Pretty happy with running boards we had installed not long after buying our 2018 RAM 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab (APS Truck Armor Side Steps), but... snowier and colder winter in our slice of SOCO (southern Colorado) this year has meant snow and ice buildup on the step surface.

Does anyone in snow country put traction tape etc. on their running boards? We are retirees and slipping on ice wherever it is definitely a concern. The boards are black aluminum and it seems like it would be fairly painless to add traction tape like you use on exterior house stairs. Paint might be a longer lasting option though.

TIA!
