bit of ground clearance

25:24But if you could see like this fairing

25:27It sits lower than the running board. So that's kind of a

25:32But

25:33The Cybertruck

25:35It doesn't even come with any battery protection right now. So this is like your first

25:41Warning for your battery protection if you do that'll do a little bit of off-roading

25:45So scratch up the bottom of the running board to kind of warn you ahead of time before you scratch up your expensive battery pack

25:52So that's always a plus

25:54Thanks honcho
