And yea dude, i know NOT to print out the whole manual..im not a complete ditz..lol..i meant im only gonna print out what i need..lol..silly..anyhow, ive also noticed how a lot of ppl complain about cracks in their dashboard, i guess we are one of the few lucky ones, the inside is almost immaculate. no cracks, tears, majority of it was clean, just a little dirt on the top inside. The only thing we done so far was take it to a body shop, get out what dents there were, re-paint and a spray bedliner..We got some nerf bars to put on it, but dammit, he cant get them to fit right..on the front of the truck it connects fine, but in the back of the frame, it goes up and its not level with the bar, like we have to put a spacer in between to get it connected...anyone know what to do on this??

oh yea, my fiance is from detroit, MI..so atleast HE knows what snow is..lol

I've been to Detroit quite a few times. I live on the other side of the state, but make it over there for ball games and concerts. Huzzah!

I want nerf bars too, my wife has issues getting in and out of my truck as well.

yea, not so easy when u have to hop up into the truck..lol..thats what i have to do. SO my question still stands for anyone who can answer, how in the heck do you install them when the back doesnt line up like the front and there is a gap in between the frame and the nerf bar?

Can you post a pic of the problem?

Where do your bars mount? You have brackets that come off the body mounts? Or do they actually bolt to the frame of the truck?

when we asked about it, they said that the mounting kit they sent was the right one for our truck, but obviously it isnt. We even sent a pic of everything that came in the mounting set. But they gave us a $75 refund, but not sure how that is going to fix the problem. We asked ppl at Autozone if they knew how we could get it installed, they didnt know. So, when he gets the chance, hes going to call an auto shop and see if they can do anything with it, otherwise we have a $150 P.O.S.. :0(

I would be real tempted to just return it, and then go someplace else to get something that will actually fit right...
