my last syncro had running boards installed whe i bought it. i was indifferent when I got it--but really ended up liking them there. there still there--except i sold the van to a co-worker. I have some crappy pics--p-mail me if you would like to see. they were retro fitted truck running boards. only problem--they obscured the jack points and on a syncro--lowered ground clearence. i never high centered though
