- This week we installed some iBoard Running Boards on our Sprinter van build. Sandy is just a little vertically challenged and has literally had to climb in and out of the van! HAHA! So we figured it was time to add a sprinter van side step! The iBoard running board installation was super easy and a great addition to the van!

You guys are fun. I like how you had the brain separating parts and reading the instructions. I can relate.
LOL!!!!! We’re not the handiest people but we finally got it done! Thank you for watching! Stay Wanderful!!!
Thank you
Thank you!! You showed me how easy it is to install these! Now my short a$$ can get in and out easily! Thanks!!
Haha! I had the same problem! I was literally climbing in and out of the van! 😂 I have no idea why we waited until the end of the build to put them on!
thank you so much for the video, I just bought mine and the instructions shoed to use the first to holes, but it makes way more sense to do it like you did, the second and then the 3 after that metal thing on the chasis. THANKS
Nice instructions. Will be installing similar once tomorrow. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from LA!
Thanks so much! Really hope this makes the process a little easier for ya!
@@WanderfulRevolution Yep, it did help a lot! Thanks so much again. Cheers.
Bluebell Banana Pudding ice cream!!!
Now THAT sounds amazing!
Ozzy agrees, ice cream fixes everything. My fav flav, Cherry Cheesecake.
Yum! That sounds good! Who makes that icecream!?
Now I can get in it! Lol
😂😊 Short people problems!! LOL
Running boards look great, and hey look! You pulled the old switcheroo with the backsplash, didn't ya? I'm a mint chocolate chip guy, (the white color mint, not the green). -Burt in NJ
The old stuff didn’t quite work out but so far we are pleased with the second one! I like the colors of this one too!
Looks great!
How do find one for 2016 sprinter van.
We found ours on Amazon. Should be a link in the video description. I think they make a version for a 2016
Noticed your shower wet bath in video. Are you using a black tank or is it a cassette. Thx
We have a Nature’s Head composting toilet… it works well for us!
salted caramel doubled up with Rum& Rasin
Sounds delicious! 😊 I’ve never had rum and raisin though!
@@WanderfulRevolution you ever make it to NZ then you should find out yummy
Climbing into my van i always go to driver door because I can hold on to steering wheel. I am 4feet 9 inches.
You totally understand then!!! And you are even shorter than me! The step REALLY helps!!!
More like AstroNUT! HAHAHAHAHA!
😂🤣😂🤣 yes he is!
They don't allow astronauts to have a beard
😊😂 he probably would need to get rid of the beard if he wants to be a real astronaut 👩🚀
One small step for... van? :P
One giant leap for vankind! I thought of that after we filmed... Lol...
my favorite ice cream is organic coconut from Brazil. The Hispanic countries make ice cream from the real fruit. U can never find real ice cream in a USA grocery store.
The hispanic stores that make ice cream and sell it in their store are better ice cream.
If u ever want to visit one of the places that Abraham Lincoln used to sleep at near Waukegan Illinois ( gorgeous antique house) , there is a Mexican bakery that sells real ice cream.
That sounds delicious! We will definitely keep thinking mind! Hopefully we can find some to try!
Sea salt caramel
Now we’re talking! One of my favorites too!
I noticed that u don't use any (oil base) rust proofing under your van.
U should use vaseline and transmission fluid. Spay it under your van. Put vasiline on every screw and nut before attaching it to van. Use latex gloves to protect your skin from the Vaseline. Vaseline can cause cancer on the skin.
Put vaseline in microwave and turn it to liquid. Put it in a spay bottle. Or put it in a plastic ketchup bottle that you can get from the Dollar Tree store.
Put the liquid vaseline all over your van doors. Must remove the car board cover on door 1st .
Then spay the transmission fluid inside the doors. Transmission fluid is messing; so just use it inside the doors. Inside only. All the doors.
Put newspaper on ground to catch any drips. Keep the doors open for an hour. You will want to disconnect your battery when the doors are open.
Spraying all wheel wells, & under bumpers. Under van especially those chains that hold up the attachments u put under your van.
I covered up with blue tape all the stickers on the inside of the van hood. Then I spayed the entire hood, and laches. Waited 30 days. Then sprayed hood with bed liner . Bed liners that r used for open pickup trucks. 25 yrs later my hood doesn't have rust.
I get better price at stores that sell paint for automobile body shops. better then Home depot or Lows or Menards.
Ask any body shop where do they buy paint.
This will keep your van from rusting if you do it once a year.
Power wash your van before u start. Wash under van to remove any dirt from road driving.
I didn't get rust for 19 years on my van. Then I stopped doing it 1/yr. And 3 years later I got rust.
Make sure to wear a plastic suit while spraying under van. Cover eyes with plastic eye protection that cost $1 at dollar tree store.
I used a shower cap to cover my hair.
I use latex gloves and dishwashing gloves on top of the latex glove.
U can make an extension tube with rubber hose and a piece of Hallow tube. The type of tubing that they use for brake lines. It helps get in areas that arms don't fit.
Or u can go to Menards and buy a very small pump spay container. One gallon at my Menards or Home depot cost less $7.
I also Stapled a peice of plastic to the backboard of the doors. That way it doesn't get messy. Thick plastic is sold at Walmart in the sewing department.
Walmart has it in 4 feet rolls. $3/ Yard. 4 mill thick.
U can also use this plastic on all doors with Velcro.
It is great insulation. I didn't feel cold air coming in the door . 20 degree Fahrenheit.
Remember this can cause cancer on skin!!! So please, protect skin from vaseline and transmission fluid!!!
My dollar tree store sell transmission fluid.
