Thanks for this video. It helped me a to lot install the same kit from which I bought from ebay. However, chinese engineering on a german engineering is always a challenge. The boards 5 pin holes were off and I needed to re-drill 3 of them and the bottom plastic covers holes were off and I had to drill them all. Also had to do some trimming in the front and rear wheel section.
Thanks for the video, this is very helpful!
+Stephen Fay glad it helped!
Thank you Erik!
Just got my ML, agonized over the purchase. Had a Lexus LX470 before, but it was totaled in an accident and I wanted a little better mpg.
Looked at some RX400h and RX350s but opted to follow my heart, not my head, lol.
you're very welcome. glad it helped for ya!
Excellent tutorial I'm planning to do this project in a few days, it really does enhance the look of the vehicle
thx. Will save me much time when doing this for my wife's car. Kit was $250. there are kits that are all plastic and ones with metal support like the one in this video. opted for metal one for the same $$.
it should work fine -- its just a question of how much effort and modification it requires which is why I recommend OE boards.
oh man youre the best thanks a lot for the video
no problem happy to help.
Pretty cool. Does any knows a video show how to install "side bar for CX-9 2016"?
thank you for you video ,
+malosiano1 you're very welcome.
Where ur shop need this done to same model vehicle
Thank you for doing this video. I just installed the exact same kit for someone today. It sure is a shame they didn't spend a little more time to make the kit fit without modification . I ran into the exact same issues you did!
certainly. agreed. the OE kit fits so much better.
Thank you Erik. Just got my ML 350 2015 and want to install the brushed running boards. Do you where I can find one? Will it be the same installation process shown here?
brushed?
this video should be close to the same as any running board set for a W164, but it is most relevant and useful for the genuine MB parts and the clones of those boards (the ones I installed)
Cheers mate
I'll cheers with my morning coffee anyhow! :)
Thanks for the video, I have the same kit and really struggling to install the insert for the jacking points. Any idea how to get them in?
this was 7 or so years ago, I don't recall any of the project
Subscribed. Fantastic video.. Question, where is the best place to order OEM running boards for ML350 2015? thank you for your video!
BMWmercedesparts.com is Husker auto group. I am mainly BMW, but they do MB as well. I would look strongly at them.
Hey, did you vinyl wrap the window trims yourself? Was there a screw inside?
customer car like 5 years ago, no idea
Where did you buy those running boards?
customer supplied
any chance you might know if these fit w163 as well?
thank you
they definitely do not. 163s had tubular, non integrated bars
thank you.
can you recommend any you like for w163 please?
I'd advise against them on the 163 due to rust unfortunately.. OEM though if you're going to do it.
Are they strong enough to stand on them?
would assume so. this was like 6 years ago, and a customer car to boot.
How much should I pay for installation? and do u recommend anyone in Orange county area
judging by how long this took me, at standard shop labor rates, I'd say around 350-400 dollars.
I charged this customer $250 and I would never do it again for that amount.
@@OvalboreCars😅
And how much did you pay for this kit?
it was a customer car. I do not know what they paid for it.
Ни хера не понятно, но очень интересно!!!
yes, he hexa he norelco no oheno pistachio!! I agree!
soooo soooo cheap ...
baa baa quality
they were actually pretty ok even 10 years ago.
