Does anyone know the differense between the different runningboards for different model year?
Thinking of putting them on my 2008 Nytro and will make some modification on the tunnel.
Would like to have the more narrow at the back and also a higher angle to get better clearance. I am also extending it to 144" so I am thinking of using the 2010-2011 MTX model boards?
Egon,
The boards on the 08 fit the 8 degree tunnel on the Nytro. The newer style are for the 11 degree tunnel. From the top they look the same as far as how wide they are. Trying to install a 2010+ set on an older sled will require a significant amount more fabrication work and the boards will not mount properly on the 90 degree bend of the OEM tunnel.

anyone know what the hold up is on the 08 boards i ordered a set in august and still being told they are on backorder. by the time i get them snow will be on the ground.
Double R,
I would suggest that you contact the dealer that you ordered them through. They are in very high demand and are still filling orders from the summer.

Scott,
I like the skinz bumper. I have it on the radar to chop up the tunnel a bit when tweaking the boards.
I didn't want to touch the tunnel unless I figure out a way to make as strong/stronger than stock.
Cutting the stock 09 tunnel will certainly weaken it, so my question is this,
Does the skinz bumper (as shown in the pics with a cut tunnel) bring the tunnel back up to strength pre-chop(stock)?

Mateo,
We're having a special bumper made through Skinz that will fit the 08-09 MTX tunnel. It will have the same appearance as the newer style wrapping around the 45 degree bends of the tunnel. The bumper is shorter that the 2010+ model that is shown in the pictures. It will require some trimming on the sides of the tunnel but strength will not be an issue if you are using the airframe boards.
Scott
Sounds good !!
