The I-10/I-15 interchange in Fontana is one of the highest-volume freight nexuses in the United States, with commercial trucks comprising 18–22% of daily traffic. BNSF's San Bernardino intermodal facility, Amazon and Skechers distribution centers, and Kaiser Steel's industrial legacy mean Fontana's 92335 zip has one of the highest concentrations of work trucks in San Bernardino County — trucks that need bed protection from daily abuse, not occasional use.
Fontana averages 284 sunny days per year with July and August highs of 105–112°F and UV index 10–11. Extreme heat accelerates bed degradation; asphalt and concrete dust from Fontana's industrial zones compound surface abrasion. LINE-X outlasts factory paint and plastic liners under these conditions.
North Fontana's motorsports culture — anchored by Auto Club Speedway and the Sierra Ave corridor — means truck owners here take builds seriously. Whether you're running tools to a job site or gear to the track, Fontana residents choose LINE-X for durability that matches the way they use their trucks.

What's the difference between running boards and nerf bars?
Running boards are flat, wide steps that run the length of the cab. Nerf bars are round tube-style bars. Both provide step access — it's mostly an aesthetic choice. Our shop at 9261 Bally Ct, Rancho Cucamonga is about 9 miles from Fontana — most customers are in and out the same day.
Do running boards affect ground clearance?
Slightly, but most quality running boards are designed to maintain adequate clearance. We can recommend options that minimize impact for off-road use.
Can you install power running boards?
Yes, we install electric power running boards that automatically deploy when you open the door and retract when closed.
We serve these nearby locations for running boards & nerf bars:
“Had AMP Research PowerSteps installed on my Expedition. Floyd did the wiring and they deploy and retract smoothly every single time. My kids can get in and out without any help now.”
“Jake installed Westin nerf bars on my Tundra. The brackets were tight, no flex, and the polished finish looks great against the factory paint. Quick, professional work.”
“Ryan helped me choose between running boards and tube steps for off-road clearance. Ended up with rock sliders that double as steps — best of both worlds. Empire knows truck builds.”
