Anyone know if titan running boards will fit the madas?

So upset right now. I got my Westin nerf bars today and the box/instructions say for nissan titan. Looking at the brackets and diagram and not even close to how the running board is installed on the mada right now. The guy I talked to even guaranteed fitment. Now gonna have to ship this oversized box back. I'm kinda hesitant now to order nerf bars online thinking I might get the wrong ones again.

Anyone ordered nerf bars for their mada's and fit perfectly? Where did you order from?

Is there a "how to" on how to remove the OEM running boards? I just ordered the Westin 3" round nerf bars. Wanna be prepared once I receive them this week.

I could not find any videos, but it took me about 20 minutes to get both of mine off.

Each running board has three brackets that have a threaded stud from the frame through them. Remove the nuts and then there is a long bolt through the bottom of the rear bracket that must be removed.
A total of 4 things to remove (3 nuts and 1 bolt) before pushing the running board off the studs and off your rig.

Removal of the mud flaps allows for the running boards to come off even easier. A few screws and the mud flaps fall off.

I'm not a small guy and was able to climb under the Armada without jacking it up or having on a lift. I did mine alone, but a second person would have made pushing off the studs and pulling off the rig easier.

Well I'll call them 1st thing in the morning to request a return and I'm sure (they better) pay for the return shipping. I'm just disappointed because was looking forward to an upgrade on the mada. Also wanted to sport the new bars on our roadtrip to LA this coming weekend...:|.

Well I have the vent visors coming in tomorrow..I hope those things fit!

Well installed the new running boards on the mada yesterday. Took me a couple hours because they had some parts mis-labled from the drivers side and passengers side and had to figure it out. Like you guys have said, removing the stock boards was pretty simple. These are the SteelCraft 3" Nerf Bars.
