Same concept, heard nothing but great things about better boards though. One of the best mods for the IQ chassis!
Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of the Rangers. Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster and fight harder than any other soldier. Never shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one-hundred-percent and then some. Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well-trained soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow. Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country. Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission though I be the lone survivor. Rangers Lead The Way!.."All the way!" <<<<<1st Bat, 75th>>>>>

I'm thinking of getting a set myself. I know with the current boards on the dragon there will be tons of snow build up which really sucks. Might have to ask for them for xmas. Does Rob have a website Darin?

Yeah man, I just cant stand the solid ones when you are in the powder playing or boondocking and you lean it over, the snow just collects on the running boards and makes them extremely slippery and then it turns to ice.

I installed the snow eliminators on my switchback and it didn't help with buildup. It did provide better boot grip but the snow still builds up. The buildup isn't quite as bad as it was before, don't have to stomp as much. I've heard the better boards are black powdercoated and that would help. Overall I'm happy because I don't have to stomp as violently to remove the snow, and the extra boot grip is awesome.
When hell freezes over I'll ride there too!!

No, your's isn't the Raw chassis so you'll need the '06/05 IQ RMK ones.
Try the FU boards from xxxmod, hdpe that doesn't allow snow to build up on them, period.
