it'll just happen again though. i've always used my nerf bars getting in and out of the truck and the drivers seat is in pretty good shape because of it.

stainless is the best. if you want shiny stainless, look into nasta brand.
good pics sheriff.

i hope your body bolts are not hopelessly rusted in.
if they don't break loose, find a buddy with an impact wrench for removal.
