I actually followed these very helpful instructions many months ago when I first got my F15 without running boards... though I have found I needed to remove more rivets in the fender lining than here and there are actually two different versions of the rivets that look exactly the same save one has a rounder top vs a flatter top, so be sure to mark which goes where (not that I found it really makes a difference as they are the same length). Also I would recommend getting the plastic rivet install tool instead of the two plier method since I have found the latter to be more or less difficult when pulling those plastic rivets.
As for utility, the running boards are pretty much useless for putting stuff on the roof since they are very narrow, but great for keeping stones and debris from being thrown upward since the boards do offer some sort of deflection. My car is in the shop for the remote engine starter install, but I will post you a picture when I get it back maybe with some reference items.
